A place that i would most like to go to, in America, that I haven't been to is Hawaii.  I think it would be fun to be in a tropical place. I would have a great time learning about Perl Harbor, and WWII in general. The history of the country fascinates me. I would like to see the memorial of the Arizona, and learn how everything happened that day. I would go their by airplane and land in Honolulu National Airport on a Monday morning.  It would be sunny all week, except for a flash thunderstorm on Thursday. I would stay in a hotel, not the wild, but I would like to go and experience the beaches and etc. My expectations are that I would have a very fun time, and I would want to come back again.
