i just went through the 5000 or so photos from our trip and all i have
to say that it’s been a long 2 weeks since i left hawaii. so many good
memories and so many great experiences. just as you think you’ve been
thought it all, more things come your way. this group was the toughest
groups i’ve been with and i still can’t believe nobody threw up. haha.
putting these trips together is a lot of work but when it’s all said and
done, it’s worth every minute. i’m going to start planning for next
years trip and the bummer thing is only 11 lucky people can go. i’m
still smiling about our last day of the trip when it was sunny and the
waves were perfect. we had the spot to ourselves and the waves couldn’t
have been any better. then towards the end, it was just zuccho and
myself trading waves with nobody out. you couldn’t have asked for a
better way to end a trip.
traveling is a part of my life. i just can’t get enough and where will
i go next? your guess is just as good as mine. i’ll go home and look
at my world map, point out somewhere, and that’s where i will go. but
for now, i’m going to get on my airplane, sip on a champagne, say a
cheers to all the people i’ve spent time with this past 2 weeks, say
“otsukaresama desu,” and go to sleep. and when i open my eyes, i’ll be
back to my beautiful paradise island called “HAWAII.”
