The battle rages on …

Aloha, everyone! It’s Day 2 of the “Great Jet Lag Battle” and it feels like the forces of Good (me) are finally starting to overcome the forces of Evil (jet lag).  Although I’m still a little disoriented and not quite back to my regular sleeping habits, there are signs that I’m slowly getting back to …

Let the battle commence!

The jet lag monster attacked me late yesterday afternoon so the battle is on!  I started feeling some serious fatigue and had a very hard time keeping my mind on whatever task I was doing.  This is going to probably last for a few days so I’ll just have to gut it out.  And because …

Still waiting …

‘Morning, peeps! Had a hard time waking up this morning, but still not feeling the full effects of jet lag – yet.  I know it’s coming though because my body feels out of sync and I’m having trouble concentrating on stuff.  Of course, sometimes I feel like that even without any traveling! Ha!  People have …

Jet lag … yet again!

Ok, so it’s now my first full day back home and I’m actually feeling pretty good so far … but I know the evil jet lag monster is lurking out there and getting ready to attack.  And even though I slept a lot yesterday and had a good sleep last night, I know it’ll take …

Back home!

Tokyo – midweek

Another crazy day in Tokyo … haven’t had a decent night’s sleep yet and I’m exhausted. It’s been a great trip so far, though, and our time here is going by so quickly. Since we had the day off yesterday, I did a little laundry and then went shopping at UNIQLO in the Ginza after …

Off to Iapana!

ManoaDNA is heading back to Japan today for a final hana hou with Hawai’i Tourism Japan.  It’s indeed been an honor and a privilege to represent our beautiful island home and to share our aloha with the wonderful people of Japan!  I’ve been so blessed to have met so many people who I now consider …
