Did you miss us?

I hate my body clock. Today (after the 4th night) with the alarm set for 6.30am I woke up at 6.17am. Aaargh! That's my Sydney wake up time. Quick to dress, a few pieces of toast and it was off to the airport for our flight back to Oahu. Before we left, me and Riley (me is Mark by the way) decided we would check on the age-old question of which way the water goes down the sink in the northern hemisphere. We just couldn't remember what the outcome of that Simpsons episode was. Anyway we wanted to check if it was clockwise or anti-clockwise. We turned on the tap, watched the water and then realised that we had a problem. Our room only had a digital clock - we'll try again later. A quick 40 minute flight was followed by around 3 and a half hours waiting for our flight to San Francisco. Everybody is almost 100% with Annette almost there. We sent you blog no 2 and then went hunting for food. Annette had the big salad, Mark spicy chicken (I'm putting my stomach through a test drive) and the evil 2 had Burger King. I'm a little worried about Riley as he may be pregnant as he's eating for 2. Writing this we are 36,000 feet in the air, playing gameboys, reading about which golf clubs to waste my money on and watching the movie. Wait a minute, the headphones cost $5.00 and I'm sure this wasn't an approved budgetary item. Oh well, I guess for all the suffering she has and will put up with we can afford it. I must admit, I'm still a little confused. When we arrived they said Aloha, and when we left they said Aloha. What is it, one of those words that has two meanings or something? Anyway, Aloha, or is it Aloha? I'll let you know. More blogs on the way - we're in the most advanced country in the world and it's impossible to find Internet that works.

I think the water must go anti-clockwise because yes I was stupid enough to go check what happens here. I hope your happy, even though it has been raining non stop I should still conserve water. I guess if 4 people that I know of are currently using water from another country then it's ok for me to use a little extra in the name of science. Post again soon cause I am reading them. What day/time is it where you are?
