Hawaii

In 2005, we offered teachers the opportunity to submit a Teacher's Guide for one of our new programs (The Price System). The teacher who submitted the best guide was awarded a trip to Hawaii.

Andy Jobson from Riverside Military Academy in Gainesville, GA submitted the best guide and took the trip to Hawaii with his wife in the summer of 2006. Here is what he wrote to us upon his return:

Photo of Hawaii Trip"My wife and I recently had the opportunity of a lifetime to visit one of the most beautiful places on earth, Kauai, Hawaii.  We enjoyed so many parts of our visit:  the history, the lush scenery, the fresh fruit and local treats (like shave ice).  We were amazed at the diversity on such a small island, too, from the sandy beaches to the steep cliffs, and the reds and oranges of the Waimea Canyon (the "Grand Canyon of the Pacific," Mark Twain called it) to the greens of the botanical gardens, to the purple of the Na Pali coast (and of course the blue ocean).  We tried scuba diving for the first time and enjoyed a sunset dinner cruise as well as the almost obligatory luau.  We are so grateful to the great folks at (izzit.org) for providing such an opportunity."
