 I'm back home after a wonderful holiday. We escaped the Canberra winter for a week of Hawai'ian summer; the images tell the story. We left Canberra on the afternoon of a cold, cloudy, drizzling day. 18 hours later we were in wonderful, warm Hawai'i. The views from my window at home and from our room at the Prince Waikiki could hardly be more different. From the Prince, I had great views of the boats in the Marina, ships entering and leaving Honolulu harbour, aircraft landing and taking off from the airport (just behind the beach at the top of the picture) and people surfing, sailing and canoeing. That window was heaven for this small bear. However, we had to come home again and the next morning the view out my home window showed fog and heavy frost all morning. No wonder some people run away and become beachcombers.
