Baby Luau…

267


when i flew into naha airport, i came out and there were a bunch of people with a “Okaeri” sign waiting for me. that means welcome back. i walked up to them and said “Tadaima,” which means “i’m home”. they looked at me and i could imagine what they were thinking, “who the heck is this weirdo?” haha…

for all you travelers, spend some money and go get a good suitcase. a suitcase that has 4 revolving wheels. my suitcase with everything in weights 20 kilos or 44 lbs. but when i push it around, it feels like i’m pushing nothing. i see people struggling all the time with cheap suitcases or the ones with 2 wheels. once you go 4 wheels, you will never go back. try it..

last night we had a big local okinawan style barbecue for satoru-san’s one year old daughter. in hawaii, it’s good luck to have a party or “baby luau.” in okinawa, they celebrate the same way. it amazes me how hawaii and okinawa are so alike. i think thats why i love this place..

another reason i love this place is because it’s sunny, warm, clean water, and good waves. sunabe was looking fun this morning. i just with i could of surfed instead of sitting in my hotel room all day working on my computer…
i took so many photos with my digital camera. but stupid me forgot the cable to download the photos into my computer. now you just have to wait…. gomen ne..
