Day 1-Mallory

Hey guys!
So after that long plane ride I think everyone was happy to
sit on the beach today in the nice 80 degree weather. The
sand was so nice and the water was great. But then we all
took that failed trip to go jet skiing which didn't work out
at all. But when we got back some of us decided to walk down
the strip of shops and we ran into this really cool local
named Ronnie. He gave us free fish made out of palms and
then he made me this really cool anklet out of rope which he
melted together and said that it won come off ever unless I
cut it off. He also told us that he is originally from rhode
island but goes to school here for engineering. And he told
us that coconut trees are the most prizes thing on the
island because you can do so much with them and that's why
they use to make thier houses out of them. And that the
holes in the trees are from spikes becuase every couple of
weeks they have to climb and cut down the coconuts becuase
if they fall on someone they can kill them! Then he showed
us how he climbs the tree to get the palms! Ronnie was
really fun and I know I'm having a great time here already!
And I hope everyone else is! Well I can't wait for this boat
trip tomorrow. See you guys later. Mallory

Hi Everyone,

I was with Mallory when we meet Ronnie. After the chat with him, we went to this site called International Market Place. We have been looking for Hawaii’s famous pineapples and fruits all over, and this venue inside the market, called Hawaiian Naturals carried all the fruits we can imagine. They sold the fruits fresh or you can have the fruits blended in to a tropical smoothie. Brittany had mango and pineapple smoothie put into a huge coconut. It had to be at least 5 lbs to carry but it’s was so good. Also this is the best place to get little souvenirs like shot glass and key chains for really cheap. As we all know Hawaii is very expensive and it’s hard to find cheap deals here.
