The best view…

A lifetime memory.

Good morning 4:50am.
North shore head high and good.
Ala Moana waist high and fun.
Diamond Head chest high and bumpy.
Trade winds at 25mph getting stronger today.
Sun, showers, and rainbows.
Going to the sea.
Have a wonderful day!

The great thing about traveling is you experience the local lifestyle.  Just keep on walking and walking and you will enter side streets.  Sometimes a little scary but you just have to be vigilant.  Keep your phone in your pocket, don’t wear expensive jewelry, and just try to blend in.  Most places I go, everybody’s trying to speak to me in the Filipino language.  That means I’m doing a good job blending in.  Haha.  If I had blonde hair and blue eyes, I’d never enter the dark streets late a night.

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday are my normal walking days in Hawaii.  I’ll be lucky to take 200 steps.  Saturday I was walking mostly through airports.  Sunday was my first full day in the Philippines.  17,402 step is my lifetime record for a day.

Knowing you can find a 90 minute massage everywhere you go helps.  At just $15, you can get one everyday.  Then get ready for many more steps to come.  

Enough airplanes and transits for me.  I don’t want to go anywhere anytime soon.  

I had a great trip but the only stress I had was getting stuck in Guam.

Here is Kimura-san years ago surfing his favorite spot Medewi.  Speaking about Medewi, I just read an article that the Medewi locals made a new rule.  They no longer allow beginners in the lineup unless you’re with a surf guide.  That’s a great idea!  So now you have Cloud 9 in the Philippines, and Medewi in Indonesia.  Where’s next?
