One door closes, another opens

We left the apartment at 9am this morning for a day of fun. We had plans, things planned out and U2 went and screwed up the whole day. Every Saturday there is a swamp meet at the Aloha Stadium. I had a list and was ready to get things taken care of before I fly home. No such luck...thanks to U2. They are in town performing at the stadium tonight so the cancelled the swap meet. So our next step was Macy's for a sale they were having, the lines were so long. Imagine being on an isolated island with only so many stores to shop at it is crazy here. Highlight of my time spent at Macy's was the sky cab. Pearlridge mall has at least two locations and there is an elevated tram that connects them for a small fee of fifty cents you can ride one way. It was well worth the money.

After a couple deep breaths we continued on our merry way eventually getting up to the North Shore and all of the traffic that brings. On Friday the two week period where the Pipemaster surf competition can take place started. So basically now until Dec. 20th there will be days with good waves and the competition will occur. Today's waves weren't too shabby but the competition was not in session. We did go to Pipeline beach with a bunch of other people to watch the waves.

After a long day, we were out of the house for 8 hours we finally got back to do some homework and watch Christmas movies.
