Dancing Hippies at Lula's
Okay, it was time for Lærke to have a serious night out (we'd tried once earlier but the club we’d went to charged a $10 cover and wasn’t worth it). So Jimmy, Chareen, Lærke and I hit the town and went to Lulu’s. It was a pretty ...
Why it sucks to fly standby
While waiting at the airport me & chad didn't get cleared until the very end. The plane went out competely full no empty seats. The process seems like your waiting forever but once you get in your seat you forget all about ...

Day 1
Early start from Fresno with a three hour drive to L.A. Got to the storage facility to leave the car and found the rules required a tarp to cover the car. At the fantastic rate of 48.00 I received a blue plastic tarp and string of rope. High winds added ...

Hawaii

Day 249
Right, cannot afford to waste another day lounging around with a hangover. Or, if I'm gonna lounge around, at least I should do it on another part of the island. Manage to get myself up at a fairly reasonable 10am, and decide to head over to Hanauma Bay, ...
