My first night at Tastings, I met Sandy's hairdresser, Kristin, and she reminded me so much of Amanda - who I had just met & totally hit it off with on Samara's Bachlorette Napa trip. So I started telling Kristin about her, and took this photo of her & her cool sweater to show Amanda (because she's a clothing designer & has done some awesome designer sweater/hoodies, so I knew she'd dig this).
While I was sitting at the bar at Tastings, I got an email from Amanda (checking it on my TREO, because I'm a dork) talking about how we were excited to see each other at Samara & Max's wedding next weekend... and I replied telling her all about this cool girl Kristin I just met who reminded me of her. In my reply I also mentioned I was in Maui - and get this, the next morning I got an email from Amanda that she was there in Kihei too with her mom & sister! OMG! So, as you'll see in the Maui photoset, we hung out a number of times, drove to Hana together, etc. So awesome!
Her Mom & sister were so cool, too. I seriously couldn't have asked for a better match - especially for an all day excursion to Hana! We all share the same sense of humor and were able to instantly be comfortable and move at the same pace. So great!
I was going to go to Hana by myself, but I'm soo glad they wanted to go, because between the fish tacos & swimming in the fresh water cave pool, I know I experienced more going with them. Serendipity!
See you at the wedding this weekend, Amanda! :)
