Sunset

 Monday, Nov. 4th


 






Today I spent the day up at North Shore. Hale'iwa Beach & Surf Club to be exact. The surf was pretty high and lots of surfers were out to ride the waves. North Shore is known for its big waves and surf competitions. I saw some good rides and some good wipeouts!

Sunset tonight did not look promising back in Waikiki. But, at the last minute, the clouds broke and the sun peeked through to say good night. I try to catch every sunrise and sunset when I'm here, even when it is cloudy for that exact reason!

Tomorrow I will be flying from Honolulu to Tokyo! I'm very happy excited to visit a new country, eat some amazing food, visit temples, and more. Hawaii was a nice way to start my journey and break up the flight to Asia, and I will be back again, sooner than later. Ill lose almost a whole day between the flight time (7 hours) and time difference (+16 hours). My next post will come from Japan.... Until then....

                                Aug. 23, 2024 - Maui, HI                   Lately I have been asked by friends, family, and co-workers if I keep a journal or blog about my travels. You see, I recently started flying again and this time I work for one of the largest carriers in the world serving over 300 destinations. So, I decided it would be a good idea to keep records of my experiences and journey. Not necessarily for others to read, though I do love sharing, but more so for myself. I enjoy writing and taking pictures, so what better way to chronicle my odyssey!       In the past six months, I have traveled to: four Hawaiian islands multiple times; Paris and Chantilly, France; Amsterdam three times; London; Geneva, Switzerland; Shanghai; Juneau, Alaska; and many states within the continental U.S. My company offered a temporary leave...

Um Parque com Ginasio

  For my first full day in Sao Paulo, I mostly walked around and explored the area more without any real agenda. I went by the Pinocoteca (Brazilian art museum) and the surrounding Parque Jardim de Luz. I gotta say, the highlight of my day was finding an outdoor gym with equipment made out of stones and cement. I was pretty shocked when I saw it, but since I was in shorts and a tank top and hadn't worked out for a couple days, I got a nice little workout in! I will definitely be back tomorrow as well.   It smells SOOOOO good when walking around. I have yet to indulge in any real local foods, but I will tomorrow. I have some good recommendations from a couple of friends who have been here. Everything is very cheap here and the people are friendly.    There are quite a bit of homeless and I've been warned multiple times to be vigilant, not have my phone out constantly, etc. I knew coming here that it was a place to exercise much more caution than most places I've visit...
