Reflections by Matt

Parents and kids if you read this, I say, you should definitely at least think of going on this spectacular trip, and to take pictures of everything. This was an awesome spring break; I’m sad it only was for spring break, though, and could not have been longer. Although I have been to more countries than most of the people in the world, thanks to my parents who were sad they never got to travel, I found this was probably the most interesting trip I have been on, interesting because my best trips were visiting most of my dad’s side of the family who live in California, and/or my trips cruising on the big island at the Four Seasons resort. This trip was also the most interesting to me because it was very unique/different than every other, with experiences that most people don’t experience. One such experience that only a few of us tried was grass skiing at the Mango Park, with the burning sun directly above us, definitely not below freezing temperatures. I was horrible at this since now I snowboard, and the last time I skied was probably 4 or 5 years ago. It was not like skiing on snow because I’m pretty sure on snow you can go much, much faster, because of the slant, and already skied or snowboarded on snow is slippery, which also contributes to the reason why getting up is much harder. Grass skiing is better than skiing on snow, but because of the temperature real skiing is the winner. If I could do this again I probably would, but next time I would wear shorts instead of jeans. So, I would definitely go on this trip again if I could.
