He made it!! And here is a sample of the view:

2.11 miles, took him 49:50 to do it, and he did not stop. Tough hike for an eight year old. They say that the hike up should take average adult 1 hour 30 mins, guess he showed them!

Mint tea. Goodnight!

A few fingers of scotch to sip whilst watching the recorded The Walking Dead episode.

I learned it was "to while (or wile) away time". I have heard "I was whiling away my time" and "While I was whiling away my time".

I hope you both have a good trip.

Nice view! Only 8 years old? Wow! You should be proud.

Hot chocolate in my cup.

Nite, Latinandgreek.

So 16 hours after leaving home I arrived in Hawaii. I am only marginally complaining because I ended up in Hawaii but 12 hours on planes and 3 hours in airports is not fun. Especailly when you get up at 3:30 in the morning.

I managed, two 12 ounce cups of rooibos Plum Cinnamon, two 12 ounces cups of Three Kingdoms (A green tea of some sort from Teavana), 2 12 ounce servings of camels Breath Pu Erh, and two 12 ounce servings of Keemun on the flights. All but two of those were drunk on one flight, the one I had an aisle seat so I could get up and get hot water and go to the bathroom without disturbing anyone.

And several bottles of water. And OJ.

When I finished unpacking at the hotel I went and got a good burger, fries, and a beer. Then a nice walk on the beach which only made me wish that I had my hubby with me. Or a friend. Hawaii is a great place to travel for work but it is even better when you have someone to enjoy it with.

Off to research hikes that I can do on Friday and maybe find a whale watching trip for Saturday.

Watched it last night. Boring - maybe because I'm Asian. Forgot the name of the episode, though.

What? Asians don't like zombies?

(Okay, I haven't actually seen "The Walking Dead" myself so I might find it boring, too. That just struck me as funny.)

(Wait, I probably wouldn't be bored because I think it was filmed here in my city. Maybe I should watch it.)

Because zombies, together with vampires, is not a "traditional" fear here, if you know what I mean... We believe that the undead don't exist in the flesh, instead, we strongly think that they're invisible (of course there are those who can "see" them, but that's rare). And that's what scare us to death: invisible (or partly visible) forces.

Just imagine there's some undead sitting right next to you but you don't see them...

even scarier than visible zombies

That difference in fear between us originated from you being rationalist and us being idealistic

Liu An Gua Pian.
A good Chinese green tea to drink after jogging

Over this weekend I made up my mind regarding Liu An Gua Pian and Mao Feng.

2 weekdays then 5 days short break. Wednesday - London. Gin pub for Her. Tea tasting and shop for Him. Bread bakery for both.
2 days...

What a high potential of fun, there

Thanks !! I think we may even make it quite exactly to that date. Which, by sheer coincidence, is also my wedding anniversary
