Odysseus and the Trojan Horse

In elementary school we did a play on this story so I know it from memory. Odysseus and the Greeks were at war with the Trojans because the most beautiful women in the world was stolen by Paris. The problem was the Greeks could not penetrate the Trojan city walls. So Odysseus came up with a plan to deceive the Trojans and sack the city. The Greeks built a giant wooden horse that they all snuck inside of and they presented it in front of the Trojan walls as a gift and sailed all their ships away from the coast to make it seem like they surrendered. The Trojans took the horse in and that night the Greeks sacked the city. My dream journey (as in trip I presume) would probably be to Hawaii. It seems like a beautiful place in the world and I have wanted to go there for a long time.
