super fun morning with the 2 surfer Dentists!  i’ve been surfing with Fujimoto-san for 8 years already.  this guy only surfs when he comes to Hawaii which is pretty cool!  loving the waves and loving the life…and loving the smile… Hino-san has been coming to Hawaii often but today was his very first surf session.  and after the long and perfect rides he was getting today, i’m sure it won’t be his last surf session… usually people are nervous on their first session, but not this man! Fujimoto-san and i have been catching huge waves these past few years, so today was pretty easy for him… Hino-san will be riding some huge waves someday because i’m pretty sure he’s a newborn surfer that will be surfing when he comes to Hawaii from now on. 2 very happy Dentists, and 2 very happy surfers.  opps, i mean 3 very happy surfers… Kaito-kun is a very young and energetic boy and come next year, i’m going to take him surfing!   and i hope to take Karen-chan surfing someday too.  this is just warming up… Father and Daughter loving the moment… Father and son loving the moment… then both families and i loving the moment in Chinatown.  thank you guys for always the most amazing time.  see you again soon…

opps, forgot to post this a while back…Japan has the best baggage delivery service.  any airport you’re at, just turn left or right when you get out of the airport and you will see baggage delivery service.  something like this costs $27 to send anywhere in Japan.  and they will wrap it up for you too.  great service.

and if you ever have a short transit in Japan, make sure you got to a kaiten sushi restaurant.  i ate all of this and was a very happy man at $27.  all this good sushi would have cost $100 in Hawaii.  happy stomach!

Winter calmness all week long…
