Message for SD: I think for the early game we have found that you and I will be the last players each turn, but if you can get the turn to roll by 2200 UTC (2300 British summer time) then I should be able to play my turn that night rather than the next morning. This should allow us to squeeze in an extra turn per day for the next 2-3 weeks (Pins Hawaiian vacation notwithstanding).
I can sure try, but i cannot promise to be off by 5pm my time. Work 7:30am-3:30(to as late as 6pm outside of winter times)
"Superdeath seems to have acquired a rep for aggression somehow. In this game that's going to help us because he's going to go to the negotiating table with twitchy eyes and slightly too wide a grin and terrify the neighbors into favorable border agreements, one-sided tech deals and staggered NAPs."

I checked out of my hotel right before the turn rolled and won't be able to play today. I gave Mjmd instructions in case he can take the turn but if not I'll be able to get to it in about 24hrs
It was all right. To be honest, I don't think I'm a beach type of person. I'm more of a mountains. I want to be out doing things on vacations and it's rather hard for me to just sit still. But I had some help: i got sick the day after I arrived and so Mon-Wed I was really short of energy and slept a lot. But my brother would still come by in the afternoon to pick me up and drag me around, even on days where I couldn't do much more than an hour and then fall asleep in his car.
Still managed to get some good pictures out of it:
View from the hotel balcony:
Went on a run down the beach from Waikiki, this is looking back towards Waikiki:
This is a random beach on the eastern side of the island on the second night. My mom wanted a sunset photo but we were on the wrong side of the island for that:
After I started to feel better we went on a hike up Koko point, on the southeast corner of the island. A couple shots from the top, with my brother in the last one:
After the hike he took me to a beach with a lot of surfing. Not quite like the famous waves on the north shore, but these waves got pretty good as the evening came on:
And then on the last day we had time to stop by the Valley of the Temples and visit the buddhist temple there:
The pictures don't really capture it, but i was struck by how grand the mountains looked. Just how imposing and steep they were. Especially the mountainsides behind the buddhist temple. I tried taking some photos but they didn't seem to capture it all. They almost looked like curtains the way they backdropped the temple.
