Hawaii, post #1

Mission: preparation,day 1

Subject: the Thompson family

Camp Whittle supplies have now become Hawaii toiletries. Mini-toothpastes, mini-shampoos, mini-conditioners, mini-lotions, and sunscreen bottles have all been put away for Hawaii. I do not understand why we need lotion anyway. It's not like the weather will be dry when we're closer to the equator.

However,in terms of sunscreen, we might need more. My mom told my sisters and I that before we put our clothes on in the morning, we need to slather layers of sunscreen on our naked bodies. Then, we have to sit around and let the sunscreen "soak in" as my mom says. Not everybody who is going to Hawaii would have to do this procedure, but my sisters and I have exceptionally fair skin. When I went to Catalina with my school, my neck and thighs were literally bright red.

My family also discussed the snorkeling situation for Hawaii today. We have three pairs of flippers and five snorkeling masks. At that point, my mom asked me to try on a pair and discovered that they would not fit so I have to buy a new pair.
