Hawaii/ Ambassadors Ball

So we were only in Hawaii for a day, but it was still a lot of fun. I was just on the search for some American food, mainly Chipotle, but didn’t have any luck. That was kinda sad, but I did get some Subway, Starbucks, and some Mexican food (not as great as Santanas in San Diego but it did the job…haha). All day, I pretty much just walked around and hung out at the Beach in Waikiki. Oh and Ryan, Garrett and I also chilled with the homeless all day long. It was a little random but fun to hear all their stories and how they got to where they are today. One lady was talking to me about her ex-husband and how she was on her honeymoon in Hawaii with her husband and he found another woman on the island, and that other woman took her plane ticket with him back to the states. It was a pretty sad story, but she was optimistic about the future and kept saying how God has her here in paradise for a reason, whatever that may be. They all had some stories, and one guy was showing Ryan his nun chucks…haha…that was a little weird. Other than that, it was a fun time to just swim in the crystal blue ocean. Too bad it was such a short pit stop, because I wish we were there longer.

After Hawaii it is now hitting the books on the ship for our finals, but before that we had the Ambassadors Ball. It was fun to dress up, have a nice dinner with everyone on the ship and dance the night away. It was pretty fun, but now we have awhile until Costa Rica, and I have a lot of finals and papers due soon. I’ll write back soon and I hope that you are all doing great!
