Last Sunday I won nearly a whole day by flying to Hawaii. I landed in Honolulu and stayed in Waikiki for 3 days. Today I went up to the North Shore and visited Kailua and the Pillbox Trail before heading north. My days in Honolulu looked pretty much the same: […]
First part of my sabbatical is nearly over. I went back from Jan Juc / Torquay to Melbourne yesterday and started packing for my next trip to Hawaii. It was an awesome time here in Australia with lots of surfing (more than 20 days), sightseeing and traveling to Tasmania, Phillip […]
