Mnnnng Mnnnng mnnnnning


I really like Hawaiian music! Perhaps I'm just tired.


3 days on Waikiki beach.


Sea is like a warm, salty, bath.


It's only 20degs..... at night. I could get used to this....

Shame we have to go on to NZ at all really.

The happiest place on earth (or your money back?)

Blimey it's big! Almost as big as the breakfasts we enjoy at the hotel.
Kids had no idea what they were in for. Ash is just the right age to get the most out of it. He was scared witless by some of the coasters but came out grinning. India was terrified by the star tours ride. Kate and I spent
the subsquent ten minutes explaining

"no darling we did not blow up the death star... no we are not now members of the rebel alliance... darth vader is not comming to get you"

As you see however, she loved all the little kids stuff and still had a great time.

We saw the pirates of the carribean "show" which was excellent, the guy who played Capn' Jack was spot on.

Ash was inducted into Jedi training. Check his blog to see him kicking Darth Maul out of the galaxy.

Favourite Moment:
Seeing a "Yam Solo" Mr potato head.

Disney Land Bound on the 9th

Couple of nights at my mothers and we're off!

My brother took us to the airport. He was on the phone the whole time, working. I wonder if it was to take his mind of what was going on?

He gave me a wrapped photo frame before he dashed of, dropped it into a suitcase and forgot about it.

Emotional goodbye to mum and dad.

House Sale Completed 8 November,

Key chain is very light.

No house, a very strange feeling.

Last day was more stressfull than I could ever have imagined, not for any real reason, I guess it's the finality and all that. Kate and I both look a bit shell shocked.

Had a final pint at Danny's and met Gareth, Steve, Carol, Gillian and Kelly.

Lots of unwelcome feelings, thought it would be easier than this.

Packing House.7th 8th November.



Packed up the house!




Packers were late, but they were a nice bunch of lads. Everything was boxed, I mean EVERYTHING! If it wasn't cemented in place it was wrapped and boxed. I spent most of Tuesday running around saying "don't pack that it's crap!"
Discovered how much crap we actually still owned.

Left the kettle, phone and kitchen bins.

Even after several trips to the dump the previous weekend we still had to do a couple on Wednesday.

The container turned up the following day, and it was an extremely stressful few hours while they tried to finish and load it.

The driver gave me a hard time "Not another one off to New Zealand, bloody plonkers leaving left right and center etc etc". He then revealed that he lived in Ireland! Long commute.
