Well things continue at a very realxed pace. Meditating and journaling on the lanai with a cocont candle and my honu (turtle). Watching the local "monkeys" climbing the "hotel" palms clipping them so nothing falls on the "guests" i.e. us! Sharks in the pool - no just me experimenting with the new camera - can turn the pool red by playing with the settings on the camera! I'm tempted by the local donorcycle rental but don't want to become an organ donor myself! Then just beaching everyday, sushi or be bim bop for lunch, and glorious sunsets every night. Life is [View Full Entry]

Despite the fact that my visit to Hawaii was a brief transit stop it definitely deserves a special mention. My visit to the land of the free was very memorable. The plane trip to Honolulu was uneventful but very long. We were entertained by quality films such as 'The fantastic four' and yet another Adam Sandler movie that was just like all the other ones! We arrived in Honolulu at 1am because the plane was running late and were informed that everyone had to leave the plane with their carry-on bags and go through American customs and immigration. We were led [View Full Entry]

Since the last update we have done a lot. We went to Diamond Head crater (it is an extinct volcano, there is a tunnel through the side of the crater wall, you go through the tunnel and then climb up the inside to a lookout at the top) - tiring but fun. We also went to Honolulu harbor and went to the maritime center (like a museum). Interesting. We came to the big island on Thursday. Went to see some waterfalls. We then drove to the other side of the island for a few days. We went to some parks and [View Full Entry]

Hi everyone, We are settling in again at The Breakers in Waikiki. It is like going back 50 years but surrounded by all the amenities of mdern life - great restaurants, bookstores, theatres, etc. This is my first attempt at travel blogging so I hope to attach some photos. Just a couple as I'm working dial-up from our hotel room - as I said like going back in time at The Breakers! I asked the younger staff about a future broadband wireless connection and they only laughed. I guess what can I expect from the "hotel" housing the official Japanese tea [View Full Entry]

We arrived in Hawaii on Friday moring at 1.00am after a 30 hour journey. On Friday we took a look around Waikiki. Found the beach and shops and rested. On Saturday we went to Pearl Harbor to the Arizona memorial. Also went to the submarine museum and the Missouri Battleship. On Sunday we went on a city bus around most of the island. We stopped at a Pinapple plantation and went around a garden there. Also there was the largest hedge-maze in the world - Heather likes those things so we went through it. We also stopped at a couple of [View Full Entry]

Wednesday I left for Hawaii for a week.. The trip there was crazy!! I caught a bus to Seattle and then had a look around the city, then caught a flight to San Francisco and a flight to Honolulu... I took friggin forever!!! I was not all that impressed with Seattle.. maybe because I was there all by myself lugging around heaps of luggage. I felt a little nervous as there were heaps of scary people (I would not like to be walking around by myself at night thats for sure!). There was also a huge anti George Bush rally on [View Full Entry]

Hi there! I know I didn't write you for a long time, but believe it or not, there was a good reason behind it. I really had to study for my midterms, which I finished yesterday. In the last time I wasn't doing so many things. I was staying a lot in my appartment, which wasn't bad at all. It's really comfortable and we have sometimes action in front of the building. Did you know that Hawaii has an Octoberfest, too?! But to be honest with you... it sucks! Some weeks ago we had a nice street parade and almost every [View Full Entry]
