Day 10: Disneyland Part 3 - Return of (Josh) the Jedi! Today we headed back to Disneyland one last time to complete some unfinished business and revisit the favourites of days 1 & 2. The highlight of the day without a doubt was the Jedi Training Show. First time round, Josh was happy just to be a spectator. This time though he wanted to be part of the action, so up the front he sat. Not only was he luckily enough to be one of the 20 kids picked out of the ...

Day 7: Feet Up! After two full-on days across the road, today was marked down in the itinerary as a designated rest day. I don't know though how much 'rest' Josh actually got enjoying the water park here at our hotel - a pirate ship complete with water canons and slides kept him busy for hours while mum and dad were quite happy to be lounge lizards by the chaos, dipping our weary feet occasionally in the nearby spa. (You'll note photographic evidence however t...

Day 6: Disneyland - Part 2. Yesterday we took in just about everything the original Disneyland Park had to offer. Today we took on its younger brother - Disney California Adventure.

Anyway, back to the day...

Day 5: Disneyland - Part 1. Well it was the reason for the trip and we weren't disappointed. We were there for the gates opening at 9am and we were among the hordes strolling down Main St just before closing time twelve hours later! Josh just loved it - we now have a roller coaster junkie on our hands! ("Take me on a faster one Daddy!") In total we've ticked off 22 rides/attractions on our first day. Sounds a lot, but still a lot more to see with our 2nd and ...

Day 4: Honolulu > Los Angeles. We've hit the mainland! Been a long day, got up pre-dawn to catch a 7am flight out of Honolulu. We arrived at LAX late this afternoon local time and jumped into our stretch Limo (hey it's LA, I figured we may as well look the part!) Couldn't be more happy with our accommodation, the king suite at the Howard Johnson. Put it this way - the lounge area here is bigger than the whole room we had in Waikiki. On top of that, we are ...
