Hawaii February 2005

A fantastic week in sunny Oahu - meeting new friends, swimming, surfing, snorkeling, catamaran riding, hiking and eating lots of kaukau. Learning to hula, cheering on our very special award winning hula expert Passionate Pink Princess Coconuts, and - oh yeah - did I mention meeting lots of new friends? That is what it's all about! What a super group got together to share all these adventures and to "Just Hang Loose'! Mahalo for making it so much fun for all of us! Please share a comment below! The photos will all be up in a day or two! These are just the beginning! ALO---HA!

hello everybody, here Karen from Belgium. I wanted to let you all know how much I enjoyed H.A.W.A.I.I. I wish I could of stayed there forever with all of you guys. I met so many great people from all over the world and it makes me realize how little I've seen of the world. I'm going down hill now because my school is nothing compared to that one week, it was (so far) the best week of my life. I will never forget this trip and it would be very unlikely for me to forget the people that were on it. Utill we meet again,friends. Fwiedels en Mahalo, Karen. ;-)

Susan Bolton		28-Feb-2005 07:08
Hi Gang! Mahalo for a great week. Each of you were a joy and pleasure to get to know. I only wish we had more time. A week in paradise is never long enough! Hope you all have a great rest of your stay here in the U.S. and that your experience here, more particularly Hawaii, will hold beautiful and meaningful memories that last a lifetime. You are all very special people. Remember, keep the Aloha alive! XOXOXOX Susan

That's a theory of relativity in pratical application.... Put a hand on the hot pan and seconds are hours... Or go to Hawaii and days are like seconds...

Helena		25-Feb-2005 02:45
Aloha everyone! The week was awesome and I want to thank you all because it wouldn't have been so much fun without you! Unfortunately, the week passed by so fast and I wish we could stay 4 more weeks. I don't want to be back and go to school etc. But I think everybody feels about the same, right? I think this was and will be the best week of my whole year! Helena

Don Adams		24-Feb-2005 03:43
Hey you all! How fast can a week go by? How many memories can you cram into that week? I think we may have set a record in both categories! I had so much fun with all of you really enjoyed every minute! It is so much fun to do these tours with friends as cool as you guys were. I hope that I will be able to stay in touch with all of you. Keep checking back and the photos will be up soon. Meanwhile please leave a comment here! Mahalo for making the trip so much fun for everyone!
