iPad

What a great day. It's late and I am playing with my new iPad watching a star trek movie (on tele) in our luxury unit in the Marriott Ko Olina time-share resort. The day started early with a drive to the heliport and my spectacular flight over Maui and Molokai. Then the boring long wait for the flight to Oahu where we collected our enormous ford explorer and headed to the world's largest out door shopping centre on Ala Moana Boulevard. It was packed in the Apple store but I adopted my mother's approach and acted as though I was an important customer who needed immediate attention. I hailed a staff member and said i had booked a personal shopping appointment online from Maui for 4 pm (miraculously we had arrived on time) and he scurried off to check. Despite finding no evidence of my booking (the only spot available had been the day before) he good naturedly served us and over the next 70 minutes (10 minute demo, 60 minute US iTunes account set-up) got my iPad working.
Poor Tess has had a day o waiting - for my heliflight to end, for the plane to Oahu and in the Apple shop. She's pooped. The good news is, gin makes a good substitute for Galliano in a Golden Dream cocktail so we are finally making inroads into our duty free litre of Cointreau - note to self; forget duty free into US as it's cheap here anyway. The bottle tried to leak too and we have one waiting for our return at Mascot so somehow we will have to drink it. The gin seems to be going down without trouble.
Don't you love holidays:))))
