After a long day at airports and on planes yesterday I am now in Hawai'i staying at a hostel just outside Honolulu. The climate is quite a contrast to what I've had recently. Utah, Colorado and Nevada were dry, bright and cold on the whole. Here it is hot and humid. So I am getting all my cold weather clothes washed and relegated to the bottom of the suitcase.
I think the next few days will be much more like a holiday with less trekking around to see the sights. I went shopping early this morning to try to beat the heat but it was already very hot at 9am. I've spent most of the rest of the morning reading travel magazines on the verandah, where you can watch little lizards and unusual birds.
This is one of the more basic and shabby hostels I've stayed at but somehow that doesn't matter as much when it's warm and sunny. It is also almost empty which makes things very relaxed - no competition for showers, kettles or washing machines.
I just spotted a headline about snow in the UK!
