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.

It was the L.A. to Sydney leg of a marathon Minneapolis-St. Paul to Hobart, Tasmania journey. The was a medical emergency 2.5 hours out of LAX and we had to return. That 14 hour flight was extended by another 6 hours. Everybody cheered when we finally landed in Sydney.
