the flight attendant asked me in the morning “wow, how do you sleep the whole flight like that????  do you take sleeping pills???”   i told her “i do this all the time so i just follow a simple routine.  and no, i don’t do drugs.  so i’ll be your best passenger today because you won’t hear a thing from me…”

here is how i sleep the whole way on an airplane.  first, eat a nice dinner before you get on the flight.  that way, you’re stomach is happy and you don’t have to wait an hour before the food comes out after take off.  second, dress warm.  long pants, jacket, and most importantly, thick socks.  in my case, i wear 2 layers.  that way, you don’t need to keep a blanket over you the whole flight.  third, tell the flight attendant before take off, “i’m going to sleep the whole way so please don’t wake me up.   thank you.”  that way, nobody taps your head trying to wake you up for dinner.  fourth, put on a face mask.  that way your throat won’t get dry when you’re snoring.  put in ear plugs.  that way you won’t hear babies crying.  put on a eye mask.  that way you won’t get blinded when somebody opens the shutter on the window.  and last, recline you seat and enjoy the ride!!!

opps, i forgot.  make sure you use the toilet before you board the flight.  make sure you empty every single drop of pee.  that way, you can sleep the whole way through.  and opps again.  i forgot, DON’T DRINK ALCOHOL!  that way, you won’t have to pee, get dehydrated, and wake up with a hangover.  and opps opps, don’t watch a movie!  sleep the whole way to Hawaii and then you will have lots of energy on your first day!  be ready because when i say go, you “go!”  haha…

Good morning 6:20am.

Ala Moana waist high and perfect.

Diamond Head chest high and bumpy.

Trade winds back at 15mph.

Sunny and super warm.  Welcome to Summer!

Going to watch a movie.

Have a wonderful day!

 the longer i stay out of the ocean, the more stressed i get.  and the more stressed i get, i have to buy something.  so now i understand why women love to shop.  they must be stressed out too?  haha… i went to put gas in my new toy.  the tank is only 1 gallon but i can go 134 miles on it!  that’s kilometers on 3.79 liters of gas!   i rode all over town today and the gas gauge didn’t even move!   i filled it up and spent $3.41.  that’s amazing!   was riding around in Hawaii Kai and went to meet up with Seth Moniz…   this kid is on his first year on tour, and he’s ranked #10 in the world now!!!  Seth will be leaving for a contest in Brazil this week and unfortunately i won’t be going on tour with him this time.  but Unko Kirby is always with you boy!   passed by Diamond Head and up went my stress level again!!!  i miss the ocean so much!  this is the longest i’ve ever been out of the ocean in my life!   so i went home and went shopping for motorcycle upgrades online.  haha.   when i came home, Mateus heard the loud motorcycle outside so he came out.  this kid loves bikes too!  keep on dreaming kid.  one day, you’ll be riding Unko’s motorcycle.  but for now, study hard in school and stay out of trouble!
