• Saw a man walking his parrot this morning. We don't walk our parrots in Idaho.
  • At the 40th annual ukulele festival. Just had a uke lesson. Very cool.
  • I've seen a bicycle with a surf board rack, a fire engine pulling a yacht & a bronzed old man with muscles like a dinosaur. We're in Hawaii!
  • Hong Kong airport. Free wifi. Chai. Lounge chairs. Kids craft area (gate24). Kids potties. English books. Love it! Gotta board the plane now
  • Hong Kong! There's just something about the fresh air and convenient transportation (Octopus card!) that makes my travel weary body smile.
