On the evening of Dec. 2, the UNC women's basketball team headed back to Chapel Hill, where finals loomed and the weather forecast said snow was on the way. During the trip home, with the eight-day stay in Hawaii still fresh in their minds, the Tar Heels all answered the question, "What was your favorite part of the trip?"

Here are their responses:

La'Tangela Atkinson - "The luau. I had fun dancing and it was a unique cultural experience."

Chrystal Baptist - "Snorkeling. I loved seeing all the fish."

Nikita Bell - "Snorkeling. I felt like I was in an aquarium."

Coretta Brown - "Vising Pearl Harbor, because of the historical value, and shopping at the Armani store, where I went so much that all the workers knew me."

Courtney Chambers - "Swimming with sea turtles while we were snorkeling."

Elizabeth Coughran - "Snorkeling. I hadn't done it in a long time, and it was the one active thing that I could do with my knee."

Carrie Davis - "Watching the sunrise from Diamond Head, visiting Pearl Harbor and snorkeling."

Jenni Laaksonen - "Snorkeling. It was the first time I had done it, and it was fun to see all those fish."

Kenya McBee - "Walking around in Waikiki and on the beach."

Leah Metcalf - "Chilling at the beach."

Jessica Sell - "Seeing the big waves on the North Shore. I also enjoyed the great view from our hotel."

Candace Sutton - "Snorkeling. I had never been before and it was fun to see all the fish and coral and sea urchins and everything."

Jennifer Thomas - "Snorkeling. It was cool to see the fish, and the water was really warm and calm. It's not something you get to do every day."

Tiffany Tucker - "Sitting on the beach, and sitting on our balcony listening to the water."
