Preparing roast duck.

Good morning 4:10am.
Ala Moana knee high and clean waves but dirty water.
Diamond Head waist high and bumpy.
Trade winds at 20mph.
Sun, showers, and rainbows.
Going to the sea.
Have a wonderful day!

I love going to Indonesia but don’t love the travel time coming back.  You’re literally spending 2 nights in an airplane.  

Thankfully, the I Gusti Ngurah Rai airport is very clean, cool, and efficient.  My fear was falling asleep at the airport and missing my midnight flight.  

Trying to sleep on the 7 hour flight to Korea isn’t easy when the airplane is completely full.  And looking at this map seems like you’re going the opposite way of Hawaii.

For those of you who don’t know, Google Maps and Apple Maps don’t work good in Korea.  Good luck getting around on that.  

So basically I just walked around looking for good food.  

This was my brunch.  Noodle soup with dumplings.  It only cost $6.

Took a nap at a $13 hotel room.  Then headed out for dinner.

This delicious grilled lamb was only $18.  

Then a taxi back to the airport and another overnight flight back home.  

Korean Airlines is one of my favorite airlines.  Good food, very clean, great service, and comfortable seats.  When I landed in Hawaii, I was so excited to be back home.

It was a picture perfect day!  I heard it was raining and flooding for the past 2 weeks?  Really?  That’s hard to believe.

Lucky March Indo swell. I wasn’t expecting this at all. Sometimes you score and sometimes you don’t. This is surfing and that’s what I love about it. I came to Bali with no expectations so this is all a bonus for me. It takes 4 days of traveling to get here and back to Hawaii. Was it worth it? Always!

Only a surfer knows the feeling…
