Well, it is finally time! After 3 months of waiting, and anticipating, the day has come for me to pack my things, and set off for the island of Oahu in Hawaii. Got tickets real cheap through a deal with United Airlines, and will be flying out of Jacksonville, Florida. The layovers will consist of: Washington, D.C., and San Francisco, California, so at least the plane ride won’t be that bad. I look forward to sharing my experiences with you by updated blog posts about every day I am over on the North Shore. I also hope to fill you all in on what is going on at the Pipe Masters surfing contest, and all other events in general! The place I will be staying in is called “Backpackers Hawaii,” which is managed by my uncle, and is located on Waimea Point between Waimea Bay, and Three Tables Beach. Hope for a safe trip, and plenty of great times!
