If you’re reading this on Saturday, April, 14, I’m on my way to the Big Island of Hawaii. I have a lot of photos from my day at the Getty Museum in LA up on Flickr. I’ll have a write-up, hopefully, sometime tomorrow. I should be putting up my first videos next week from Hawaii. …
Well, my Tokelau dreams have been shattered. The boat isn’t leaving until Saturday now. That would mean sitting around Samoa for most of this week still and then waiting another week for the plane to Tonga when I get back. I want to visit Tokelau, but not that bad. I’ll have to put that off …
I’m still in Melbourne. My debit card expires on February 29, which is tomorrow. My parents sent my new card to me about two weeks ago and it still hasn’t arrived. If it doesn’t show up in the next two days, I’m really going to be up a creek without a paddle. I will have …
