Photos of Hawaii taken with the Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus on Verizon

Hawaii has a reputation of being a destination for a /romantic-getaway or a family vacation - and it would be great for that of course. However, on our adventure road tripping around the Big Island of Hawaii, I found a lot that guys would enjoy here too. Unfortunately, I was only here for a few days, so I didn't get a chance to do everything that I saw - amazing golf, off road adventures, and laval boat tours to see the molten rock oozing from the earth into the ocean. However, based on what we did see ... I'm HOOKED! Hawaii would be an amazing destination to explore with some guys looking for great beer, history, beaches, golf, and awesome food.

 Verizon has been awesome enough to hook me up with some of the best new phones available today, so we took the Samsung Galaxy S9+ on our trip to Hawaii. Between the amazing coverage and fast network it was the perfect traveling companion. Here's some of my favorite photos from the trip!
