Day #11: Last Day of the Year

Happy New Year!

I woke up as my Mom and Ashley left to go shopping in Honolulu for the day, leaving the menfolk behind at the condo, vehicle-less. Sometime around noon we walked into town to get some lunch, we had some pasta at a New York style pizza and pasta place. It was pretty good, we then looked in some shops for shorts for my brother. While looking in these stores my brother finally managed to get me the wallet he owed me for Christmas. Huzzah for a new wallet! We then walked back to the condo. We watched a bit of Casino Royale until the two girls got back. We then went to Cholos for dinner. It was good, but I wasn't feeling to good. When we got back we headed out onto the beach where LinZ set off some fireworks (I think it's important to point out that fireworks are way more accessible here then in the lower mainland. The air is literally thick with smoke and the smell of gunpowder. (WARZONE!)). After watching some brightly coloured chemical reactions we came back up and watched a but of Troy. At about quarter to midnight we went back down and set off the rest of the fireworks. Just before midnight I started phoning my friends and wishing them a Happy New Year, many of them sounded pleasantly sloshed, one of them was asleep (sorry Ange) and some of them hadn't even known I was out of the country (Also some of them didn't answer their bloody phones, but it's their loss I suppose).

Again, Happy New Year.
