Greetings from yesterday..

Yvonne and I made it safely to Hawaii. I doubt anyone reads my blog but I thought I might post anyway. We're waiting for the bride and groom to be to go out for dinner so I thought I'd post.

Random thoughts

- Most of the zebra crossings are actually traffic lights. We didn't realise that the first time.
- The ones that aren't traffic lights - they don't give way to pedestrians. We worked this out pretty quickly.
- I still keep looking left and not right.
- Evil escalators are the other way round.
- I once again can't cope with foreign currency. I have to examine everything.
- Waikiki - there is an ABC store (cross between convience and souvenir shop) literally every 20 metres. We are not making this up.
- Waikiki - there are no sand dunes. The hotels are built on them. There is literally a 5 metre strip of sand and then water. We don't know what happens at high tide.
- Half the signs around here (street signs, signs on the bus) use the word yield - so random.
- I had my first ever female taxi driver on the trip here from the airport. She was Korean.
- There are so many tourists, every second brochure/sign in Waikiki is in Japanese. There are even two Japanese channels on the TV at our hotel.

I'm sure there are more things. Just can't think of them at the moment. Time to go to dinner (plus someone wants to use the computer.)

My bags are packed...

Well my bags are packed...



I'm ready to go...



Well almost...

I've been sick the last couple of weeks and feeling really weak, could barely lift my arms at one point - but I've knit a bit more than on those awful socks of doom...



(Plain Vanilla socks knit in 4ply from the Jolly Jumbuck - can't find the tag right this minute.)

Anyway, my next post will be from Hawaii - see you soon!
