Waikiki

Why is the adventure of overseas travel so prosaic? Because it's hard work and super tiring. Here we are on a gorgeous balmy day beachside at Waikiki. And we're buggered. A nine hour flight with only a half an hour of sleep is not conducive to a relaxing time. And what is it with the time zones? We left Sydney at 9.30 p.m. on Friday the 18th of June and we arrived in Honolulu at 11.00 a.m. on the 18th of June, eight and a half hours before we left home. Now we are about to swim and explore, have dinner, hopefully have a good nights sleep and then fly to New York tomorrow,  only to arrive eight hours earlier than we fly out. Crazy but I'm not complaining. Here's a picture from our hotel balcony.
