Monday January 26

This week will be kind of a sprint. Every day we will be correcting something, watching a short video, and getting a new assignment. The amount of time you have to work on the assignment will be determined by how quickly we get through the first two things.

Monday, January 5

Sorry for not posting yesterday. Basically all we did was watch the Vikings game. Which didn't turn out to well. The girls went shopping while the boys stayed at home and watched the game.

On Monday we did go to the beach on base. It was about 80 with a little wind and few clouds so it was about perfect. We got to see a submarine as it left Pearl Harbor which was kind of neat. Our plane leaves tonight at 10 o'clock Hawaii time so about 2 a.m. in Crookston. We will be going through Los Angeles and Denver on our way to Fargo. We are scheduled to land about noon central time.

Saturday January 3

We went to the beach today. First to Waikiki. And then to the North Shore. Unfortunately the wind was blowing pretty hard so even though it was at least 75 degrees the windchill made it seem like it was closer to 60. In the afternoon we drove up to the north shore where the surfing is probably the best on the Island. There were waves breaking at about 8-10 feet.

Friday December 2nd

We went hiking today. I climbed to mountains and got some great pictures. We climbed Diamond Head Crater which is the crater of an old volcano that helped form Oahu. We also climbed Maka Pua. Both of them were old Military Installations so there were gun remnants and also pillboxes where the U.S. was planning on defending the Islands from invasion.

Tonight Kari and I along with Kari's sister and her husband are going to go downtown to see Waikiki at night.

Today we went for a trip around the Island. We got to see many mountains and scenic views. We also went to Waikiki Beach. You would not believe the number of people on the beach. It is also amazing to see the hotels, and stores there, very high end. And less than a block away you have homeless people and very poor neighborhoods.

Tomorrow we are going on a couple of hikes. Up Diamond Head which is a volcanic crater. And one up to a lighthouse. You can see the lighthouse in one of the photos from today.
