Living the Dream

we had to outprocess in the US, so we went to hawaii for a few weeks to finalize all kirks paperwork and celebrate his new-found freedom. kirks wedding ring is still celebrating its freedom somewhere on the bottom of a bay on the north shore of oahu... we stayed right on waikiki beach for a few days and explored oahu and then spent the weekend with our buddy kevin from korea and his family. it was great to meet kevins family and see him again.

we also spent a few days on kauai, hiking, kayaking and relaxing. we stayed 5 nights in a cottage right on the beach. the longest we have stayed anywhere in 5 months...

We were happy to learn we’d unintentionally purchased tickets in the smack center of the ‘organized cheering section’ at a Japanese baseball game, and had a great afternoon following along with our whistle blowing cheerleader to the pre-canned cheers they have for every possible situation ( including every strike, foul, fly out, home-run…) and shooting balloons around the stadium at the 7th inning stretch. Domo arigato japan.
