    She hasn’t really left my side since we got home. #cat #love


    My Dad emailed me these yesterday. I was pretty much equally amused and horrified. GO IRISH!

    Caffeinating. This barista seems awesome. (@ Kimo Bean at Saratoga Road) http://t.co/D2zJn552


    Bought myself a pretty dress. Now going in search of mochi shaved ice… http://t.co/7UQ9tPDb


    @drkknits Not. Scrolling. Back.


    Shaved ice FAIL. Ailana Waikiki is closed, and other location closed AS WE WERE WALKING IN. I give up.


    @drkknits Spent an hour chasing it down during rush hour. Eff that. Going for booze instead.


    A final round of Mai Tais, just for @drkknits. (@ Da Big Kahuna Restaurant & Tiki Lounge w/ 2 others) [pic]: http://t.co/NGPczRb1


    Bags are packed. Just waiting for the Snook so we can check out and head to the airport!

    I bought myself a pretty dress! Locally made, according to tag and nice salesman.

    @drkknits Finally getting to the end of Wolf Hall. Have to buy you a new one – the shine is off this copy! 🙂


    @knittydotcom Ahh, missed on shaved ice on North Shore. Will look for Shimazu!


    @drkknits Missed this. He’s such a cutie!


    @knittydotcom I’ve looked at ukes, but I’m wary of the hassle if trying to bring anything wooden home to Oz. It’s Frowned Upon.


    @randomknits Really?! There was a big crowd today watching the crazy surfers!


    @twelveeyes @knittydotcom My traveling companion stresses out about declaring things, so it’s easier not to subject him to it. 🙂


    Oh sweet baby Jesus. PORK CHOPS. (@ Side Street Inn on the Strip) [pic]: http://t.co/jL66tLu9

    Weather has been so odd. Rain and sun mix all day long. We saw like six rainbows today!


    @drkknits No room for US version, I’m afraid. I think we’re pushing the weight limit! One more day. Very ready to come home. 🙂


    @drkknits And yes, I like it! Excited to read sequel, since everybody says it’s even better.


    Last day in Hawaii before heading home to Sydney!


    Big breakfast. Worth the wait! (@ Cinnamon’s Restaurant w/ 2 others) [pic]: http://t.co/lgeqwGKu

    Today I learned that during rush hour in the Honolulu CBD, they often use orange traffic cones to “move” the center line on the road over when there’s more traffic in one direction. If you don’t know this, you might inadvertently drive half a block down the street before realising oncoming traffic is coming directly at you. Today I also learned that in life-threatening situations, the Snook defaults to American: “DUDE, YOU’RE GOING THE WRONG WAY!”

    We’re fine, incidentally. In hindsight it was pretty hilarious.

    Morning in Waikiki. It’s a little gray and rainy. Planning a trip to the north side of the island.

    Just said bye to Jeff & Tricia – great to finally meet them! @ Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) http://t.co/h0K9m8S6


    @drkknits Thanks! They’re filthy. 😛


    We had a great 6 hours in Seattle! #whirlwind http://t.co/Hn6z7sGC


    @imdominating Pretty much. And now we’ve got a 6hr flight to Hawaii…


    Happy New Year! We checked in five minutes before midnight after a VERY long day… (@ Ohana Honolulu Airport Hotel) http://t.co/bjtOyEPn


    I can hear the fireworks in Waikiki. They’re too far away to see though. I’d rather sleep at this point anyway.


    @drkknits The end of the trip is in sight! Give the cats an extra cuddle, if you can. I know the fireworks always freak Amy out. 🙂


    @randomknits I believe it’s pronounced “Aloha”. 🙂


    Just realised we’ve been up for 22 hours, with about half of that spent on planes. It’s time to sleep.


    Excellent breakfast at cafe filled with locals. Thanks Internet! (@ Ray’s Cafe) [pic]: http://t.co/9RtEu6nY


    Made it to our hotel! 77F with patchy clouds and a little rain. But better than snow! (@ Aqua Aloha Surf & Spa) http://t.co/n7F1qKEI


    Just discovered two fabric stores with walking distance of hotel. BOOYAH.
