Guest guest Posted April 7, 2007 Report Share Posted April 7, 2007 Aloha everyone! I am back – well I got back last night, but I have spent some time in bed, some time doing chores and some time looking at things I have purchased. I was bad, went a bit overboard in Sepohora & MAC buying cosmetics (Achilles heel) and some new clothes (absolute essential so doesn't count on the credit card bill). All I can say is that if you are planning to go to the US – take a buddy with you that likes to eat cause I wasted so much with every meal. I just couldn't eat even the appetiser on my own and it was frustrating only because of the $$ that I saw going in the bin. After the second day I was grilling the waiter on how big a certain dish was etc. I had mastered the art of breakfast by dining in our hotel that had a `side dish' menu and would order one poached egg and either bacon or sausage and was always able to tolerate that. Every other meal I picked and stretched and prodded and took home left overs only to toss them the next day etc. Oh well. The most important thing (to me anyway) was that I didn't gain – nor did I loose On the Wednesday I walked up Diamond Head – Cherie can vouch for this – it is not for the feint hearted, it is quite a steep hike up for about an hour. I managed it with a bit of sweat and puffing – but 3 years ago when I started this journey I wouldn't have even considered doing the walk up that hill, heck I wouldn't have probably even bothered taking my pasty fat butt to Hawaii to begin with! In any case, I am in absolute love with wasabi macadamia nuts (delish) and junior mints still taste great or and don't start me on Oreo cookies...

Guest guest Posted April 7, 2007 Report Share Posted April 7, 2007 Wonderful to see you back . I know what you mean about the American meals, and always with so many choices!!! The feeling of triumph must have been wonderful when you reached the top of Diamond head. I look forward to seeing the pics and hearing all about it. Anne -- No virus found in this incoming message.
