Even with my own laptop and wireless Internet access at the house, I'm still hesitant to post updates. I guess I'm now too accustomed to having privacy when I write these entries. Come to think of it, I don't really update from work much either.

So I'm here at the Honolulu International Airport Interisland terminal, waiting for my flight to Maui to board in an hour. I don't have much of a plan for Maui. I'm going to see Haleakala. I'll probably see Lahaina. I think maybe even a drive around the island is order. I don't have enough time for the Hana Highway. But I'm leaving this trip incredibly wide open.

What have I done so far since arriving in Honolulu?

Well, I shopped for Japanese CDs on Wednesday morning. I bought new shoes from the Navy Exchange (discounted, no tax.)

On Thursday,I bought some very expensive coffee for Double-A from a shop all the way in Haleiwa. I had some really good Thai food, and I found out my teeth are in really bad shape.

This morning, I bought some more CDs — two Super Junky Monkey titles! — failed to find a gay travel guide at Barnes & Noble, showed up way too early for Nippon Video to open and got some malasadas.

Now I'm heading to Maui to a hotel with no wireless Internet connection. Man, am I cheap.

I think I'll pass the time with some UNO now.
