Wow! Haven't been here in a while...but I can see that someone was here npt too long ago! :) (satu) ;) I agree that we were kinda young...I've been thinking about that lately, and yeah...we were a group of young people in...not the easiest situation! :) but we had fun and ut's great to see how things turned out...that people still keep in touch almost 3 years later. :) And yeah...to Atle: (if you ever read this that is) HAVE FUN IN NEW ZELAND! (since it is kinda Hawaii connected) ;) Big hug to anyone who wants one! :D

No,Eveline, none of us is over HAWAII yet, it's still on our mind,part of us foreva=)And it was the best week of my exchangestudent year for real.I have 2 months left, and it's been 2 months since I came back from Hawaii. It still feels like yesterday.I love it here in cali,but the best people I met durin my year,were U ALL, in Hawaii.I miss and love u all, keep in touch, and remember HANG LOOSE FOR EVA!And remember,any of u is always wellcome to FINLANDIA, if I enjoy it there myself long enough to stay....I miss my homecountry but out of everything the thing u miss are the people, then the places,u know

Eveline		09-Apr-2004 19:43
Heey fellow hawaii-lovers! It seems like nobody leaves messages anymore on this page, which is good I guess. Everybody got their mind (finally) off hawaii and is enjoying their american lives again! So am I! I am loving it here and if I had a choice I'd rather get my family and friends over here, then the other way around! But anyway, I only have about 6 weeks left here and then it is time for me to say 'aloha' to Europe again, which is pretty cool too! I finally have the 'freedom' back I had to miss for an entire year!!! But my point is: Thanks to all of you for the best vacation ever, it could NOT have been more amazing and I am definetely planning on going back to Hawai'i some time, so if anybody would like to join me, you are more than welcome to! Gotta go, have lots of fun the last few weeks people! Eveline

Lisa Marlene Pietsch		08-Mar-2004 04:00

ALOHA, We're all back, hopefully, not that any of us really wanted to go back to our "home state" I think I speak on everyones behalf when I say it was a week we'll never forget. Can't wait until the parties we're having in Europe the following years!!! The people I met was awesome,(Finlandia, I love you)! Too bad everything has an end.... Thanks Explore America for having these student trips, ( Pete & Marie, I'll see you guys in NY)and thanks to all of the people, Ilove you all, until next time, HANG LOOSE

Aloha!! Oh my god, this was the best trip I've ever been on, you guys were the best! I would love to go on another Explore-America trip, but unfortunately, I cannot afford it. Hope you all survived coming back to your host families, even if the temperatures aren't very good. If you have time, stop by and sign my guestbook! http://home.no.net/abn10/index.php?side=gjestebok&action=sign Enjoy the rest of your stay, it's just 3-4 months left! -Anders =)

Hey you guys! It's really cool to hear that you all had just as great as a trip as I did! When I came home I immediately ran to Walgreens to get my pictures developed, I couldn't wait! haha. I slept for like 2 days straight when I arrived back in Arizona, guess I didn't have enough sleep in Paradise, but then again, who sleeps more than 5 hours in PARADISE?? Thanks to all of you I had so much fun, I just wish I got to know all of you better than I did now. you are all GREAT!! We should definetely have a reunion in Europe like next year, I heard something about that. Well, Gotta Go. Love You All! Eveline

This really was the greatest week of my life, and I will never forget it! You are all a bunch of truely awesome people! Always stick to your personality! And yeah, I'm all up for a reunion in Hawaii! Or another place! THat would be incredable!

Well, I want to thank all of you leaders for giving us so much freedom. That was REALLY great, because that is something I've missed since I came to America. And also, I just want to thank you for you being who you are, making anything and everything a blast for us!!! Mahalo Aloha from Elisabeth (One of the Many Norwegians!;)

Oh my god guys!I seriously spent the best week of my life!You guys made me laugh, you made me EVEN cry, you made me go to sleep at 3 and get up at 5 to sing the National Anthem (some of you might know this...)..I really miss hot weather, sexy guys and girls..funny jokes, singing, dancing,partying....and all the things we did. Even Cali feels boring after Hawaii.I know I'm lucky to be here...but gosh if I could live last week one more time (or two...) But I wanna enjoy my last 4 months. I hope you all can do the same. We'll meet up in Europe later=) Keep in touch you all, you're always on my mind=)

Chris		20-Feb-2004 21:13
Hawaii really is a magical place and watching you all enjoy yourselves was very rewarding. I hope you are all enjoying the memories from our great trip. I enjoyed meeting all of you. You were a awesome group. Mahalo (thanks) for touring the island as an Ohana (family). I hope you all keep the Aloha spirit with you forever. Hang loose & have fun during your stay here in the USA. Cousin Chris, Your Explore America Tour Manager

Adam		20-Feb-2004 18:28
Hey all, Hope you are all recovering from your sunburns!! I know that Aloe is my best friend!! I hope you all had a great trip. It was super fun learning how to hula with you guys, surf, play "jail ball," eat SPAM!, and all the other great things we got to do together. Hope to see you some of you guys on the Eastern Explorer. Otherwise, have a super year guys...Adam
