Well we have been in Hawaii now for 6 days on the island of Oahu. We are staying in an excellent location only a street back from Waikiki Beach.

Hi All. Well we have spent the last two nights in Sydney. We stayed in a gorgeous hotel at Circular Quay. On our first day here we cruised through the Sydney Harbour all day and stopped off at Taronga Zoo, the Aquarium and the city. That night we cruised the harbour for a 7-course dinner - fabulous! The second day we did the Tower and OzTrek and then shopped through the arvo. Off to the plane tonight and will land in Hawaii tomorrow morning - Can't wait!!!...

Well it's the night before we leave home. We have finally packed our bags and are pretty much set to go. A bit scary but very exciting!! Talk again soon when there is something more interesting to tell. M&T.
