G'day Honolulu



Here I am in Hawaii! I left Chicago early Saturday morning. I'm here as a consequence of having a Qantas "Around the World" ticket. When booking the flight my travel agent suggested I interrupt the 18 hour flying time back from Chicago to Cairns by dropping down in Hawaii. It didn't cost anymore and therefore I had no difficulty adding it to my itinerary.

So I now have a week to chill out, enjoy the sights and importantly reflect on what I have learnt during my six month adventure. I have lovely private accommodation five minutes walking distance from Waikiki Beach.

The climate, plants and scenery remind me very much of Paradise. No, I haven't been to that place yet, I mean Cairns - my home town.
