 Clothes –  3 long sleeve shirts, 2 bathing suits,  4 tank tops, 3 pairs of shorts, 2 pairs of long jeans.  I would also bring my goggles and camera and defiantly my squirt fan!! 

 I would expect a lot of mountains and volcanoes and bumpy grounds. I would expect beautiful beaches and hotels. And beautiful plants.

 Nice houses and a lot of pools, oceans and maybe lakes??!!! I  I think that there will be a few mountains and the big mountain with the word HOLLYWOOD on it!!

 For the plane ride I would buy 8 tickets 2 for me, 2 for my mom, 2 for my dad and 2 for my brother!!!! (But I probably would not pay for all of them by myself!!) When I wait on the plane to reach Hawaii I would read, play my DSI, play my itouch or watch a movie. When I would get there my parents would find a hotel to stay at. Then for the rest of my days there I will have fun!!! Then I am off to Calafornia!!!!! 

 I would like to go to LA because I would like to see what it looks like and what the beaches feel like. I would also like to see what kind of animals they have usually around them!! Not the kinds were you have to go far to see but to just to look around you!! I wonder what are the most popular pets there!!?? (Probably DOGS!!! Duhh. )
