sea grapes

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..

yamari in hayama…
