My Hawaii Trip

Dec. 31
The weather wasn't that good in my state and I lay on my bed hoping that Hawaii would have better weather in store for us. About 30 minutes before we left for the airport, I started sleeping. When we reached the airport, I couldn't wait to get to Hawaii. My favorite part would always be to see the hotel. You might say that all the hotels would look pretty much the same. But that's wrong. They look pretty much... different! Anyway, once we got off the airplane that was bound to Kauai from Honolulu, we went to our car rental, picked up our car, and then, headed home, I mean to our hotel (but basically, a hotel is a vacation home). The next day, we began our first day of Kauai. That day, we went to a temple, watched Opaeka Falls, and went for a small hike for about 10 minutes then returned to our hotel. The next day we didn't do much and after that, we went on a tour (by ourselves) around our hotel. We did notice people left by 5:00 from everywhere they were. We did not know why this was until rain poured down on us. We came back to our hotel, drenched since we had walked. The next day we went to Hawaii and explored the whereabouts of everything. We also went on a submarine tour that day, before we returned to our hotel. Our last full day we had, was spent on swimming in the ocean and walking on a trail. Unexpectedly, the trail led us to a temple built by the famous king of Hawaii named King Kamehameha. It was believed that if the king built a temple and sacrificed anybody, he would be protected from one of the coming-up wars. He decided he would sacrifice his cousin, who was also his rival. We were also surprised at the size of tools and weapons they had. They must have been very tall. Their longest spear was 16 ft (192 inches) long! Once we explored the trail, we went back to our hotel. The next day was, "Airport Day," literally. We arrived home late at night. Once we came home we collapsed onto our beds. Bye!
