Memories of Spring Break
Ayano Nakazaki

I will talk about the memories of Spring Break. I took the tour to go to Big Island with some friends. In conclusion, it was just amazing. I really had great time there. First day, I was so excited to take the Hawaiian Airline. It was my first time to take that airline and it was one of my dream so I was so impressed. After we arrived the big island, we had free time so we decided to go to the beach after we had squid burger for lunch. I felt a bit difference from Waikiki beach. I had great time at the beach even I could not swim well.
After that, we got into the spa which was at the hotel. It was really warm and like an Onsen. I wanted to be there forever. We took island trip second day which took us around the whole island in one day. It took us many places such as Rainbow falls, Thomas A. Jaggar Museum, Black sand beach, Punalu'u, and coffee shop.
The best part of the island trip was Macadamia Nut Company. Macadamia is my favorite nut and they had many samples so I was so happy. Last day was kind of hard day but it was the best part of this trip. We had to get up at 1 a.m. to join the Star and Sunrise Tour.
Most of us were sleeping on the way to get top of the mountain. But we got surprised and impressed with beautiful stars after we got off the bus. I have never seen so many stars and shooting stars before. Furthermore, we saw the beautiful sunrise from top of the Mauna Kea. We were freezing but we did not even feel it because the sunrise was beautiful. It was kind of interesting that it was so cold even in Hawaii. As I mentioned above, this three days were just amazing and I am happy to get the chance to go there. I will never forget about this experience.
