I don't have as much time as I usually do to write these, so I apologise (or say "you're welcome") in advance that this blog will be a bit shorter than usual. This is also slightly helpful, as the place I am blogging about is Hawaii, and it is quite hard to keep "we went to this beech" interesting after the 6th or 7th time. Anyway, we got aboard the last two seats on the Qantas flight from Sydney to Honolulu, and arrived 12 hours before we took off (thanks to crossing the international date lie). Well rested on the flight, [View Full Entry]

June 30-July 2 Bill found me updating my blog early Tuesday morning and we decided to go on a run together. Everyone is faster than me, it sucks. We ran a 5.5 mile loop around Diamond Head which has some huge hills; not to mention that it was incredibly hot. But the ice cream we ate afterwards made keeping up with his faster stride worthwhile. Still sweating from the run, we decided to grab some beer and head to the beach. What a life! See how much fun not working can be? We walked down to San Souci Beach at the [View Full Entry]

Back to the Blog! Wow, have I learned my lesson. I just saw the last entry I made in this travelblog was in October 2005, or almost four years ago. Well this has not been because I haven't traveled; rather I've picked up more of a bug than ever! The reality is that my friend Tracie knew that I loved to travel and gave me a beautiful travel journal to record all my cherished memories. And this past Friday, on June 26, 2009, I lost it. I LOST IT! Four years of memories, taking me to: Austria, Switzerland, the UK, all [View Full Entry]

We headed to the airport with Jay and caught our flights with no problems. Then we waited a bit for Dean and Catherine, and after getting a bit worried Jay went looking for them, and rolled up in a massive Jeep Wrangler! They had been upgraded! We all jumped in, went to Safeway and met Ally at our hostel. Dean had already warned me that the hostel was a bit rough…we didn’t really know what that meant until we got in. It was mostly ok, a bit shabby in bits, but it was right across from the ocean, and there [View Full Entry]

June 28-29 The blog site has been temperamental, to say the least. I’ve been trying to update for 2 days, but it was just now that it finally published. And so much has happened since my last entry! I’ve really had a great two days. It began early, early Sunday morning when I again woke up at 3am. Drinking…hash…can’t sleep…seeing the pattern? Anyways, I ventured upstairs (it’s where my computer is plugged into the modem) and came upon my roommate Mike sitting at his computer in the dining room. Head up, hand on mouse, totally asleep [View Full Entry]

June 26-27 New day: no plans. Every few days I’ve woken up with the desire to branch out further from home to see some place new; today I decided to visit Kailua. It’s a small beach town, on the windward (east) side, probably only 30 minutes from here by car, but by bus, it’s over an hour. After over two weeks of feeling like a scrub, I chose today to straighten my hair, put on real clothes (and underwear, for those of you who read my last post), and cute sandals. The bus has become a less fun experience for [View Full Entry]

Oahu - Hawaii - Part II: Wedding Day! The big day, the Wedding Day. Scott & I both woke up early, my head was racing with a million thoughts, there was no way I could go back to sleep. Scott got up and went surfing with Jay & Stu and I hung out with my mum around the pool. We all met for lunch at 1pm down at our local restaurant the 24hr and then the boys & girls separated. All of the girls came to my room to start getting ready and the boys all went to Jays. Ally, Cathy [View Full Entry]

June 24-25 Famous celebrity deaths seem to occur when I'm away from home. I was in Switzerland when JFK Jr died, in Mexico when Princess Diana died, and here today..the day that Farrah & M.J. died. I know, it happens all the time, but these have been memorable ones for me. Not the subject of my blog today at all....but it seemed a fitting title anyways. Not much…that’s what I’ve been up to. *Read a report today about the Most Expensive cities in the world. Only two U.S. cities made the top 15, I believe. Manhattan and Honolulu; it figures…trying to [View Full Entry]
