Hawaii

If you planned a trip to Maui, here's what you need to know.

This past fall I had the pleasure of visiting the island of Maui, where I got to eat a bunch of shave ice, surf while shark fins visibly poked up from the waves and eat at this place that housed a giant sculpture of a sea turtle eating pizza. It was dope. Still, as always, it seems I've been bested by Tsuburaya's Ultraman, who seemed to have an even better time vacationing in the Hawaiian islands

Hawaii high school student Ciara Cetraro went all 13 years of school without missing a day. Obviously, this is rarer in Hawaii where skipping school means surfing or hanging out at the beach rather than standing knee-deep in snow.
