Hawaii

            The place that I went for the first time that I thought was incredible and completely loved was Honolulu, Hawaii over my summer of 2013. We stayed at a very nice Hotel that I forgot the name off, but just the overall experience of being in Honolulu was incredible. I went there for a soccer tournament with my team. My club soccer team’s name was Santa Clara Sporting and we were there for Far West Reginals, which is a very though tournament that many good teams across the Western United States compete in. The part where we stayed at had many tourists from all over the world.  Since our hotel was right by the beach, we met people from Europe and a lot of other places. We also visited many cool spots while in Hawaii. Some places that we went were Diamond Head, which is a huge creator that you could clime and we also went to the North Shore which is a very nice beach. We mainly played soccer when we were there due to the fact that we were there for a tournament. We had a game everyday and usually had to recover during the afternoons. We did see many street performers while walking down the street and amazing beaches that I feel could not be topped. I would definitely go back in a heart beat because everything about Honolulu was amazing and I enjoyed a lot. The weather id very nice, The beaches are great, and all the people were very friendly and made you feel comfortable and welcome. If I had a free ticket to go anywhere in the world, I would choose Spain. Spain because it is somewhere that I’ve always dreamed of going and my favorite soccer team is from there.
