Yesterday was a sad day because we knew it was our last one for now, but we were also excited about checking out another beach at the Northern side of the island and visiting the Polynesian Cultural Center. We loaded our charterbus at 9:00 am and drove for about an hour or so, to a beach called Kailua. Unfortunetly, the wind was very strong, at least for us who just wanted to tan and relax. It was to windy to go kayaking as well, so after a while we headed back to Waikiki which was less windy and hung out there, doing last minute shopping and such. It was really hot and I sure did enjoy another day at the beach, it's going to be a while until next time!
At 4:00 pm we departed for the Polynesian Cultural Center, that was during the afternoon rush, so it took us an hour and a half to get back to the North Shore. The PCC is a park with small "villages" from the Polynesian islands: Tahiti, Samoa, Hawaii, Fiji, New Zealand and Tonga. It was kind of cool, and the Horizon Night Show was pretty amazing, lots of dancing and torches and shaking of "tha booty"! 
Today is our departure day, and some students have left already. Personally, this has been a great week, maybe the best in the U.S. I had so much fun doing all the activities and meeting these new, amazing fellow students. My favorite activities were Diamond Head Trail, snorkeling at Hanauma Bay and hanging out at Waikiki. I met this awesome girl from Germany/Missouri, my roommate, Milena. We just got along like we had known each other forever, and I'm sure going to miss her. This trip was fantastic and I am so glad I decided to go.
Thank you Belo for letting me have such a fabolous experience and finding my future call: Moving to Hawaii and selling pineapples!
