County Warm of Conceptions: Hawaii

Hawaii

4.19.09 - 4.20.09

So I didn't do too much in Hawaii, so this post will be much shorter than previous ones.

4.19.09

Was supposed to go skydiving, but the wind was coming in from over the mountains making it unsafe to jump. So we waited around at the field for several hours before the cancelled the day, rescheduled some people for the next day, and took us back to the ship.

So Lia, Keith, Hussain, and I decided to walk to find some food. We wanted Mexican. Using Hussain's iPhone as our guide we found a taco place. I had a burrito for the first time in awhile. It was delicious. So were the chips and salsa. And then went for dessert at Coldstone. Sweet Cream ice cream with pineapple and coconut. Oh my, so good. I missed American chains so much.

From there we stopped at a grocery store to grab some food to bring to a Luau one of Keith and Lia's professor was having. He's the MICE guy (if you don't know what MICE is ask Keith about it sometime). So we showed up at the beach bearing fruit and had a fun time walking on the sand, playing some MICE songs, and eating more.

Later, when it was dark, we walked along the beach, waded in the water, and walked around Honolulu. When it got late some of us grabbed a taxi back to the ship and went to sleep.

4.20.09

As I was not one of the people who was rescheduled for the morning, I decided not to go skydiving and spend my entire day at the airfield. So instead I walked around with Disha. We went to the Apple store so she could finally replace her battery that had died just as we left South Africa. We also walked around the International Market, ran into Lia and Hussain who had just gotten back from skydiving, got lunch at Subway, walked over to the beach, sat around, got Jamba, and then took off for a supermarket to stock up for the long sea trip ahead.

After getting some food, we caught a bus back to the ship. Our trip in America was done.
