Yes dad, it’s a real submarine OK – so I’m heading to Waikiki and Oahu with my family (two boys – 8 and 6) and my lovely wife. What to do? Of course we planned on spending time on the beach, heading to the north shore (no waves in June… doh!) and enjoying the multitude [...]

Let me start off by saying I am not a huge Harry Potter fan. I’ve read the books, but until recently I’d never bought any of them (all borrowed from friends). I mostly have seen the movies on tv. Of my friends and colleagues, I am the exception not the rule. I am not going [...]

Toula on holiday near Bridgeport, California I have a very large dog. How large? Well, when I walk down the streets of San Francisco I hear people say things like, “wow, that’s a big dog.” I also hear a lot of “does she come with a saddle?” and “que caballo!” and “Scooby Doooooo!”.
