From Mrs. Tonia Kushin, lead teacher from St. Paul Island School in Alaska
We are now in Honolulu (city), Oahu (island), Hawaii (state). As we neared landing we were all leaning toward the airplane windows hoping the flightattendant wouldn't notice and watched the Islands come into view. SoCool! Some seemed similar to home, but a few features stood out: Many,many more buildings on the island, one island we flew over even had buildings built inside a volcanic crater. Lots of large ships were seen too, that was impressive. Once we touched down and deplaned, the first impressions from the kids were so cute!
OMG, it's hot, I'm getting sweaty, It's so green, That's the tower from the internet! (airport
control tower).
After getting the van rentals, we made it to the hotel with only minor directional issues. There are SO many people, there must have been more people walking through the streets than even live in Anchorage!
By the time we were all checked in, the pool was closed for the night, so we headed to the hotel's restaurant: Jimmy Buffet's and got to hear some live music. Some of the girls finally even got up the nerve to head up to the dance floor!
Tomorrows activities include: the Fish Market/ Auction, visits to the Hawaiian Islands Marine Biology Institute and Waikiki Aquarium, and some swimming time before bed.
