What's wrong with me?

In preparation for all you can eat pancakes, I was going to wake up early, hit the gym so that I could burn off the calories before I eat them. Well I slept too long. So we got the pancakes. Three big pancakes. Off we go. I finished mine and my mango smoothie. There was a time when members of my family sat down and worked out the formula to how you should eat when challenged with all you can eat. It was the total space of an empty stomach + a salad that you eat to make you feel better + the contents of two unwanted desserts, always Including hundreds and thousands, + four mini bread rolls that you never really wanted. How this relates to pancakes I don't know, but I hung my head in shame when I couldn't even get a second plateful. Annette didn't even finish her first plate. We may get kicked out of the family.
We then did some washing (something I bet the kids haven't done). That's when I hit the gym. Not easy on the treadmill trying to burn off just the maple syrup alone. That done we actually did something touristy and headed off to Iolani Palace. Tour done it was off to more shops, our regular 5pm lunch, followed by shops, a bus and finally dinner. The good news is that I'm back. The California Pizza Kitchen got me in form. If you're ever here, try the tostada pizza. Lettuce on a pizza? No way. But in a great Top Chef moment, it worked. We went for a walk after dinner and found that there is a beach nearby. Who would have known?
