The anticipation is building, the offspring have accepted their fate (no EB Games expo for them this year), activities have been booked, and an itinerary has been arranged. Four sleeps remain until D-Day (departure day), which will no doubt be filled with a flurry of activity and last minute cries of "Wheres the...??" and "You can't take THAT!!"

The past few weeks have involved more suggestions of "What should we do while we're there?" than I care to think about, a few light days at the office have been of great assistance in the planning phase Also big thanks to the extended family, who, as a combined birthday gift, have conspired with North Shore Shark Adventures to send us out into the ocean off Oahu's North Shore to get friendly with some 'toothsome locals' - in theory from within the confines of a very safe cage, but you just never know, maybe they're trying to tell us something...! Definitely an adventure to look forward to either way!

Helicopter tours, kite boarding lessons, surfing, generally bumming around, seeing as many sights as possible, and of course sampling the local cuisine, are all 'on the list'.

HURRY UP SATURDAY!!!!!
