Yeah yeah I know..been a while since I’ve written anything on my blog. First was busy with the new WoW expansion and then once I got my mage to lvl 80 and then got super busy with work. Didn’t even know if I’d be able to go on my planned vacation to Hawaii until around 11pm the night before I was supposed to fly out!

On day 3 of the trip and so far its been a blast! Staying at a hostel opposite University of Hawaii and the awesome thing about hostels (besides being cheaper then hotels) is the awesome people you come across Let’s see there’s Rick, the former bio-chemistry researcher now turned trumpet player, from Palo Alto. Then there’s Eva, the Biology professor, from Texas who let me use her waterproof camera today to take pics underwater when we hit Hanauma bay earlier today. Sean the green peace dude and damn can’t pronounce or spell her name… marketing PHD student from Ohio. So yeah…interesting mix of people.

Temperture here is perfect. The bay area was freezing when we left on Wednesday morning (highs of 52 degrees F) and here its been between 72 and 80ish even though it rained a bit early yesterday morning. Skies were clear and sunny afterwards and today the overcast conditions were perfect for the evening hike to the top of diamond head .

So far highlight of the trip was swimming with a turtle for what felt like good 10 mins or so at Hanauma bay. Other stuff I came across (both fish and coral) in the water today kinda paled in comparison to what I’ve seen in Fiji waters. Was really hoping I’d see I’d see a turtle and was swimming back to shore after searching for 20 mins on the second attempt of the day when I saw this lil dude that’s in the pic below.

Okay getting hungry so this will be it for this post. Will try to write another entry tomorrow.
