Not sure why they spell it that way but who am i to fly in the face of tradition? All you poor Aussies will be able to do this real soon now, once Americans stop buying ipads, later in May perhaps. Decided to buy the little dock/keyboard gadget for the kitchen. It helps with fingerprints and my typing too.
We had a bit of this and that for dinner and the day was like that too. I woke about 1 am, partly because I had gone to bed too early afte my exertions on Diamond Head and partly anger at the theft of our SD card. Gave me time to catch up on blogging but meant I slept in past the best time to visit Pearl Harbor. Not that it mattered much as we sailed past the exit (not really signposted) and decided then to drive the Paui Hwy. This took us over and then through the spine of mountains separating the southern and north shores of Oahu.
It was a lovely drive yesterday and just as good the other direction. And we had a camera this time. The road lead to Waikiki. After some time wasting cruising for dodgy parking spots the driver decided to park at the vast underground free carpark at Ala Moana, the largest outdoor mall in the ..... you know. Since it was so close Tess thought we should pop in to the Apple shop to see if the case had arrived. Alas, they were sold out so she cleverly suggested purchasing the dock/keyboard for the ipad, noting that any new imac we might be n the future would come with a blutooth keyboard anyway and the dock would work well in the kitchen.
After lunch in Macy's we joined the afternoon traffic on Ala Moana Boulevard and headed west back to Ko Olina. The traffic was slow as predicted but rapid by F3 standards alltough the gas guzzler/Explorer chimed a warning (don't you love them?) that we were empty in 30 miles. This took us off the trusyt H1 west and into suburbia. I have pinched a shot from the net of the scenery we passed. We did eventually find civilization and a Chevron and after some assistance, filled the
tank. We then wasted a gallon touring the industrial heart of this area (see pic) before backtracking to our final destination and dinner, made from leftovers from yesterday's prime rib doggie bag.So a hotchpotch of a day but not unenjoyable.
What do you think of the ipad dock?

Sounds like a pleasant day, Rob. The dock is subtle, and I'm sure it will enhance the usefulness of the pad. One thing that confuses me is the aspect ratio; in so many photos they look square? Strange!
