HAWAII

Skole, skole, skole. Det er omtrent det eneste som har skjedd siden forrige gang. Eller, i dag fikk jeg underskrift av skolen på permission formen min som jeg trenger for å REISE TIL HAWAII!!! Jepp, that's right; I'm going to Hawaii!

21.mars - 28.mars skal jeg en uke til paradis med andre utvekslingsstudenter. For en herlig uke det kommer til å bli! Åhh, det blir så fantastisk. Programmet ser slik ut:

Day 1 Arrivals. Students are met at the airport baggage claim area and transferred to the hotel for check in. Its then time for your orientation walking tour, and some free time before our welcome diner.

Day 2 We begin our tour with a drive around the entire island of Oahu. We will view the only royal palace in the United States, visit various neighborhoods and learn about the history of the state. Traveling inland, we drive though the, pineapples fields on the way to the North Shore. Our first North Shore stop is Haleiwa, an old surf town. We view the massive surf waves at Pipeline Sunset and Bonzai Beaches, and swim with the tropical fish on in Turtle Bay, where we play volleyball and have a picnic lunch. We finish the tour in the afternoon with visit to Pali Look out for views over the island. Then it’s back to the hotel to clean up before dinner.

Day 3 we visit Pearl Harbor for a tour of the U.S.S. Arizona National Monument, where we will learn about Hawaii's involvement in WWII then hit the beach right in front of our hotel. We will have time to play in the surf and try boogie boarding, or hang out at the hotel pool, or enjoy a soccer game and the park.

Day 4 We will head out to for a morning of snorkeling. We provide a rented snorkel and mask to swim with the colorful reef fish in a protected cove. This afternoon it’s off to Ala Moana shopping center for a shopping stop, and dinner at Bubba Gump Shrimp Company.

Day 5 We will board a Catamaran for an exciting sailing trip around Waikiki Bay. In the afternoon we go swimming in the ocean and playing volleyball. The adventurous can try their hand at surfing with a rental board not included in tour) and dazzle the group with their surfing abilities!

Day 6 We hike up Diamond Head, an extinct volcanic crater with awesome views over Waikiki bay. In the late afternoon we will celebrate with the locals at the Paradise Cove Luau, complete with grass skirts and hula dancing.

Day 7. We’ll explore some other parts of the island learning about some of the cultures that have contributed to Hawaiian food and culture. Tonight is our big farewell party.

Day 8. Students leave through the day, some students leaving early in the morning, and others not departing until the evening. We will take you to the airport 2-3 hours before your flight time. After breakfast it’s time for your last shopping trip, and a final wave goodbye to the warm Pacific waters.

Gleder meg helt utrolig masse, det blir helt sikkert ett minne for livet! :D

Så 21.mars befinner jeg meg her:

Frister det? ;P
