May 2 and a few after

The last blog seems so long ago even though it's only been six days. Since then I have flown to Hawaii, got me a place in downtown Honolulu, and vacationed a bit. Life is good and things are chill. My plans have come into fruition.

I had a layover in Seattle and got to hang out with Ruby for a couple of hours. It's good to see old friends. Good transition spent going into my new locale.

Jack Johnson's In Between Dreams album never ceases to inspire. This pic from Seattle's sculpture park is my in between dreams pic.















My first friends in Hawaii are Canadians on their 21 hour layover to New Zealand. They are going to be farmers there for one year. Best of luck to both of them.

My condo is in downtown Honolulu. I am on the tenth floor, and the view out my window is not bad at all - it's actually a botanic garden. The roommates are pretty cool people too.

It's a good life, I am Giving myself time to exhale. and will be on vacation mode until the end of the week. I am glad Karen made me pinky swear to make sure I unwind for at least five days. As much as I am compelled to start looking for a job now, I think I need this relaxation to keep a good balance.

I forgot how hard this Koko Head Crater hike is. All I remember from the last time I did it were the great photos of the scenery. I snapped this pic during one of the many long breaks I took. I had to push myself for this, hard. My legs were hurting, but it felt good once I made it to the top.










Note to self: ham & cheese is no good before going for a long hike.

Jack Johnson is right, there's no combination of words I can put in the back of a postcard.

More pics on my flickr.
