I'M GOING TO HAWAII TOMORROW MORNING!!!!!
This is weird...Like, really weird.
We found out about this trip almost exactly a year ago, and we're leaving to go on it tomorrow.
Time has gone by fast. Really fast.
I remember hearing about this. I was home sick, lying on my couch when I saw postings on Facebook about it. I couldn't believe it.
I'd already gotten my "big trip" the previous year with the Rose Parade, so I wasn't expecting anything like this to happen again. But it did...and it must mean that it was meant to happen. 'Cause something like this doesn't happen every year. Rose Bowl happens every year. A big memorial doesn't happen every year. Especially when there are so few survivors left from Pearl Harbor. We actually found out this week that one of the first casualties from the USS Arizona graduated from my high school. That's kind of a big deal. We also had our schedule changed (several times, but that's a different story). Originally, we were slated to perform near the USS Missouri, which has much sentimental value to our area. Now, however, we are slated to perform AT THE USS ARIZONA MEMORIAL.
Holy $&*@.
That's, like, the site of the attack, where thousands of people lost their lives, that was the deciding factor in the United State's involvement in the war.
Oh, man...
I am excited to do all of the fun, touristy stuff, too, though. I mean...you go to Hawaii to do those things, right? Visit the memorial, hang out on the beach, tour the island(s), get a nice tan...
Who wouldn't want to go to paradise?
I'll see you guys in a week. : )
HOURS 'til Hawaii: less than 12
