Aloha...

So, on the flip of a coin, I've decided to leave my beloved San Diego and head over to Hawaii. The decision was made within 2 days of mulling it over and contemplating wether to go to 1) Texas (which I hear is pretty amazing from fellow travellers), 2) stay in California, Pacific Coast OR 3) head out to the Islands... Well, I've have often said that one of my top places to tour round would be the Hawaiian islands and Polynesia. One thing I've learned in life is tomorrow might never come, so grab an opportunity with both hands if you have the chance to take it! I was sad leaving this morning, as I've grown really fond of the little San Diego crew we accumulated from all round the globe.. I'll miss my little London boys, George and Adam, who are genuinely decent people and total party animals and I'll miss the ozzy boys, Donny, Adam & Bobby who were so warm and such good fun and didn't take it too badly when I constantly got their names wrong.. Really cool memories and I just hope I can find them on Facebook
We had a bit of a debate about the Rolling Stones playing Glastonbury and I've dug out this article on the subject that may be of intest

Smell of piss at Glastonbury blamed on Rolling Stones

The smell of urine in the air during The Rolling Stones’ Glastonbury set was caused by the elderly musicians on stage and not a chemical toilet malfunction, it has been claimed.

It had been thought that the smell was caused by the high volume of people using portaloos, but it has since been claimed it was due to the high volume of urine on stage, particularly around drummer Charlie Watts.

Festival-goers who had positioned themselves close to the stage for the band’s first ever Glastonbury appearance began complaining of having ‘stinging eyes’ shortly after they took to the stage.

24 year-old Jack Lewis, who had passed out during an earlier set, revealed how he was revived when Keith Richards placed his foot on a stage monitor.

“I’d had too much to drink,” he told us.

“My friends told me that they’d tried to wake me but I was out cold.

“Fortunately, the smell of what must have been Keith Richard’s 19th nervous splashdown soon had me on my feet.

“This is the first festival I’ve been to where the band cover the audience in piss rather than the other way round.”

The Rolling Stones have released a statement claiming they were unaware of any smell apart from that of the dry ice that was used extensively during their performance.

“That wasn’t dry ice, it was piss steam,” revealed a stage technician.

I hope that clears up our debate Donny??

So I arrive in Hawaii and I feel like crap. I was out with my dorm buddies the night before the flight and was knocking back the gins Georgie Best style, to try and keep up with my drunken compadres. We rounded up the night with an early morning meal at Denny's and then i head back to the digs for a few hours sleep before I had to be up for the red eye. All I wanted was a few hours but the guy on the top bunk from me (he who shall not be mentioned), decided tonight was the night he was going to show some lucky lady a good time. I had to shout up to them to give it a rest - ha ha!! There was some exchange of words from the top bunk, like "come on Lorraine, we got here first" - it was hilarious!! Eventually they took it elsewhere and I got a total of 2 hours kip! I would have slept through my alarm if it wasn't for one of the guys waking me. I had my earplugs buried so deap in my ear and was so tired, I was sleeping through it. 

Flying into Honolulu

I've booked myself into a hotel for 2 nights, just so I can recoup and sleep off San Diego and then going to book a hostel. I've also not done any laundry for a LONG time, so aim on having some lazy down time, reading, blogging, washing my skants, catching up on Skype with friends and family and hatching a plan about what I am going to do for the next month here. I've contacted 5 workaway hosts and only two have got back to me. one to say they have no openings and the other may have something but to check back in another week. One of them is working in a Eco hippy retreat somewhere on the Big Island, collecting crystals for the Goddess tours (no shit). I really hope they have an opening as I love throwing myself into weird shit "never refuse an invitation, never resist the unfamiliar...."
