Golf sucks!

Hi peeps, Went out golfing yesterday afternoon with my Thursday gang and my game has totally gone into the toilet!  My favorite bird of the day was the duck – as in “duck hook”, which happens when your ball goes sharply left every time you hit it.  I think my swing may have been affected …

More photos!

Aloha, everyone! Well, I think I can honestly say that Mr. Jet Lag gave me a break this time.  I’m back to my regular sleep schedule and can actually remember what day it is!  Can’t say the same for Alex, though – he really got slammed this time, which is kinda weird since he and …

So far, so good!

‘Morning, peeps! Well, I think Mr. Jet Lag decided to give me a break this time!  The 2nd day home (yesterday) is usually when I get slammed so I’m hoping the worst is over.  I did wake up with a stiff neck, though, which is something new … probably got it from the plane ride …

Home!

Aloha, everyone … It’s Monday morning and I just woke up … everything’s been kind of a blur since we arrived home yesterday afternoon.  I was so tired by the time we boarded our plane at midnight in Haneda that I just passed out soon after taking my seat.  Pretty much slept all day yesterday …

Yokohama

Good morning, all! Things have been so hectic that I haven’t been able to keep up with my blog … sorry! Anyway, our last performance in Hiroshima was at the Hiroshima Carp vs. Seibu Lions baseball and the coolest part was seeing ourselves on the huge TV screen in centerfield! After we were done, we …

Hiroshima – Day 2

Aloha, everyone! It’s our 2nd day in Hiroshima and we’ve almost recovered from our long flight over. Yesterday, I took a walk around the city and the Peace Park. I always enjoy walking through the park because it’s so serene and beautiful, yet there’s always a tinge of sadness when I see the various memorials …

Arrived!

‘Morning, peeps! It’s 4:30am here in Japan and I’m wide awake … even after going to bed at midnight (5am Hawaii). The jet lag coming this way is always a struggle, but for some reason it’s much worse when I go back to Hawaii. We arrived in Hiroshima last night after a 10-hour flight from …

Lots to do …

Aloha kakahiaka, peeps! It’s another blustery morning here in Manoa … we’ve been waiting for a break in the weather in order to take the puppies out for their walk, but every time we’re about to go it starts raining again.  Poor little guys … go, stop, go, stop … probably getting constipated with all …

Crazy weather!

‘Morning, everybody! What’s with this weather?!  It’s been so hot the last week in Manoa and this morning it’s raining … not that I’m complaining, of course, because I’ll take cool rain over hot any day!  Experts are forecasting a really hot summer – ugh! – which usually means brown lawns and brush fires, especially …

Getting ready …

Happy Aloha Friday, everyone! Getting ready to go back on the road again so I’ve started pulling together stuff I need to pack.  Can’t take too much, though, since we’ll be traveling by train and the last thing you want to do is lug a heavy bag around the train stations in Japan.  The worst …
