My Hawaiian Field Studies Experience: Day 1

#HFS2018

I started this Blog when I first started working with the North Lake College Summer Hawaiian Field Studies course. I knew that in 2 weeks, I would learn so much and I needed a place to document it. I was right. I went back through my pictures when I got home and thought, "Did we stop here? I don't remember this!". So I went back to my Blog and was reminded of that moment. So many great moments, so many great stories...here is where I document them. Please read, enjoy, send me questions, comments, etc.

I will be streaming live using Periscope on my Twitter Page. Follow me @Laronna_D on Twitter and @ldoggett on Instagram

Day 1 - The Flight and Waikiki!

Well, the day began at 3:00 AM. My loving husband was nice enough to get up and take me to the airport at that awful time! The flight left DFW at about 6 AM. But!!! That means that we got to Hawaii at about 11:30 Hawaii time. So, what did I do when I got here. Orientation with the students first and then off to the International market place for yummy Hawaiian Tacos. I had them last year and I have been dreaming of them every since. What makes them "Hawaiian" you ask. Well, you get some pineapple sauce to go with it. Funny knowing that pineapples are not naturally found in Hawaii. Then it was back to the hotel to change and then to the beach!! The beach and water are so nice here. We are waiting for group 2 to arrive. They should be here in a couple if hours. Then the real orientation followed by SLEEP!!

Me at 3 AM. Not pretty!
