Last entry.. Internet aint working too well so most of the videos never uploaded. The first few of these pictures are of the HIlton in Narita... not quite as nice as the one in Shinjuku, but still pretty good. Much more western in style too, larger rooms. A few pictures of Terminal 1 Narita, this was my first time there (JAL flies out of the nicer Terminal 2), but wasn't too bad. The flight itself was pretty good, lots of room to spread out which was nice. Also while waiting for the other guys to board the plane I ended up [View Full Entry]

July 6-7 Monday What is that? Clouds in the skies? Noooo! Well, I’ve been lucky, that’s for sure. I haven’t seen too many overcast or rainy days since I’ve arrived here; today just happened to be one of them. So, what do you do when it’s overcast in Hawaii? Shop, of course. Bill and I decided to head over to the Ala Moana Center to do some shopping for a while. I really love this mall! Come to think of it, I love all malls! But, this is truly a great place to spend the day shopping. And the sales! For [View Full Entry]

July 4-5 *2 pages of pictures again*there are some really pretty ones...don't forget to click 'next' Ah…7:45am, a little groggy, but water and two Excedrin (my best drinking buddy) have made it easy to stand up. It wasn’t the best night’s sleep for sure, but my Saturday morning run awaits me. Memories of the previous night quickly surface as I reach into my purse and pull out a giant handful of stuff I don’t remember ever putting in there: two crown royal pouches, two small American flags, and a necklace of some sort…ah…Chip. I love funny [View Full Entry]

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]

July 3 This day is dedicated to my fabulous neighbor Heather who put me in touch with her friends from her old job. They have the best job in the whole world; they travel to the most amazing locations to facilitate business incentive travel. I’ve been hinting nonstop that I want to work there too…but apparently the economy isn’t doing too well right now and hiring isn’t happening? Maybe next year. Today I got a late start (which is happening more and more lately). I hopped onto the bus and headed to downtown Honolulu, which I really haven’t seen mu [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]

01/07/09 Wednesday Day 321 Aloha Our flight wasn’t the best one at all. We were hoping we’d get tv screens in the back of the headrests in front of us but we didn’t. Instead there was one tv on the roof of the plane and another projected screen at the front of our section. We basically had to strain our necks to see the tv in the roof and we were too far from the projected screen. After the second movie, (first one was Duplicity, second one was 17 again), it was lights out and we all slept for a bit. [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]
