ALOHA,

Well I am in Hawaii and my pal Amy is here for her vacation and it is so nice to see a familiar face...making me a little homesick but I am good...5months to go!

So my arrivial here was very eventful...being detained by customs/immigrantion for a few hours, treated like a criminal...'welcome to the usa!!' They think that back in 2001 i stayed over the 90day limit, which is a lie and i am waiting for Virgin to get back to me, with the information...hopefully before i leave for Canada, otherwise I won't be going to Vancouver.

Hawaii is nice, not what i expected but its cool. The weather is okish...some days pretty cloudy but still warm. I have visited a maze and today we walked to 'Diamond Head', to view Hawaii from a mountain...this was cool. Tomorrow we are off to Pearl Harbour and to the beach.

All is well...looking forward to my trek in America...hoping i don't get deported and I make NYC to see those who are coming to see me!

Missing you all lots of love Cat....oh and welcome my new baby niece Aoife woo hoo xxx
