Where to begin?
It has been months since my last blog so I have some catching up to do. I continue to work on a sailboat in Maui, surfing whenever there are waves, and enjoying day after day of sunshine. The boys and I raced in the Hana Relay this year, sponsored by Polli's Mexican restaurant and wearing Mariachi costumes, we placed 1st out of 122 teams with a 6:13 mile pace. For anyone who doesn't know the Hana Relay it is a fifty-two mile race, from the airport in Kahului to Hana, along 617 curves and over 56 bridges through the most breathtaking scenery in all of Maui. We even had a support team, also dressed in Mariachi costumes, blaring ghetto mexican music while riding a tandem bike. Definitely the highlight of our year!
Abe and Beth came to visit in August and we borrowed Alli's kmart beach cruisers and rode down Haleakala Crater. Byan Dennis also paid a visit and we drove around the entire island in a 24 hr time window.
I'm still yet to travel this year, other than a short trip to Oregon and Washington in August. Short, but what a great trip! I got to skydive in Oregon and see my niece Blakely. I just said my goodbyes to Oren and Alli who are traveling to South America, Israel, Cali, and Georgia for four months and Kyle and Heather who are traveling to Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam and Thailand (check out http://kylethevagabond.com). And tomorrow...I'm off on a two month trip which includes 6 days in Japan visiting Alban and two months exploring Bali and Thailand.
I've been extremely busy the past week packing, finding places to store all my junk, moving out of my house, working and all the while there has been a south swell, which has made it hard for me to get anything done. Not to mention it feels like a bazillion degrees on the West Side. I'll be sure to blog as much as possible along the way.
Aloha
