Yuen Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 Awesome! Which island? I can give you a few tips if you want. Oahu. Tips would be great! (Although we've been to Hawaii before for a couple of weeks 2 years ago) Quote Current Challenge Battle Log Link to post
Endor Posted May 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 Oahu. Tips would be great! (Although we've been to Hawaii before for a couple of weeks 2 years ago)Ah ok, lots of shopping, eating and surfing then We like to eat at Nobu but it's expensive so it depends on your budget. I also like to have a burger in Cheeseburgers in Paradise, it's so kitch! If you don't want hotel buffet food there's a place called eggs n things (i think) that does more typical aussie breakfast style stuff. The quality had dropped off a bit last time we were there though. I think Waikiki is the best place to learn to surf, nice long slow rolling waves and you can hire a board right off the beach. Have a lesson if you haven't surfed before and I recommend buying some booties if you're going surfing, there is some coral there and it just gave me a bit more confidence to know my feet had some protection. Also if you have any it's a good idea to wear some cycling shorts under your boardies and a rash vest is a must, else you'll end up with a nasty rash from the foam boards. It's worth hiring a car and having a drive round the island. You can do the whole thing in a day. I haven't managed to get up there yet but everyone has recommended a walk up to Diamond Head and if you can afford it a helicopter ride is supposed to be fantastic up there too. Wish I was going with you Quote Endor, LVL 40 Half-Elf Ranger PR and Motivation Log | Current Battle Log Current Challenge (Jan 2021) Link to post
BarefootDawsy Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 I vote we meet up in Hawaii at the end of May (Yuen's shout?)....otherwise June 5th works for me too... Any thoughts on venue? 1 Quote BAREFOOT DAWSY Scout Commander Scout - Level 7 Link to post
Suguru Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 Sadly I think I will have to opt out of this one - I'm on a very busy rotation at the moment and I have my next OSCE in early June so I don't think a night out is a very good idea at this stage. I hope you all have an excellent time though! (Oh and Dominic, I started the armstrong pullup program this week - I'll let you know how it goes!) 1 Quote Level 4 Halfling Ranger "I see the girl running, with no shoes on her feet, jumping shade to shadow, in this deafening heat." - Passenger Link to post

No worries, there will be another one Best of luck with the OSCE, I'm sure you'll fly through! Let me know how you go with Armstrong, I'll be very interested. I hurt my forearm and had to stop but I want to give it another go at some point.

Any thoughts on venue?Venue....hmmm, your idea of the Arthouse could be a good idea. Ever tried this place? I've never been but heard good things... http://www.redoak.com.au/ Else been here a few times and it's very good...little bit further afield from transport though. http://www.au.timeout.com/sydney/bars/venues/2136/the-local-taphouse Somewhere near Central would be handy but I'm not that familiar with that area.

BarefootDawsy Posted May 16, 2014 Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 Those both look good too...mmm beer. Another place is the pumphouse near the Ent Cent...pricey but good Quote BAREFOOT DAWSY Scout Commander Scout - Level 7 Link to post

Another place is the pumphouse near the Ent Cent...pricey but goodI'm glad you said that, I'm staying in the novotel tonight which I think the pumphouse is part of, would be rude not to sample their offerings Quote Endor, LVL 40 Half-Elf Ranger PR and Motivation Log | Current Battle Log Current Challenge (Jan 2021) Link to post
BarefootDawsy Posted May 17, 2014 Report Share Posted May 17, 2014 Don't forget to take a Dawsy bag home for me 1 Quote BAREFOOT DAWSY Scout Commander Scout - Level 7 Link to post
Endor Posted May 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 Didn't even make it into the pumphouse, just peeped through the window, looks ok though. Executive decision is:Red Oak. Thurs 5th June6:30pm I have booked a table for 4, we can add extras nearer the time if our numbers swell! I'm game for a pint in the Arthouse on Pitt St before if you want as well.

BarefootDawsy Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 Lock it in, Endie. Will have to check wifey's movements to get there much earlier than 6:30, but I'll keep you posted. 1 Quote BAREFOOT DAWSY Scout Commander Scout - Level 7 Link to post

Endor Posted May 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2014 Just realised this time it's a 2 week gap between challenges, which means our meetup will be on a rest week Quote Endor, LVL 40 Half-Elf Ranger PR and Motivation Log | Current Battle Log Current Challenge (Jan 2021) Link to post
BarefootDawsy Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 Still just 3 of us going? Think we'll have to do a field trip to Melbourne one of these days... Quote BAREFOOT DAWSY Scout Commander Scout - Level 7 Link to post
Endor Posted May 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 Yeah just the 3 of us so far. Field trip would be fun, I'd be up for that. Quote Endor, LVL 40 Half-Elf Ranger PR and Motivation Log | Current Battle Log Current Challenge (Jan 2021) Link to post
