Hawaii
As our plane started to descend, I began to see the beauty of this tropical island. The first view I saw was the flowing clear water below me. A few hundred more feet closer to the ground, the island of Oahu became more distinct. Palm trees appeared to surround the airport. I finally made it to possibly the most envied island in the world.

This first day we were off to Hanauma Bay to go snorkeling and explore the exotic fish that lived in this coral reef. The following morning I woke up and ventured out on the balcony took a deep breath and smelled nothing but the refreshing scent of flowers and fresh fruit. There was a list of names on a carved stone wall representing the soldiers who lost their lives in the tragic event.
