So we got a little taste of paradise when we traveled to play the University of Hawaii this year. It was a sweet escape from the impending “dead week,” with finals right around the corner. We stayed on the Waikiki hotel strip and enjoyed some pretty incredible views from our balconies. Pallavi and I could see the elephants in the Honolulu zoo below our hotel!
Unfortunately, the weather was not favorable and we were unable to do much touring away from Waikiki. But we made the most of our stay and also got to spend some time inside studying, thanks to the rain. Before we left we saw some sunshine and a few of us got to get their “bronze on” while others enjoyed some time shopping.
Highlights for me (I think I speak for my teammates as well) included some really yummy food. Shave ice, crepes, yard-house pizza and salads…I definitely enjoyed all of the eating-out! Best of all we were invited to the home of our former teammate, Kim Hall, for a delicious home-cooked meal!!! It was great to catch up with her and her family again! I also took home a little piece of Hawaii…some Hawaiian cookie company shortbread cookies! They are my very favorite. And of course we came home with a win …overall I’d call it a successful trip.
