Just 2 weeks away

Only two weeks until I will be in Honolulu. I have been thinking about what adventures and exploring I want to do during my spare time. I only have Saturday afternoon/evening and then evenings the rest of the week. Our schedule is very full with touring sites about Pearl Harbor, as well as classroom time. So my free time will be centered around culture, food, seeing the island, and any adventure I run into.

I need to put a list together of must see and do. I have been in contact with another teacher from Honolulu. We met in Japan. He has given me some good suggestions. Now I just need to see how I can make it all work. So much to do, so little free time!

Aloha
