Waikiki, 1/2/2013

After about 56 hours of traveling and being awake with about 6 hours of fitful sleep on planes and airport benches I finally crashed around 11:30pm last night.  I have not slept that un-interrupted in a long time. I usually feel very rested when I wake, but often wake a small noises and go quickly back to sleep.  Last night i barely registered when two people came back, I have been told around 4, from the bars.  Its an odd dreamlike memory.  Woke again around 9 from a phone call, but didnt answer and back to sleep till around 1.  13+ hours and today I feel great.  Only worried I wont be able to fall asleep until late and fall into a whacked sleep cycle.
After getting up late I made a determined effort to find a place to stay.  And succes.  A little more than I wanted, but I think my initial sites where affected by what i am sure were fake listings that had low prices to draw people in.  From hotels and what not the $60 a night that i am paying now for a glorified hotel room with a small kitchen seems pretty good.  The cheapest hostel on the island is $30 for a 6 person dorm, so $60 seems pretty good.  I will be moving tomorrow afternoon and then the job hunt will start in earnest.
I got another email from UH today so i am hoping that they are back from the holiday break and going to start things sooner than later.  Also going to start hunting for mma gyms and get training again as soon as possible, i dont want things excellent physique grown in thaland to wither away on me like it did when i moved to china 5 years ago.
Also got a very nice run in today.  Hawaii has some nice landscape and good places to  run.  soon as I can start to get a better feel for this place i look foward to hitting some trails and getting off the roads for my runs.
Thats all i got for being up for 7 hours, hopefully i will have a longer day tomorrow.
