Aloha Friday – July 31st

It’s mid-morning and the yardmen are here working on our lawn.  A lot of the hedges next to our house are brown because we weren’t able to exclude them when the house was tented for termites last week.  They should recover since only the leaves are brown and the rest of plant looks healthy.  I’m …

It’s Thursday …

Good morning!  I’m finally starting to get over the effects of jet lag and woke up in time to take our puppies for a walk.  It also helps when they jump on the bed and start licking your face at 6:00am!  Tomorrow we are back at Lulu’s and I’m really looking forward to performing again …

Wednesday

I really got hit by the jet lag today … feeling really out of it and constantly dozing off!  This is the worst part about coming back home and it’ll probably last for a few days.  It’s a nice day, though, and I’m trying to catch up on some of my work which has piled …

We’re back home!

Our plane landed in Honolulu around 9:30am this morning, and I immediately came home and fell asleep for about 3 hours.  I’m still very jet-lagged but very happy to be able to sleep in my own bed!  Our flight home was quite full which is a good thing since that means that more tourists are …

We’re done!

We just finished our last performance – #21 – and are totally exhausted!  The last show was at Bay Quarter in Yokohama and it was HOT!  Luckily, our people told the stage guys not to turn on the lights so the heat wasn’t as bad as it could have been!  We’ve made so many new …

Yokohama – Day 2

We just got back from dinner with our good friends, Aiko and Yoshiaki Taguchi, and the took us to their favorite restaurant in Chinatown here in Yokohama.  The meal was so awesome and my favorite dish was the shark fin soup with crab roe … delicious!  A big mahalo to the Taguchis for the kind …

Yokohama – Day 1

Good morning!  I had a pretty good sleep last night although I woke up a couple of times to drink some water.  I don’t like sleeping with air conditioning since it gives me dry mouth and is bad for the vocal chords.  I think I’m going to skip breakfast this morning and just relax before …
