MAHALO, HAWAII.....BTB 2010 LOVES YOU!

Aloha, we finally made it to Hawaii!!!  The tour has been looking forward to these 2 weeks since winter! Not many tours get to go to Hawaii and there is a lot involved with shipping the sets, props, costumes, etc. so we are so grateful to have this opportunity.

On our first night there, we met Dakota, who joined the cast as Chip, and his mom, Traci.  Dakota and I have so much in common, we became fast friends!  We were inseparable for the whole two weeks.

We got to see and experience so many awesome things while we were in Hawaii.  We stayed in Honolulu, which is on the island of Oahu. NETworks treated all of us to an amazing sunset catamaran cruise around Waikiki.  We all got fresh leis and had a terrific time. We also took field trips to Pearl Harbor, the Dole Plantation, and the Polynesian Cultural Center.  We snorkeled, swam, surfed, went fishing and boogey boarding at several different beaches. We also saw a bunch of sites as we drove around the island on our Golden Day. I LOVED surfing.  It was my favorite activity we did.

Our shows were sold out almost every night and the audiences were FANTASTIC!  They really loved the show.  Also, our local crew guys at the theatre were so amazing!  The had a potluck dinner for us one night and a few of the guys took a few of the cast fishing twice.  We all caught tons of fish and had so much fun.

Our time in beautiful Hawaii is something I will never forget!  Mahalo, Hawaii, for 2 wonderful weeks =)

Stay tuned....ONLY THREE MORE CITIES LEFT! Next up, San Antonio, Texas!
