March 11, 2007, SundayOh no! I can’t believe it is our last day in Hawaii! We never expected it to go by so quickly. One minute ago, we were just getting off the airplane. Next thing you notice, you’re heading for the airport.On our last day, we tried our best to absorb as much Hawaii as we could. With that, we went to Hapuna Beach to relax on our day seven. Over at the sandy beach, we hanged out

March 10, 2007, SaturdayWhoa! I still feel a bit sore from the midnight hike at Volcano National Park. Anyways, today, we went on hikes that were far way easier compared to yesterday. First, we walked on a boardwalk into the sulfur banks. The smoke crept through the yellow holes to stench the clear air. Now, if you don’t know what sulfur smells like, it smells like rotten eggs. Not a pleasant

March 9, 2007, FridayBack in Whittier, our most famous waterfall is the Horsetail Falls. Here in Hawaii, we visited the Akaka Falls. It seemed like it was twice as tall as Horsetail Falls back at home. At the bottom, there was actually a large cloud of mist floating about. At the viewing spot, the group used the ASOF probes to analyze the area’s conditions. The more practice we get, the better we

March 8, 2007, ThursdayMost likely, if you live in the outdoors (or Alaska), you would probably think camping is living the outdoors with a sleeping bag and a tent. For us in Hawaii, it’s a whole different idea. Instead of sleeping in a tent, we slept in a cabin at Pu’u Wa’a Wa’a. There’s running water, kitchen, nice porch, and it’s two stories high.At once in the morning, our ASOF group and the

March 7, 2007, WednesdayToday was quite different from our Hawaiian experiences. Instead of mostly working outside, we worked inside. We worked in a classroom that Bill works at, which is Hawaii Preparatory Academy (HPA). The high school campus was enormous! They had an inside gym complex, football field, baseball field, soccer field, performance arts center, several dorm buildings, and

March 6, 2007, TuesdayWe are so glad we finally got some rest last night at the Kamuela Inn. Being in Hawaii is a little bit stressful, but we always try to find some fun time. Before the whole group left for the beach, we made a stop at the Natural Energy Laboratory of Hawaii Authority (NELHA). At NELHA, we toured around the facility and received a brief history of their technology. The

March 5, 2007, MondayWow! Yesterday and today were busy days. Last night, we arrived in Hawaii late. Then we checked in King Kamehameha’s Kona Beach Hotel. Today, we had a very early start because the whole group needed to meet the scientists that we were working with. After meeting up with the scientists at 9:00 am, we continued to make our way to the Mauna Loa Facility. With a little help from

March 4, 2007, SundayBefore we took off from the ground, the towbar broke! The officials were afraid the plane was damaged because of the incident. Inspectors checked for any damage to the airplane. Fortunately, the plane was not harmed, but the flight was delayed for one and a half hours long. For the passengers, we had to stay buckled in the airplane. Sadly, we had to endure the pain of waiting

Hey, we’re back with more info about our science experiment. We will be testing the carbon dioxide and pH levels as well as water temperature in Whittier during the different seasons (from now until summer) to see how the businesses are affecting our environment. Once a week, we will take samples from seven different areas in Whittier in order to see how the climate change is distributed
