ALOHA! I have made it to Honolulu where the sun is shining bright and the water is warm. Unfortunately my luggage got lost in the shuffle and I have no swim suit--yet. So I am left to stare longingly at the sea and lather on the sun screen since it is very hot. I went and visited the Honolulu Zoo and with a little more luck I think I will get some good pictures of the hippos there tomorrow--today no one seemed to be of help so I am keeping my fingers crossed for the upcoming days.
Yesterday I managed to be in New Zealand, Australia, Fiji, Samoa AND Honolulu all in the SAME day...Don't you just love time zones? Anyways, I was supposed to go from New Zealand to Australia to Honolulu, but missed my connection (more about that later--don't worry, I wasn't late, a woman on my flight had a medical problem!) and was rerouted which turned my day into a LONG day of traveling. I arrived this morning and can't believe that I am still going since I have had hardly any sleep. But now I've been to Fiji and Samoa, both of which I would love to spend time in and see during the day! I was holding back a few tears on my departure from Auckland, but have to admit the Honolulu has brightened my mood :)
Anyways, more details will follow but for now I am off to find something to eat!

About Me
- Sarah Louise Galbraith
- Joined at the Hippo is an around-the-world travelogue created by Sarah Louise Galbraith, a photographer from Arizona. Sarah traveled on her own to 33 countries across the world from January 2004 - January 2005 photographing as many hippos in zoos as possible. What for? The photos are being hand-painted onto porcelain dinner service by Royal Copenhagen Porcelain. Juggling a strict itinerary (every four days was a new city ), she hassled taxi drivers, struggled with languages (what's hippo in Mandarin??), quizzed locals and bribed zoo keepers through 101 of the world's best and worst zoos. Her encounters ranged from frightening (hippo attacks in Kyoto and muggings in Warsaw ), to hilarious (meeting with hippo fanatics at the annual Hippolotofus Convention in Seattle). Sarah now works at National Geographic in Washington, D.C.
