On November 7 at 4:40 am, I was awakened by a high-pitched sound coming from my phone. Being half-awake, I was wondering why it had gone off, but then I remembered the learning journey to Oahu that day. Between 4:40 and 4:50 am, I smacked my phone onto snooze mode twice.
The next thing I knew, I was arriving at my classmate's house in a grumpy mood. I wanted to curl up in a ball while snuggling my pillow until I fell back asleep. All I wanted to do was awaken to the sun and not the darkness of the morning. By 5:30 am, the boys had all piled into Mrs. Hill's ruby-red Volvo. At 6:25 we all unloaded from the car and made our way to check-in, then to TSA. We waited an hour in the airport for our flight. When we arrived in Honolulu we were greeted by the sixth-grade teacher of Holy Nativity School. She picked us up in a U-haul van she had rented. The next thing I knew, we were at her lovely school.
We presented our curriculum for about three hours before leaving on a tour of her lovely island. We saw many beautiful sights. After sight-seeing, she took us back to the airport. On the flight back, I slept the entire time. Even though we could have presented some of the material over Skype, I am glad I had this experience.
