Sobriety on Oahu

It feels like soooo long ago since I was chasing Quebecoise all over Montreal. Now I'm sitting outside of Safeway, eating up their free wi-fi, with my eyes set on a prize in Victoria, British Columbia. My how things change.

I've been away from this blog thing for quite some time and there is quite a bit of catching up to do but put simply I'm covered in red dirt, on and island on an island and feeling like I'm doing hard time.

I've also developed, serendipitously, a pretty obtainable goal of visiting all 50 states. Not to sure what to call the ones I've only driven through. Does driving through entail a visit? Or do I have to relieve myself for it to "stick"? Hmmm? Anyway, I've only got a few to go considering I've gotten the 2 non-contiguous states out of the way. I've also had Amazon.com ship products to me in both Hawaii and Alaska.

Other notes on Hawaii: sunscreen is toxic stuff, stuff is expensive, tropical fruit is not readily available ANYWHERE in America (Unless, of course, you're willing to SPEND), and pakalolo is Hawaiian for the jolly green mood alterer.
