Questions

As I have been thinking about Hawaii and what I already know about it, which is not much.  I have come up with a list of questions that I would like to find the answers to.  The questions that I have come up with so far are:
  • Do they speak any other languages besides Hawaiian?
  • What is the climate like?
  • When is the best time or season to travel to Hawaii?
  • What is the exchange rate?
  • What are some places to visit?
  • What kinds of natural disasters occur in Hawaii?
  • When do the natural disasters usually occur?
  • What is the main type of transportation?
  • What kinds of activities do people do in Hawaii?
  • What movies and TV shows are filmed in or around Hawaii?
  • Where is the best place to stay?
  • What is the cost of living in Hawaii?
  • What is the educational system like?
  • Do they have a year around school?
  • What is the main religion?

Introduction

Some ideas that I was thinking of for my blog are:
  • Scrapbooking
  • Baby-sitting
  • Argentina
  • Hawaii
  • Traveling oversees
I chose Hawaii  because I have always wanted to go to Hawaii and to see the sites.  I have seen pictures, watched movies and heard stories and from friends and family who have been to Hawaii.  It sounds like a nice place to visit.  There also seems like a lot of things to see like different landmarks like the Arizona Memorial, several different islands and volcanoes and many other adventures.

I thought about scrapbooking because I like to create different books about places that i have been to and about different people.  Its fun to put my own creative spin when I make the books and there is never a right or a wrong way to make them.

Baby-sitting I have always enjoyed being around and watching young kids.  They are fun to be around because they are always having fun and are entertaining.  I baby-sat for kids in my church and neighborhood all through high school and during the summers when I was in college.  That is why I want to work in a public in the children's department because I have always had a passion for young children.

Argentina - I went to  Argentina for a missions trip when I was in college and that was my first time ever being oversees.  I enjoyed seeing other cultures and seeing how others lived.  I have wanted to go back to visit my friends that made their and to see the different sites.

Traveling oversees - I have always thought about traveling to different counties around the world.  I thought that it would be fun to take a few months that just spend that time in different countries.  I would like to go to several countries in Europe as well as several others.

When I look back at my different choices, Hawaii kept coming back as the one that i thought i would enjoy doing it the most.
