#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

Oahu - Days 0 and 1

Day 0 - getting to Hawaii

3 AM wake-up call...4 AM at the airport.  This is the 4 AM crew...Jia, Ishita and myself.


Layover in San Francisco = yummy sourdough sandwich for breakfast. 


On to Honolulu! Why do I get up so early in the morning to get to Hawaii... so I can spend some time at the beach! 


Orientation with the North Lake College Summer Hawaiian Field Studies on Waikiki beach. 


Dinner at Gyu-Kaku. I had cake...


Day 1 - Oahu - Pali Lookout, Coconut Island, Hanauma Bay, and Sunset Workshop


We got to do a new activity with the Coconut island Research group. We actually got dropped off in Kanahoe Bay to go snorkeling.  A lot of pretty corals, fish, and sea turtles!


Tour of the research facility on Coconut Island, watched the sharks be fed, and then back to Oahu! No snorkeling at Hanauma Bay, but we did go and learn about the geology.




Sunset Workshop on Waikiki beach! There were a lot of thick clouds, so it was not as beautiful as it has been in the past.




After the Sunset Workshop, the staff went to eat at the Shorebirds Restaurant. Someone that worked there said that they were going to tear it down and build something new.  So sad. Loved eating there.  Great salad bar and it is fun to cook your own food.
