CDC Trip 1: Hawaii

Part of my training this year at the CDC is disease outbreak investigations. Well, one occurred. So I have spent 3 weeks in some remote islands in the Pacific between Australia and Hawaii. The plane trip was so long from Atlanta that there is a rule that you need to rest on the way there. So I stayed at Honolulu.

I showed up at the hotel and I think because it is a low peak season, but they upgraded my room to a suite in a corner room facing the ocean and the city.






These are some pics of Waikiki beach from my room.






I also was able to hang out with some friends I knew in Hawaii. The same rule applied on the way back. My CDC team took a trip around the Oahu to see the various beaches, eat the famous garlic shrimp and shaved ice, and had a great time.



Hotel lobbies are done right in Hawaii.
