HONOLULU, HI<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Off to honolulu. \u00a0In spring quarter I shall embark on an adventure to Hawaii. I will be saying aloha here and aloha there. \u00a0When the opportunity came up that I would have the chance to travel to Honolulu in the Spring, \u00a0I sprang into action instantly. \u00a0I was immediately in contact with my friends Gabe, Missy and David who all \u00a0on the island to tell them that I might be stopping down their way in the Spring. \u00a0They \u00a0were more than happy to lend me a favor by letting stay with them in their home on the island. \u00a0I will begin my voyage in mid april and will be in Honolulu for about 10-14 days. \u00a0Because I have very little time on the island, Gabe agreed to show me around to places he knows are filled with music, sounds, culture, history and more. \u00a0Hopefully having a personal guide of the island will make my field studies a little more easier\/accessible.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I have never been to Hawaii. \u00a0All I really know about it is what I have seen in movies or heard from music. So seeing the beautiful land and water of honolulu that I have always enjoyed 2nd hand, now getting the chance to experience it all first hand is going to be an awesome time. \u00a0While I’m there I will be filming and recording my adventures on the island. \u00a0I\u2019m going to be walking through the hustle and bustle of the busy city streets, I\u2019ll strut along the beach picking up sounds of the waves crashing and the surfers and birds gathering in flocks along the water. \u00a0I will also be hiking around the forests observing the scenery and sounds of nature on the island. The abundance of wildlife in the forests there are a delight to listen to (so ive been told by my friends who live on honolulu).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n My expectations are kind of going off my preconceptions. \u00a0I dont really know what to expect exactly but I have a pretty good idea. \u00a0My goal when I get there is to get settled in at my friend gabes house and then hopefully start exploring ASAP. I\u2019m not there for very long so I need to try to get to as many places as possible in very little time. \u00a0I expect it may be difficult for me to get to all of the places I want to visit while i’m there, but I will definitely try to get as many as I can. I expect my expenses to be somewhat minimal. \u00a0I found cheap airfare to Honolulu at about $400 round trip. \u00a0I will be living with my friends at their home located just 3 miles from Chinatown and only a couple more miles from the beach. \u00a0I expect my longboard will be my main mode of transportation. \u00a0I will also have a bicycle there \u00a0can use and possibly a truck I can borrow to get to places that are farther away. \u00a0My food consumption will be at little cost. \u00a0The majority of my meals will be free, for I will be eating mostly at the house I’m staying at.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I’m anticipating this to be a great experience getting to learn more in depth about some of the sounds and culture Hawaii has to offer. \u00a0Like I said, I’ve only really gotten the 2nd hand version of what Hawaii is, so getting to go there for myself, I think, is going to be a big eye opener. \u00a0I really hope I get to see all the places I want to and film and record some of the architecture and landscape on the island. \u00a0Im hoping I will be able to use my friends truck to get the other parts of the island so i can hike and explore the terrain all around the area. \u00a0I want to learn how much surfing and the ocean really influence the music of Hawaii.

\nI am extremely excited to be taking this trip to honolulu, and am lucky enough to have such awesome friends there willing to help me out while i’m there. I also hope to possibly go to a concert or 2 while there. I know of a couple concerts that will be on the island while i’m there but i’m not sure if I will be able to make it. \u00a0My friends said they also know of some places where local bands play almost every night, so I will definitely be going to a \u00a0couple of those shows.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
