A big Aloha to you all!
Today was our first day of our great vacation! We started our day off with an ocean view breakfast. We got to enjoy bacon and eggs, a fruit bowl, stuffed french toast and banana macadamia nut pancakes! After we stuffed ourselves we walked down to the beach.
We were going to our surf lessons and catamaran rides in the clearest and bluest water. We all had a quick lesson on the land then we went out to the ocean to catch the waves. Whew! What an upper body work out! We had some free time for lunch, shopping, and of course tanning! We made sure to always put on some sunscreen.
After our break we got to go on a catamaran ride! Some of us got soaked while riding on the net in the front. We were getting splashed as the waves crashed into us! It was such an awesome time! While we were out we actually saw dolphins! We even got to see sea turtles and swim with them! The fish were cool to see, even though the natives were probably bored with them. Haha! While we were sailing there were some flying fish and we were so close to the water that it seemed like we were flying with them. While we weren’t surfing and on a catamaran ride we were playing volleyball, and other students played soccer and football. We had an amazing view of Diamond Head while hanging at the beach. It was a perfect way to start our week!
We had some free time to walk back to the hotel. A lot of us did some light shopping and bought some souvenirs. Then we got back to the hotel and got ready to go to dinner at Hard Rock Café. We walked down to the restaurant and then BOOM there it was: beautiful, big and legit. We couldn’t believe our eyes! On the way up to the dining room, the second floor, the ceiling was covered with guitars all the way up! We had the great Hard Rock Café food!
The music was great and we even started our own little dance party to the song “I got a feeling”! Most of us got up and danced around our tables! We were jumping up and down and everyone was staring at us! Once things settled down we got dessert, the perfect size chocolate chip cookie. It is a great place to have fun and enjoy good food and company. We kind of wish we could have stayed longer to have another party!
At the end of the day we had a group meeting to talk about tomorrow. Belo keeps surprising us with new activities that are not on the original program! 24 hours a day are not enough!
Shout out to the other side of the world! How is the future!? J We want to stay here in the past for a lot longer! Mahalo Hawaii, Raphael, Carleigh, Makena and Meredith! Goodnight, sleep tight and don’t let the bed bugs bite!
