At 7 a.m. Thursday morning, the first of the four groups of students loaded their suitcases into a truck at Punahou before taking their last exam. And the trek of the students via San Francisco, Chicago, Denver and Baltimore was underway.
Many thanks to Punahou staff, chaperones and deans plus some parents who helped tag and load the first group's luggage. After their exam, the students gathered before boarding buses to the airport and compared warm accessories - thinking of the chill ahead.
The scene at the airport was repeated four times during the day as the later groups met with their chaperones and proceeded on their journeys.
In layovers, students found many ways to pass the time!
