Hawaii!
Landed yesterday in Honolulu and rode back to my friend, Blake's house in the middle of the island. Much of the island is truly beautiful, but I was also surprised by the areas that are kinda flat and dry - I expected 100% lushness. We drove up to the North Shore and went snorkling - my first time with a snorkel in my mouth ( say NOTHING!!!). Today we are going on a helicopter tour of the waterfalls of the island, and tomorrow we're going on a submarine.
In other news, I will be eating Ramen Noodles for the rest of the year...
OH, and UCSF finally got their SHIT together and sent me my Employment Verification Letter. This was holding me back from signing a lease, and they were just dragging their heals on the whole thing. Not like I need a place to live once I loose the free travel nurse housing or anything... Idiots...
Finally, I'm TRULY bummed that I'll be missing Avenue Q this evening - was quite looking forward to seeing the show with everyone, and may try to get some tix for later. In the meantime, maybe I can drown my sorrows in some swanky Waikiki Beach bar or somethin'.... :)
