so much has happened since we started our journey, we have been to so many places,and seen so much.
Hawaii (the big island) was great the house on the plantation was really great, the views from the balcony over looking the rows of coffee plants right down to the  sea.
Julia and I enjoyed being shown around by Robin who knew where all the best places to see were as he spent his youth there.

The next stop was  LA where we met up with Mike, what a nice guy; Mike met us for  breakfast and drove us around all day, it was very cold and windy and were very grateful to Mike, we ended the day with a lovely dinner.
The next day we caught a cab to Long Beach where we got on board Carnival Cruises for our trip down to Mexico.
