Day Seven Last Day

March 11, 2007, Sunday

Oh 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 with the waves and boogied on Kai’s, a teacher’s son, boogie board. The sun was shining hard and the waves were strong. If we weren’t in the water, the group was making sand sculptures. Well, actually, the students buried Wayne in the sand. In addition, we sculpted Wayne into a mermaid in the sand. However, our backs were burning in the bright sun. Sadly, our skin was sun burned.

Later in the afternoon, we drove to a beach resort where we could go snorkeling. Here, we saw another sea turtle (Picture courtesy from Walker) slowly swimming in the shallow water. Everyone at the beach immediately gathered around the sea turtle and took pictures of it. They are sure loved and respected by the tourists.

Before heading to the airport, the group went to a small market. We were able to do our final shopping for Hawaiian souvenirs. The day darkened and we said our farewells to Alan and his family. When we finally were on the airplane, we all just fell into a deep slumber. With sunburn all over our bodies, we weren’t ready to say this to Hawaii, but it was time to do it. Aloha Hawaii!
