Maui 02nd Nov 2007. The Killer (Haleakala) Woke up in Agony. Ankle reall really swollen and very sore. SHIT! Will be reallt gutted if i dont or cant do this hike as im sure it will be spectacular. Hobbled to the shop for water and try to gt some movement in the ankle. Not looking good as i continue to struggle. Went to the kitchen for breakfast and met Kathy and Becky - 2 canadian girls who turn out to be the funniest craziest & loudest girls ive ever met. Was about to pull out of the tour but thought what the hell - if i dont do it now ill never probably do it. Fingers crossed i wont breakdown 1/2 way around and have to be carried and airlifted back. Called off at supermarket ... read more

Maui, Hawaii. 05 Nov 2007 The sun is back and very very warm. Time to sweat all that corona out from night before. Ankle getting better and feeling ready for the 5km hike at Iao Valley (needle state park) Called off at some Korean (could be thai) park and that stands at the foot of the needle state park (see pics). The trail was pretty steep, muddy and slippery, very slippy in places so people were falling all the time. All this made it a much more exciting funny experience. Who wants it to be easy. If i wanted easy id hike in the pennines. It was so so humid in the valley during the hike and was soon sweating and P wet through. Good Hangover cure lol. There were lots of wild fruits and berries, ... read more

Maui, Hawaii. 02nd Nov 2007 The start of the best week ever! Ankles very very sore!!! Not sure what ive done to them! Did i fall when ive been pissed? Fist noticed it last night in Waikiki! Flight over to Maui was spectaclar flying over all the volcano's and rain forests. Got a taxi to Banana Bungalow Wailuku. Arrived and thought the hostel looks like a big giant garden shed. From the outside Very rustric and very basic. Much the same inside. Room 11, tiny 4 bed dorm full of white dust everywhere..apparently is prevents bed bugs...nice! Got shown around by Dana (very fit receptionist! lol) Very hungry. Recommended to go to Chucks Tacho place in the town. Spent the whole afternoon there eating tachos (best in the world for $4) and drinking corona with ... read more

Oahu, Hawaii. 01st Nov 2007 (Last full day Oahu) Woke up early...ish feeling a little dodgy after last nights festivities. Last day in Oahu so only 1 place i must see before i leave (Pearl Harbour)....otherwise im sure Wendy would kill me!!!! Got the local bus which takes about 1 hours to get to Pearl Harbour. On way got talking to a canadian couple which took my mind off feeling totally dehydrated and hungover. Soon as i arrived first priority fluids. Decided to take the full tour - works out at about $38 and included the submarine tour, US Arizona memorial, US Messuouri and Pacific aviation museum. Even though the museum was a bit poo and i walked around it in 10minutes Im so glad i did them all. First did the ww2 submarine tour ... read more

Hawaii, Oahu, Waikiki Sun 28th October 2007 Arrived in Honolulu quite late on the 27th October and feeling a bit drunk. Got a taxi with Heather to Waikiki. First impressions of Hawaii, Oahu - little suprised on how built up and commercialised it was. In honesty thought it would be a much more rural and untouched! Arrived at hostel and went straight out for food and more beers at the cheese cake factory. Had an awesome Pizza. Then just went exploring & for walk along the main stretch of walkiki. Got back to the dorm and met Alexa from San fransisco (had Just arrived). Had a chat but cant remeber what about as i was drunk and very tired and kept falling asleep whilst i was talking and listening lol. Hawaii, Oahu, Waikiki Mon 29th October ... read more

Waikiki, Oahu, Hawaii Wed 31st October 2007 Halloween and the Ozi Guys last night before they set off for Canada. Woke up really late with that feeling when you know your'e not where you are supposed to be and wondering where the hell you are. Lifted my head of the pillow and realised i was in the Ozi's lads dorm and in Russells bed (Not with Russell!!!!) Looked across the room and i found Russell sleeping on top of all the rucksacks and snow boarding bags looking very uncomfortable but fast asleep lol. Russell Woke and wanted to go for a spin in his car and invited me along which i gladly accepted so off we went. I thought this guy was crazy on his feet - hes just as bad if not worse when ... read more

During our trip around the world, we rode on a private jet that was piloted by me from place to place. Within the places we traveled, we either walked, rented a car, or rode a taxi to get to different sites in the places we flew into.

We awoke to find a two, I guess tourist, in front of us. I guess they thought we homeless people, we smelled like rotten fish and wore dirty and wrinkled clothing. I asked who are you and how did you get here. They told me that their names were Emily and Palamon, and that they were on vacation and were staying at the Hilton, which was just a mile away. I was shocked because if what they said was true, then that means that we are on the Big Island and that we made it back safely. I told them what had happened and they immediately called the authorities. Within no time, they came with the whole nine yards, helicopters, cops, paramedic, and fire fighters. We were all saved and guaranteed home. Preston was taken ... read more
