Arrival to Hawaii
Hello family and friends, I left home happy and healthy and ready to start my adventure with the Peace Corps. I am using a public computer at the Sheraton Princess Kauiluani. ALOHA!!! and Mahalo (thank you) for all the love and support as I begin this adventure. Getting here was fun and I met an Elon University alumni who is living here in Hawaii. He told me what to do and see. I had a little Sushi to transition into a Pacific diet however I had some pancakes this morning which were very good. I woke up to the protesting in front of the Hyatt, the workers aren't on contract and have been protesting all morning. I woke up at around 5 and saw the protests and out in the distance I saw a group of surfers hitting the waves, however the waves didn't look that big, similar to jones beach for now. I start staging at 1230. I had a tough time finding some toothpaste in my luggage and I didn't want to unpack and repack things so i got a little tube and am all set. Hawaii is very beautiful but the area I am in is very affluent. It is a combination of NYC chic and Barcelona, las Ramblas, street performers and mimes as well as the beaches from Ibiza. Its a beautiful combination but the best and worst of all the worlds. I am gonna try and stay out of the sun and safe the swimming for the Pacific. I love you all and hope to hear from you via post cards, emails, and everything in between.
