Hi,
It has finally arrived. The eve before my mate and I fly to Hawaii for a 10 day teacher professional development. We leave tomorrow night from Sydney and arrive Friday lunchtime in Honolulu where we have the afternon to ourselves after an initial tour. Surfing at the main beach is on the menu. We tour the volcano national park and a few other places before commencing the two day course on teaching and engaging students in the field of astronomy and cosmology.
On Wednesday we head up Mauna Kea to 14000 ft for a tour of the Gemini North Observatory before heading back down for an evening of viewing at a telescope observing area.
A few more day touring and then back to Australia and into the classroom.
