ALOHA from Honolulu!!




Well, after 10 grueling hours of flight...I made it to Honolulu! I was a little overwhelmed with it all (moving my luggage...renting a car...getting around in a new place...); this is the closest to a big city that I have ever lived-- as you can see from my pictures, I am surrounded by high rises! Today I was able to get a little more comfortable-- I am in walking distance from the beach AND two Starbucks! I started off my day at 3:30am (8:30 Indiana-- Ugh), and made myself lie in bed until 5:30. From 5:30 on I managed to go to Starbucks, the beach, the grocery store, WalMart, Sam's Club, Verizon, and I bought a car! And now I'm pooped! :) I will be picking up my car tomorrow...I'll post pictures so you can all see my new (used, of course) Subaru Outback! My apartment is on the 12th floor of a high rise. It's NOT the nicest place...but it's free, so I'm not going to complain! Here are pictures of my bedroom and the views from the patio adjacent to my bedroom. If you look closely, you can see the ocean and some boats in between two of the buildings.

The Hawaiian lady in your bedroom looks very interesting. She reminds me of the clown in Treasure Island. Maybe they're distant relatives? -Lis
