California Road Trip
I was back in California again for an errand that I needed to take care of in Burbank. I intended to stay in the Los Angeles Metro for four days but a week before arriving, I learned of an important function that I needed to attend in the Bay area. Redwood City to be exact. …
Toronto Mini Trip
As part of my return flight to Hawaii from Icelend, I purposefully scheduled a three-day layover in Toronto. I was due for a return trip and from an airfare perspective, it was a perfect place to self connect. The weather was great while I was there and got to see some old friends. DAY 1…

Australia, Part 3: Sydney
Sydney was actually the first place I flew into when I landed in Australia. I had an eighteen hour layover before flying to MacKay to meet Dan and Dave. After they dropped me off at the Airport in Brisbane, I flew back to Sydney for two days. It was dark already when I landed in…

After several days of driving, Dan, Dave and I arrived in Brisbane from MacKay. The next few days were spent hanging around the Brisbane and Gold Coast area. DAY 1 They dropped me off in the city after I found out that Brooks, a guy I know from Honolulu, happened to be in Brisbane. After…
