We had a stopover in Los Angeles on the way home from Australia in 2001. Unfortunately, to my disappointment, we didn’t get to see anything because our body clocks were buggered, so we spent the whole day sleeping then the whole night awake!! I remember we left Sydney, Australia at 1.30pm on the Tuesday afternoon and arrived in Los Angeles something like 6.30am Tuesday morning. So really, we had flown 13 or 14 hours but our clocks went back 19 hours. (more…)

Aloha! Hawaii was gorgeous – palm trees, beautiful coast, sandy beach, clear water. It ranks in my top three favourite places easily. The people there are quite relaxed and very friendly, giving off a very relaxed atmosphere. As soon as we arrived in Honolulu airport we were greeted by rather enthusiastic, chirpy, men who wore bright, flowery shirts. It’s funny how Hawaii is part of the USA, yet it is very different in terms of fashion and attitude. (more…)

Coming soon…
