"Oahu, Hawaii" AKA "Ha-va-eee"

        [sigh*] what can I say about Hawaii? it is Heaven on earth.This was my very first "Travel Experience" we did so much here as well, we climbed a crater, visited pearl harbor, enjoyed an authentic Hawaiian luau, and had the great privilege to experience different Polynesian cultures at the ''Polynesian Culture Center.This is another place I would love to return to.The Brotherly atmosphere is heart warming and makes you feel like your part of this Huge family!. Amongst the atmosphere there is of course the beauty of the island itself.
Pearl Harbor will be the most memorable places I've been to. The history and energy surrounding that place is so powerful. As soon as you touch ground there you can feel the pride,the hurt and the immense remembrance of this place.In school growing up, history class was never really relevant to me, simply because I didn't care. I had that "the past is the past" mentality until now that I'm grown it means so much more to me then I'd thought. all I could think the whole time was "I was there, I stood in a specific area where people literally fought, killed,died and saved lives for our country".I couldn't get over the fact that I felt like I was in the presence of heroes, many of them...its definitely a highly spiritual experience.

On a lighter note, we also Got to climb "Diamond Head" Crater! that was the most physically excruciating Things I've ever done. Definitely a once in a lifetime experience [phew]. its somthing you do just to say you did it! :)

"Animal Kindom 2010"

           My Most Favorite place on earth!!! I love the majestic feel of this place. Everything about it screams LIFE!!. the nature, the fact that there are more real animals then nonsense, pointless animatronics and most of all the fact that this park captures the beauty of some of the world most gorgeous countries. we had a blast! there was so much to do that there was no way we could cover everything in one day. there was a wonderful entry way that makes you feel like your in a zoo.we got to see the "Lion King" Performance as well, that in itself was beautiful,(brought tears to my eyes).

               we also went on the MOST exciting roller coaster EVER "Expedition Everest". its amazing. it goes super fast and throughout the whole ride your on a mission to look for the "Yetti",when all of a sudden you come to a broken track and your like :o gasp* and out of nowhere the ride goes backwards!. I absolutely LOVED this ride my all time favoriate so far!

          Moreover the "Kilimanjaro Safari" was just as amazing as everything else! it was so much more exciting then the "Jungle Cruise" at Disneyland, simply because it includes ACTUAL animals. I have never been on a real safari and this by far coverd that expirience. The animals, the scenery and the beauty of african culture all in one thrilling ride. we seen lions,giraffes,elephants,zebras etc. Everything you can think to be expected in a safari. another great reason to visit this wonderful, enchanted park.

"Around the World in 50 years"

          My Goal is to cover as much ground on this earth as possible before I meet my maker.
I love the idea of Traveling. I love the idea of seeing life outside the box, outside the norm. experience culture I've never even heard of and those of which I grew up learning about. To walk on cobble stone ground instead of concrete roads. To be in historic presence. To fall in love in an actual fairytale-esque land such as Ireland or Europe or the beauty of the french country side.

          I have dreams of making a difference in a complete strangers life. I love the feeling you get when you help someone in need and they're so grateful and appreciative, its unbelievable, words just can not describe it. I believe that karma is proof of gods presence. what you put into this life is what you get out of it. therefor as i continue to give, I will continue to pray for blessings that include the privilege of travel and health to help others.
