I can't remember a time we actually got to enjoy the place we were competing in. Usually we get into the venue early, work/compete all day, find something to eat, go back to the hotel exhausted, sleep... Repeat...

Our team didn't really like the idea of taking a 4+ hour plain flight just to see another gym...

But it sounds like it was lots of fun.

I know most (all?) of the mainland teams stayed an extra few teams.
Since we're flying east, we get there earlier in the day so we had some extra time on Wednesday. We also stayed through Monday so we had all of Sunday and Monday morning to enjoy Hawaii.
I know 254 stayed a whole week, 233 stayed till Tuesday or so, not sure how long the other teams stayed but I know they were there at least a day extra.

p.s. A couple of us RAN all the way up Diamond Head..it was great..........till we got to the stairs.
