hey everyone we are a little busy at the mo trying to book accommodation for all the places we are going here in california, as it is expensive!!!! it is cheaper to book it on the net. but the big problem is that we do not have great access to net shops here, which is weird, and every accommodation place only offers free wireless!!!

Hello all. How are all my good and dear friends keeping? I am doing swell thank you, other than the fact that there hasn't been any swell in Maui for like a month, and the only waves i have seen are from people across the street saying hi....Other than that i have had a pretty super week. Our lecturer this week is our base director, Tom. He is a serious legend. He knows almos everything, but is the humblest guy on earth. We learnt a ton. We have two weeks left now. This week the work load in terms of reading has dropped drastically which has been nice. It has given us a chance to breath, and spend more time in thought, prayer, and hanging out with each other. We still have had work, but it ... read more

This photo is taken on Waikiki Beach, Oahu. We took a day trip from Maui to Honolulu on Oahu. Famous for Pearl Harbour and Waikiki Beach and the most populated of all the islands, it's far more commercial than Maui where we stayed. First stop from Honolulu airport is Pearl Harbour to beat the rush. Arriving at the museum there's already a bit of a queue but the ticket we get telling us the time we need to line up to take the boat accross to the U.S.S. Arizona Memorial gives us plenty of time to take the audio tour through the museum. There is a really in depth and interesting exhibition detailing the lead-up to the attack, the decision of the base commander to line all the ships together and all planes wing-tip to wing-tip ... read more

ALOHA, hello all, well we have arrived and the flight was fine, we were a bit uncomfortable but we slept in the end. I was able to ask them for a front row seat for mart so he could have his foot further stretched out than usual, so that was good too. It was still annoyed though as he had this old woman leaning on him etc. we did laugh though. some people they just dont care do they?? So met up with the folks as soon as we arrived out of the airport as we were not allowed to check in until 3. bit of a bummer as all we wanted was a shower and to get marts cast looked at and get him some cruches. So met mum dad sharon and john at there ... read more

This photo is taken at the top of the Haleakala Crater This was the main part of our honeymoon and what a brilliant island it is. When we first booked our trip of San Francisco-Hawaii- Los Angeles I thought Hawaii would be purely sitting by the pool with the other cities being the activities and sightseeing. Hawaii obviously is beautiful with idylic white sands, clear blue seas and glorious sunshine but there is also so much to do. Yes we spent a lot of time, sitting by the pool, drinking cocktails and swimming but some of the sightseeing is brilliant. Snokelling as you might expect is ace as your catamaran skims beside spinner dolphins en-route before you have the opportunity to swim with turtles, eels, octopus and other multi-coloured fish that make you feel like your ... read more
