After an extended Break, we being you exciting new countries!
Monday 29th January
Arrive at Albury airport. Had carefully organised with travel agent to get the morning flight so that I would have time in Sydney to get my bag over to the international terminal and get all booked in. At no point had either travel agent said "oh no, Virgin and Hawaiian can book your luggage straight through", yet this is what ( Read more... ) -

Sunday 20th
Headed out for breakfast at one of the trendy coffee shop cafes, I wish I could be more specific but there's so many of those. San Francisco. Ran into town to quickly pick up a few things: socks for me, some clothes for David.

Catchup.
Saturday 19th
Repacked and got myself ready to leave at noon.
Headed out to find MAC 24/7, as seen in Man vs Food, to enjoy a hearty breakfast. Headed towards the Hilton for two blocks. Spotted that the numbers were going the wrong way. Headed back past the hotel, found way to the other Hilton. Too many Hiltons.

Waikiki, Wednesday 16 Jan

Slept long and well from all the travel, until the cleaner tried to open the door: that wakes a guy up. Got myself up and ready after a fashion, and headed out to explore again. Grabbed a banana bread and juice style breakfast at Jamba Juice. Explored down as far as Ross's ( Read more... ) -
Tuesday the 15th January - lets do that again!
Having had my week back at work I'm away again for a bit now.
Yesterday morning, which is technically also this morning (it makes sense somewhere), I headed off from Albury, with my traditional mix of excitement, trepidation, and sadness at leaving the cat to get all confused.
Sydney was a fascinating mixture of sitting and waiting and not doing. I ( Read more... ) -
Shiny new toy
Hey gang, I got myself a shiny new iPad, so I felt it was time for the new year update.
It's been a while I think, but its pretty much the same old song and dance. I'm getting a bunch of fillings next week. And I'm going to be in ths US in a fortnight. That's weird typing that.
Expect a selection of Hawaii, San Francisco and Vegas related posts in ( Read more... ) -
So it's been a while...
Just a quick post to update my blogwatchers. If any ( Read more... ) -
