Time to pack up suitcases & catrch a flight back to Australia. Arrived at the ariport & went up to the lounge for breakfast. Well hooray, eventually a lounge that serves up Vegemite. This has been the only thing that I have missed, having vegemite on toast........ Becc & I went & did some Duty Free shopping before we boarded the plane. Left Honolulu around 10.50am, for a 10 hour flight back to Sydney. I was suppose to stay in Sydney for 3 nights but changed my itinerary. Missing home & the girls so I am flying back into Adelaide with Jase, Becc & Will. We got back into Adelaide at 10.30pm Monday the 10th of August, we lose a day during our flight.

Had to wake at 5.00am, oh not well had around four hours sleep. Feeling really ill, but got up & packed bags again & caught a flight out of San Fran to Honlulu around 9.00am. The flight took 5 hours, it went quite quick which was good considering the way I was feeling. Arrived at lunchtime, yea it was hot, very hot, sunshine & blue skies. This is going to be great to get a suntan in the middle of our winter. We were staying at the Hyatt in Waikiki Beach Resort. This was a 5 star resort with all the perks, what a fantastic room we had & a balcony overlooking the beachfront. No need to go anywhere but to the poolside. Becc & I got inot our bathers & headed straight to the pool. ... read more

I have no idea why I woke up at 5.00am but I did....it is what it is...right Jase!!!! Today was the day we go bike riding along the Golden Gate Bridge, this is going to be a big day. Stepped out of our hotel around 8.00, walked down to another little Diner called Max's & had breakfast it was good. Nice to have crispy bacon & eggs, but not so nice to get served up potatoes again, left these to the side, over the whole have fried up potatoes for breakfast. Walked down to catch a Trolley Cart which would take us to Pier 39, where we would grab the bikes for the day & ride along the wharves. The bike company's name was Blazing Saddles, very well ran company. Got on the bikes & progressed ... read more

Woke very yet again & Becc not so good, had a bite to eat & then took a taxi down to the South Seaport Dock. We were catching a Water taxi for a tour along the Hudson River. This took us up the river & to the Statue of Liberty. the tour was refreshing & entertaining. Got some terrific photos of the Statue, an outstanding 45 minutes on the Hudson. Next stop Ground Zero worksite where 9/11 happened, this is a massive area of construction where they are rebuilding the twin towers. They have not named these buildings yet but they will become another icon of the city. Later that day I purchased a ticket on a helicopter to tkae me for a ride around Manhattan. Breathtaking views of the city, very exciting & it was ... read more

Woke up quite late as we only got ot our room around 2.00am, very late. Got dressed for a day of adventure around New York. Went for a walk along Broadway,so many shops & people, well its manic. Brought a ticket on the City Sights Tour Bus, caught it & sat upstairs. The weather here today is around 24 degrees & muggy. The bus tour was terrific went around Times Square, through Greenwich Village, Little Italy, China Town & Soho, then back to Times Square. The whole Broadway street was closed to market stalls, which were kind of cool. Had a cornfritter with melted cheese & helped Will with his delicious chocolate crepe, now this was very yummy. Went shopping for the usual gifts, the I luv New York shirts. Brought all the girls one each, ... read more
