Hawaiian adventure

---

Sorry about the last report, problems with the computer.
Anyway, It took us approx 6 hours to fly from LA to Honolulu. The Miramar hotel on Waikiki is very nice and only 1 block from the beach. Winter sun is averaging approx 84 degrees with a light wind and light passing cloud. Spent the 1st day, on the beach but more importantly in the pacific. The water temp is about 20 degrees, just right. The surf on the East cost is only about 6 to 8 foot, on the North shore in Dec the surf reaches 25 to 30 ft. Pity we won, t see it. Yesterday we had an island tour, firstly to Pearl harbour, it was a very moving experience, especially on the Arizona memorial. we then went to the Dole plantation to see all the pineapple process, then onto the North shore, rugged but wild, the rain forest is where they filmed Jurassic park. Passed Diamond head extinct volcano top. In the evenings you can get food from forty dollars a head to 6 dollars a head in the chinese internation market, where do you think we ate!!!!!. Today Rog and myself have been snorkeling in the top of an extinct volcano, opened to the sea. I have never seen such a variety of fish in my life, all colours and shapes, my eyes were popping. Only to be topped by seeing a green sea turtle swimming just under Rog and myself, Awsome. The girls were in The Outrigger hotel having Coffee and overlooking the Pacific. Tomorrow we are going to an Hawaiin culteral day where we take part in a few things allegedly. Try to updat before we leave for NZ on Monday otherwise love to all ALOHA.

Aloha both
Glad you are having a good time, you must get Cherry snorkelling she'd love it. Just got back from a week in sunny Spain followed by a business week in sunny San Francisco. Now jet lagged and knackered. Temp at home is 6 degC and we even had a frost the other night.

You seem to be enjoying yourself.
Looks like you are having a great time. Weather looks to somewhat better than the east coast of UK which has just had one of its most stormy periods with the highest storm surge since the great flood of 1953. I can tell from your gasp that you wish you were here, I dont think! Enjoy your trip, the snorkeling sounded great and I would like to visit Honolulu myself some time you make it sound somewhat different to what I expected. I just got up for a cup of tea its about 05-00 here and thought I would give your blog a look up. I have put a link from the front the nav bar of my web site to it so there is no excuse for me not to leave a comment. Are well time for bed said Zebadee enjoy your trip and keep the blog up to date. Oh by the way I should have our photos on the web site of our trip to John and Linda by next Monday so if you get a chance to look thw site www.mikereaney.co.uk. TTFN Mike
