I'm Leavin' On a Jet Plane...

I am officially going to Hawaii. I didn't think this day would ever come until I was at least 50, but now at the ripe young age of 19, almost 20 I am going to Hawaii. I am going with my cousin Sarah, my sister Laura, my roommate Melodie, my almost roommate Monique, our friend Robby, our friend Brady, and two of Robby's friends. We will leave on Thursday, April 30 at about 9 a.m. to drive down to Phoenix. Then we will play there and then sleep at Robby's sister's house. Then we will wake up in the wee hour of probably 5 a.m., get ready and then head to the Phoenix airport to fly at 8 a.m. We are flying Hawaiian Airlines and the tickets were 300 dollars ROUNDTRIP. It's amazing how stinkin' cheap they are right now. I highly recommend you buying some tickets.

Then we will arrive in Hawaii at about noonish. Where we will get a rental car and check into our hotel. Then we will walk 200 yards from our hotel to Waikiki Beach! Which looks a little something like this...
We are going to go on some sort of great hike to a waterfall or something, we are going to go to the PCC. We are probably going to go to Pearl Harbor. We will go snorkeling, shopping at the international marketplace and then just lounge on the beach for the rest of the time. I am so excited I can't even stand it. How often am I going to get to go to Hawaii with my best friends? Not very often, I'll tell you that much.

If any of you have any inexpensive ideas of things we could do while we are down there, that would be fabulous!

It looks like you are excited. We are excited for you too. But, we agree with dad, a little tmi. Someone might want to rob you or something. But I guess it shows you are excited.
