So san, G'Day, Kia Ora, Bula, Aloha & Hello Yes, I have returned!4,725 pictures better off, countless stories and experiences, and a new look on life. It may have cost me the best part of all my money but you Only Live Once... right? I have never experienced anything similar to a Round the World Trip before. I really got to appreciate the world and understand that it's much larger and more diverse than the majority think. I have managed to find so man...

Well there's only 3 days left on my Round the World Trip 2006. Since my last entry I've been getting a lot of exercise. Whether it's been walking around the city or cycling the Golden Gate Bridge and further one thing's for sure, both my butt and legs are hurting! So far I've clocked up 4,725 photographs.

After booking in at one particular hostel and trekking to the room, I immediately turned ro...

I've got 6 minutes to post this so I'll update when I arrive in Hawaii; if I arrive in Hawaii that is.In around 10 minutes a military coup is scheduled to take place in Fiji which could possibly knock the airport out. My flight at 10.50pm tonight (Fiji time) could be cancelled and I may be stuck in Nadi for the worst of it. Here's hoping it doesn't. But when I get to Honolulu, I'll be sure to update you with all of the crazy events that have h...
