New Arrivals

Look at us! Don't we stand out like a sore thumb!

This is me and my gorgeous girlfriend, Sarah. We arrived in Hawaii, rather, Honolulu on the 7th of May 2008. On first glance, loved it although have to admit, not what I had expected. The place was nothing short of awesome!

This photo was taken on the famous Waikiki Beach.

We were warned that customs were really strict and that they wouldn't let us into the USA if we did not have a place to stay upon arrival, so we had to book a hostel between flights on our way into Hawaii just in case they just pointed us back in the direction from which we came! I also was told that I needed a visa as I had a dangerous driving charge 10 years ago, so I was not elligable for the visa waiver programe so I got one only to be asked by customs upon arrival "Why did you get a visa? You didn't need that." What a waste of time and money! That visa was supposed to make it easier for me but instead caused more trouble. The only benefit was that I could stay longer, up to a year as opposed to 3 months on the waiver.
