Tonight? Hawaii

In 9 hours we will be lounging on beaches in the beautiful Hawaii! (Or realistically just dragging ourselves to the hotel very late and leaving very early without ever seeing the sun) and then off to Australia to see our family for the first time in years as well as everything on Ryan’s list (the Opera House, Wallaby Way, and a Kangaroo). We’ll visit an old friend and some more family in Canberra, and then down to my fathers childhood home in Cooma. We will get to meet my Grandpa’s new cats and admire the gum trees.
We will say hello to our neighbor blue-tongue lizard, admire the toys I left when I was 8, then turn around to head to Vanuatu.
For now I should get back to wrestling my luggage into a tiny suitcase. Ryan did end up getting the sandals!
