This evening I'm flying to Honolulu. Because of crossing the international date line, I'll be arriving a few hours ago. I may check my email and Vox and other blogs once or twice while I'm away, but I don't plan to be spending all my time in cyber cafés.
I plan to do a lot of nothing. I will definitely eat a lot of bananas - which have been incredibly expensive in Australia for months since Cyclone Larry wiped out most of the country's crop. I think I will probably eat bananas until I throw up. I will also get my fill of American trashy (and not so trashy) TV, which I miss sometimes. I'll be seeing a few more museums and art galleries. And I'm really looking forward to spending a few days in Laie, on the windward coast, and experiencing some less crowded beaches and doing some hiking and even more relaxing.
I'll be back late on next Sunday night.
I am in this unusual situation
where I am obliged to travel to Hawaii once a year. Because I still
don't quite feel ready to leave behind my US permanent residency, I'm
going again this year. It was a bit more difficult to plan this year,
and for a moment, there was a chance that I might return to Minnesota
instead. But no, I'm going back to Oahu for a third time, but this time
will be completely different because I'll be travelling with my
girlfriend. I'll be travelling from September 10 to September 16.
