30th Birthday Trip: Part 1
I’m writing about the cruise first, because I don’t have access to my foursquare history right now, which is how I was planning to write about Disneyland – I’ll just go through it and it will help me recall what we did! But I don’t have a foursquare history for the cruise (much too hard … Continue reading
Disneyland 2010
We went to Disneyland at the beginning of the most awesome trip ever. This recollection is brought to you courtesy of Foursquare. I checked in just about everywhere I spent significant time attending, so I have a “running commentary” of things I did!
Visiting the Big Island
For Saturday we had big plans, a flight to the Big Island to see the volcanoes. This was not a trip we planned very carefully; before we even left home we had to pay an extra $125 so we could fly into Hilo instead of Kona, which was what we’d originally reserved. That was a … Continue reading
Nice Places
We started the day by walking down to the Urasenke Foundation on Saratoga St for a tea ceremony. They only do it two days a week, and only twice on those days. So we had made reservations for the 10am Friday performance. We had to wait a little bit because they were expecting another spectator, … Continue reading
Last Day Solo
Considering that this was my last day to do whatever I wanted, I didn’t do very much. I finished uploading my pictures which had failed to finish last night. I realized where the cache from yesterday must be, I figured out that it should be at Kuhio Beach Park! So I went over there because … Continue reading
Dolphin Swim
Woke up at 8:00 and did not want to get out of bed. I managed to get up because I wanted to get to Sea Life Park early for my Dolphin Royal Swim at 11:00. The bus ride was an hour through some random neighborhoods, and I did get there way too early. I sat … Continue reading
More Play, More Work
I woke up at 8:00 this morning and decided to run out and go geocaching. I knew there were two in Ala Moana Beach Park, and I suspected a third, so I figured I’d go there. I took the bus and as I got off, I realized I had forgotten to bring a pen to … Continue reading
Wandering Honolulu
I decided to take today off from homework and wander around. I didn’t really have anything specific planned, so I figured I’d go to the Waikiki Aquarium. I waited and waited for a bus, but nothing ever showed up so I walked instead. The Aquarium admission was $6 with my student ID, and that included … Continue reading
Half Work, Half Play
This morning I was up at 7am for no reason. Oh well. :A: was up too, but she had to leave for work about 8am anyway. When she left, I went downstairs too and walked across the street to the beach. I walked around for a few minutes, and then my phone rang – :A: … Continue reading
First Full Day
Today was our first full day in Hawaii. We both woke up pretty early, before 8am local time. The time difference is so weird – the jet lag is really bad, and I keep thinking about “what are my friends doing right now?” and realizing they’re having dinner when my day just started a few … Continue reading
