Hawaii Islands
Feb 1, 2005

Babies, despite their soft little heads, make the greatest icebreakers. Every time I get up to change Lucy on the flight to Hawaii, I hear another life story. I feel a real bond with a couple of people and almost ask for emails. But maybe travel ...

Back on US Soil
Dec 21, 2005

It is of course, amusing that the WORST hostel I have yet, is in the States. I once stayed a night in a hotel in Virginia Beach that brought my bad hotel experiences to a whole new level, but this tops it. It is the dirtiest place I've been in, and there ...
