Woke around 5.00am got up & went for a walk, met Jase down on the street. We walked along the beach, it was magical to be out this early, very pleasant. After our walk went back to the room got our bathers on & headed down to the beach with Will. Swam in the ocean, very crisp & cool, stayed in for over an hour in the water, this was terrific fun. The water is crystal blue & clear, nice to be swimming & soaking up the life in Honolulu. After my swim went shopping again.......more t-shirts for the girls, clothes [View Full Entry]

Had to wake at 5.00am, oh not well had around four hours sleep. Feeling really ill, but got up & packed bags again & caught a flight out of San Fran to Honlulu around 9.00am. The flight took 5 hours, it went quite quick which was good considering the way I was feeling. Arrived at lunchtime, yea it was hot, very hot, sunshine & blue skies. This is going to be great to get a suntan in the middle of our winter. We were staying at the Hyatt in Waikiki Beach Resort. This was a 5 star resort with all the [View Full Entry]

Went to a really nice quiet restaurant for breakfast, had eggs, crispy bacon & real toast fro a change.......now this breakfast was delicious. Walked down to catch the trolley cart to Pier 43, got off & then caught a bus up to Lombard Street. We were going to see the most Crockiest Street in the World. To get up the hill we had to walk & yes the hill was very steep. It felt like 90 degress, tough going, my calves & thighs were burning by the time we got to the top. What a quirky little street, windy & crooked [View Full Entry]

Woke up to the rain on our windows & it looked like a miserable day in New York. Beccc & I decided we needed to do some exercise so got our runners on & walked in the drizzily rain to Central Park. What an invigorating run we had in Central Park in the rain, this certainly woke me up. Ran down to the Jackie Kennedy Reservoir & then stopped & walked back up 5th Avenue, by this time it had started to pour. Becc & I arrived back at the hotel looking like drowned rats, every piece of clothing was drenched. [View Full Entry]

Brought a ticket on the City Sights Tour Bus, caught it & sat upstairs. The weather here today is around 24 degrees & muggy. The bus tour was terrific went around Times Square, through Greenwich Village, Little Italy, China Town & Soho, then back to Times Square. The whole Broadway street was closed to market stalls, which were kind of cool. Had a [View Full Entry]
