Leaving San Diego LIII











It was our group's night to provide food for dinner. We had decided on a Hawaiian theme. We decided on Hawaiian because none of us wanted to prepare food. Having Dominoes deliver pizza sounded much nicer than slaving over a stove for many hours. How many large pizzas does it take to feed 51 people? Evidently, not 17. We had 7 pizzas too many. I wanted to make sure there would be enough, and there was. I parcelled some out to the teens to snack on in the middle of the night, which I think they appreciated. I made up a list of Hawaii fun-facts to ask during dinner. Ques. #1. Which state is the widest state, east/west, in the union? Ans. Hawaii. The seven Hawaiian islands are spaced wider apart than any other state. Ques. #2. Which state grows its own coffee? Ans. Hawaii again. No other state in the union has the climate for it. Ques. #3. How many letters are contained in the Hawaiian alphabet? Ans. 11. Every letter in the Hawaiian alphabet is used, unlike English with all the silent letters. Ques. #4. Which state has the tallest mountain, from bottom to top? Ans. Hawaii once again. The Hawaiian Islands are all sea-mountains, with the big island being over 27,000 feet tall. Ques. #5. Does it ever snow in Hawaii? Ans. If you did not answer "yes", you really are not paying attention...on the tops of the mountains.
