Day 14 - Denarau to Royal Davui Island. Fiji Well not too much of a lie in as it was really noisy here in the Hilton. I was fine as I had ear plugs in (seasoned traveller you see; well actually spending far too many nights in anonymous hotels whilst working), but Bill didn't and was awake half the night. Anyway nice leisurely breakfast and a walk along the beach before checking out. The car to the airport arrived spot on time and we felt like royalty being...

Day 12/13 Oahu to Fiji Up even earlier today 4:30 to get the 5:15 pickup to the airport. My body is begining to forget what sleep is but strangely I don't seem to feel too bad on it. It must be the opposite of S.A.D. i.e. the brightness of the sun makes you want to hibernate less or something. At the time of writing it is 9:20pm and the clocks have gone back one hour but forward a day, very confusing. We left Hawaii on Friday and got to Fiji on Saturday losi...

Day 11 Waikiki, Pearl Harbour, Ohau As I write this it is 7pm Hawaiian time which is 4:58am back in the UK and that is the time we got up this morning, I wouldn't mind but it's even earlier tomorrow as we have flight to Fiji to catch! Well we did catch the 5:45am bus which eventually turned up a 6:05am and got to Pearl Harbour around 7:15am. My, what a journey, having done the return journey as well which was just as long, I can honestly say it's not an exper...

Day 10 - Kauai to Oahu Well dinner was very good last night but again I didn't manage to eat it all! I don't how these Americans manage; well maybe I do judging by the size of some of them; most people seem to take "doggy bags" back to their rooms though so perhaps they should look at their portion sizing! Apparently Duke (who the restaurant is named after) was the first Hawaiian to win a gold medal in the Olympics and introduced surfing into Mainland US, so h...

Day 9 - Kauai, Hawaii Well the first cloudy day since we have left the UK. I know we shouldn't complain as the islands have had massive storms with rain, thunder and lightning but because of our island hopping we so far have missed them all, however a bit disappointing though after yesterday. As we have no car here we had intended to stay round the pool and beach today and just swim and sunbathe but instead took ourselves off for a walk after breakfast acros...
