This morning was so fun.  The conditions were so smooth and perfect!

And the sunrise was amazing.  First time surfing in Hawaii and you get to see this.  Minami-san was stoked!

The best time of the day to be enjoying the ocean.

Longest rides of his life.

And the colorful rainbow with the Minami-san happy smile.

I spent the afternoon down at the yacht club doing maintenance.  I’m learning something new everyday and I enjoy the challenge.  And enjoying saving a lot of money too.

A few weeks ago, I was checking tickets to Japan for my trip in March.  I wanted to go to Kelia’s event in Osaka.  The prices for a round trip ticket was only $590.  Then yesterday when I was going to book a ticket, I logged in the same dates and guess what?  The price went up to $2,235.13!!!  OMG, I thought there was a mistake or something.  What’s happening in March for the tickets to be so expensive?  I can buy a ticket around the world for that price.  This is the most expensive I’ve ever seen in my 36 years of traveling.  Oh well, it’s not looking like I’m going to Japan anymore.

Blue paradise.
