Meh

• Maintained the same weight for another year (second year running) thanks to personal trainer

• Watched the Earthquakes loose a lot of matches

Not so good

• Woke up in the wrong home on New Years Day with the worst hangover.  Nice place Matt!
• Didn’t get in any snowboarding (second year running)
• Can’t sell the condo, so renting it out.

So overall this was simply an amazing year, what will 2010 hold?

Ice!

We took a short break from work before embarking on our house move.  Four days in Maui as just what we needed.  This was the first time I’d been to Hawaii.

What I didn’t know was that the Hawaiian state flag has the Union Flag in the corner.  Apparently this is due to some assistance from Great Britain to restore order to the islands a few hundred years back.
