Aloha Everyone

Hanging loose (so they say here!!!) Well what can I say, left Turlock and LA and arrived Oahu, Wakkiki on Monday 25th June and been hanging loose since then. Hotel really nice and luxury defo after the tents. Peggy arrived safely on Tuesday and weve been checking out the sites of Oahu, we have sussed out the beach, restaurants and ofcourse the bars but not hit these as yet but its Friday today and sure we will have a few. Weird cos we now three hours behind California which means Im 11 hours behind you guys in England so body clock is taking some getting used to the new time here and been awake each morning about 5/6am ahh!!
Yesterday we did the Grand Circle Island Tour, Shannon Obrien was our tour guide, he was really cool and knew so much about the islands history, he kept us entertained through out the day. We did have a big blow out on the road to the pineapple plantation and sure he was more scared than the rest of us on the bus ha ha!!! Me and Peggy laughed so much cos we were then driving on the hard shoulder and there was a dip down to the right and we had visions of us toppling over cos he was so close to the edge!!!! But hey Steve another tour driver came and rescued us back to civilisation. Hurrah!!!
Chilling out today and found internet cafe where can download pics and its only $15 for two hours but my blog site signs in Japanese how good am I I can read it ha ha!!!
Weather is nice about 88F with nice breeze so you can lie and bake on that sun and watch the world go by and the surfers and the lifeguards ha ha!!!
Lifes good and relaxed right now really enjoying and not missing work at all, but defo miss the guys there. Well must shoot, beach and water beckon!!! Catch up soon and malhao!!!
