Aloha for possibly the final time!!! (BooooooHooooooo) Thursday here dawned very wet and overcast but still very warm. It looked like it had been raining for quite some time because the Ala Wai Canal over the back of us was very brown and dirty compared with its usual colour. We were a bit concerned because we had a helicopter flight booked for 3pm this afternoon and the weather level was very low but we assumed that it would pick up…..and it did!! We had decided that we would get up, have breakfast and head out to Hanauma Bay to do some snorkeling at this famous ‘marine reserve’.

I have been meaning to type up my final blog entry since I got back as I was hoping to print all my entries off and ... read more

Thirty-six hours after finishing work at Steamworks - and fresh from having spent a great final day in Vancouver drinking beers with my ex-workmates, watching an Australian finally win the US Masters golf, and then retiring to my luxury hotel suite for the night - I was making my way across the Canada-U.S. border bound for the small airport at Bellingham, from where my ridiculously cheap ($112 US) flight to Honolulu would depart. Six hours after taking off we were touching down in the Hawai'ian capital on the island of O'ahu, where despite the fact that it was already after ten o'clock at night the temperature was a balmy twenty-plus degrees, with the high humidity and jungle-like trees surrounding the airport instantly announcing the tropical nature of the islands - something I had not experienced since ... read more
