July 8th, the second time in 2016, cause I crossed the international date line.  In fiji the internet apparently doesn't like devices that aren't cell phones, cause I couldn't get thru.  Well that's my excuse, and I'm sticking to it.    but I couldn't get connected.  So now I'm back in the usa, Hawaii this time.  And the internet is working for free at the cheap hostel, not a regular hotel where I had problems getting connected.  Another stupid happening was when I made my reservation for this hostel for July ,,8th. It went thru just fine .  When I woke up yesterday in Fiji, radically repacked do wouldn't have to pay Fiji airlines another over weight fee.  Yesterday was July 8,th.  Flew to Samoa and layed over a jour got a special examination of the plane cause we were flying into the usa.  Landed in Honolulu about,12:30 am, but, for me, that was the nite of July 8t.h, even though technically it was the next day.  Bit between Samoa and Hawaii we crossed the international date line, so I was going to live thru July 8th the second time.  Did you notice that I was going to do over July 8th.  But all the folks in Hawaii, didn't get that privelege because they were already in Hawaii, and. They didn't do July 8,th twice.    Their sequence was July ,,5,6,7,8,9...  so when I showed up at the hostel the desk clerk became perplexed with me.  For he was working the nite shift of July 7th.  I had arrived one day later for me July 8th, the first one. Well they were fully booked, and there was no room for me. Do he thinking fast put my luggage in the hostel office, gave me a pillow, blanket and a hammock in the side yard.   About eleven I was given my bed in the four bed room, showered and went to investigate the town.   The hostel is half a block from the Pacific Ocean and the waves were coming in pretty strongly.  Had McD big bkfst, and strolled the beach.  Then walked the Wiakiki area of Honolulu. Am tired, and will finish updating this blog tomarrow.
