Hawaii Day Two

Well here it is day two of our Hawaii vacation and what a relaxing day it has been, breakfast which is included was great and I over ate a bit but that I say was because last night we didn't have dinner just didn't feel like it. My back and shoulders/neck is aching from all the walking and carrying my hand back which I sling across my chest to prevent it being stolen.

After breaky we went for a walk but I also came back to the room to change into my shorts and noticed that the email I sent yesterday to the travel agent didn't go so I had to copy it and send it again this time through my gmail account and that went.

We went on a bus ride this morning I like to jump to a bus and take a ride but most of the time Tim doesn't want to do it which is annoying but this morning he agreed and he liked it.

We have picked up the tour vouchers although it took us a while to find the place to get them from but it is done now so all good. I have also contacted my eldest daughter and my sister to see if someone could ring the booking centre for the travel agent for us. I am not stressing over it but it still a concern.

This afternoon Tim went down to the pool and got into the hot tub while I sat in the bar and had a Blue Hawaiian and a bowl of chips, then I came back and had a nice long bath and as I sit here I am writing this and looking at the beach.

I can tell you one thing I have a bloody headache, oh yeah when Tim joined me at the bar he asks what I was drinking I told him, he asks how much is that I told him I didn't know around $11 and he had this look as if he thought I paid too much but he didn't say anything which is a good thing as if he had I would have been annoyed as he has spent close to $30 on grog since we arrived.

Arrived but not without dramas

Ok we have arrived but all hasn't gone smoothly, last week I wanted Tim to check the reservation and the airport transfers but NO he knew better and what happens we arrive to find out that because he didn't ring and confirm the airport transfer we were not on the list after some talking to the guy it was arranged that another company would take us to the hotel. So we get here at last and we are not booked in till tomorrow the travel agent stuffed up but thankfully after the guy had a chat with his manager they agreed to move our booking forward a day, although the room they had was in an area of the hotel that is having work done so he said it might be a little noisy I don't care I am just happy they are working around us and we have a room. The hotel waved the booking fee because of the work going on and the nose, however there are more problems. I discovered they have us checking out now on Friday and we don't fly out till Saturday and we are booked into the Rydges on Sunday night.

I  have emailed the travel agent and asked them to get back to us asap, I said we are willing and happy to stay another night but we shouldn't have to pay for it.

On another note my back is aching so much from all the walking and carrying heavy bags but it has been a nice day more or less. 

Tim would not have it that we leave Saturday and arrive Sunday, I made him ring Hawaiian Airlines and asked them and then he admitted I was right. 

We went out for a walk, and bought a few things, I got two 600 ml or 20 oz bottles of Coke for only $3.30.

No photos today, I am too exhausted but have taken a lot so far and will download them and post some tomorrow...............maybe............

Waiting

In about an hour we will be leaving for the train station, we are catching the train to Central Station in Sydney and than we will catch the airport train to the International Airport. Tim says he would rather be there early and just sit and chill till it is time to leave than end up running late and I can see his point of view as sitting around waiting to leave is so bloody frustrating.

Jessica is driving us to the train station and I had to ask Natasha to come over and get the clothes off the line this afternoon, Jessica would do it but she will not fold the clothes and I like the clothes folded so they don't get to creased.

I think I might have to find a jacket to take with me I have one packed but don't want to go looking for it so might crap another one, Tim is up and down like a yo you he just can't seem to sit still.  

Packing for a holiday and me being so very excited

Good afternoon all, it has been a beautiful day here in Australia. I had Kathy-Lee, Sydney-May, Summer along with Jessica and Leo here for lunch it was a birthday lunch for Kathy who turned 29 last Wednesday.

The rest of the afternoon has been spent packing for our holiday, I discovered that at the end of last summer I threw out a number of pairs of my shorts so could only find 1 pair to take with me to Hawaii but I also packed some leggings and long tops/short dresses to wear.

We are catching a train to Sydney tomorrow around lunch time and than we will take the train that runs from Central to the airport yes we will be there early but Tim worries about running late and would rather be early than late. The flight doesn't leave till 9pm so I am expecting to sleep pretty much all the way to Hawaii. I have never flown at night before...........just saying..........

We went out this morning and bought me a new camera since the last one died and I have to have a camera on a holiday.

You know what is annoying, when Tim puts the telly on a channel than leaves and goes to his office and doesn't come back............I just changed the channel well I put on Inspector Morse as I am tying to clear as much from the Foxtel hard drive as I can before we leave since I will be recording a fair bit while we are away.

I may not post as often while we are away but if we have free Wi-Fi I will be posting on Facebook about what we are up to, you have no idea how excited I am about the trip.  

Too Busy To Blog, Have To Watch Some Recorded Programs

Not blogging today, have to clear some space of my Foxtel box to record ready for while we are away.
