On our first day together, we met up at the airport. I didn't know most of the group, so I met everyone and started to get to know them. We spent our flight talking, reading, and playing games, getting to know one another as best we could. Flying over the islands was very cool. They looked very pretty from the air, and I couldn't wait to get into that water.
We arrived at our lodgings, a nice house at a camp in the mountains of Oahu. Not long after settling in, we donned our bathing costumes and headed out. We had dinner at a Hawaiian BBQ place, and soon after had our first shot at the beach. We swam around, bodysurfed some waves and altogether had a grand old time. It was great fun and was a good bonding experience.
This day was really good for me especially, because I went into this trip only knowing a few people. Between the time spent waiting around at the airport, dinner as a group, and the beach at sunset, we had a very good day, and I had a lot of time to get to know the other group members. I look forward to learning more about these people and connecting with them more, building a community during this upcoming week.
