Las Vegas and Hawaii, U.S.A.

I know it has been quiet even though I said that I would start up the blog
again in the new year, but its been so hectic.
Two days ago I tried to have a quiet day in Las Vegas, to save money
and slept through the morning but then during the afternoon the music
from the Fremont Street Experience right outside my paper thin wall
was soo loud that I couldn't concentrate on anything.
Then last night I planned on doing a bit after I got back from the
Grand Canyon, as it was advertised as a 12 hour hotel to hotel
excursion ... only it ended up being more like 17 hours and I was
totally shattered when I got back after 11pm and once again the music
was too loud to sleep.
Today I had to get up early to catch a flight over to Honolulu,
Hawaii, and as there were so many things to do here and so little time
I went to a travel agents the second I got settled in and booked up
some trips.
Tomorrow I am out most of the day visiting the highlights of the
Island of O'ahu, then the next day I am going for another long full
day visiting the Polynesian cultural centre, watching hula dancing,
trying traditional foods, etc and then the day after I am going to
visit the Pearl Harbour museum and centre in the morning and in the
afternoon I am going a twilight cruise ( which would be so much more
romantic if I wasn't alone, but it should still be good fun and worth
going on).
All the cost for all the trips, including pick up and drop off from my
hostel, entry and meals total only around £150 and there are so many
more things I could do if I only had more time here.
The weather is great, the people are friendly, the place looks modern
and tidy, the beach is nearby, the prices are less than in the UK so
all in all I think it could be quite a great place to visit.
Sadly I wont have time to do my surf lessons in Maui, visit the other
islands ( including the one with the worlds most active volcano ),
snorkel, take a helicopter ride, watch a magic show, watch a flaming
knife dance, etc, etc, etc ( you get the point, there is just sooooooo
much to do here ) but then I blame the airline who moved my flight
back by a day and a half !!!
