[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! :)
