Two children's watches

Even just listing that makes me want to punch myself in the gut. I have no children. I can’t even in good conscience send the watches to any of my friends for their children. One says “naughty girl” and the other is just cheap. I bought them on an impulse…what that impulse was….I have no idea.

So an hour before Doug is going to take me to the airport I suddenly remember that I need passport photos for my visa into Cambodia. Unfortunately, there is no place doing passport photos at this time so I'll have to try my luck in Singapore or somewhere along the way in Thailand. Shouldn't be too much of an issue but not good that I'm starting with an issue.

... of the afternoon. We caught up on writing our travel journal as well. Christine and I seemed to have the place to ourselves! Around 5:00, we were picked us by a taxi and taken to the airport. The flight arrived in San Francisco without incident. For the second time in our trip, our duffle bags were among the first bags to be delivered by the baggage carousel. We are using up ...

... ride. Anyway jock-boy didn't even know where this chain cinema was and was using his (knock-off) I-Phone to navigate. As we roaming around without much confidence in actually making the film, he proceeded to tell us how he'd been fired from his past jobs '...just give me the papers to sign man...whatever...' and hated taking orders - great for a cab driver - and how he was ****** at people who didn't shake his hand when he picked them up - we didn't - then as we passed a ...

... next few days. All that was left was to fill 'Maggie' up with petrol, and make our way to the freeway. Luckily, we would find that we were just ahead of our holiday weekend, rush hour traffic, compadres. The three of us were to meet Ian & Gioanna and their two girls Molly and Talia at the cabin, as they had left earlier in the day. This made things even more anxious for us as we had already gotten a couple of ...

... than I planned but oh well, I wont be there for ages, may as well have lots to remember it by!! We spent our last day in LA shopping and I FINALLY got my hair done!! I swear, I expected there to be hair salons on every corner in LA but it took me that long to find one!! On Wednesday we caught the much loved Metro to the airport to pick up our rental car and went for a quick drive through Beverly Hills and Santa Monica (to buy a road map ...

Happy 2006! Hope this year finds you doing more of what you want and less of what you don't. The start of a new year and I'm off and running already! Nothing soothes a little wanderlust like a big trip and I'm happy to have you along for the adventure. The trip will start a little rough with a 15 hour flight from LAX to Hong Kong. But, armed with over 10GB of music (thank ...

... of days of childish larffs (that's big sister for you). We cashed in on their lovely swimming pool and the all-you-can-eat breakfast buffet, now you would have thought we would have learnt our buffety lesson last time, but no - we all got carried away especially with the donuts which probably wasn´t such a great idea as that was the day they took us on a cracking day out at Universal Studios, in the company of Jaws, dinosaurs, the Mummy ...
