What a strange little place.

Well, I have been here three weeks. I definitely have a bunch of thoughts about life here on Kwajalein. First, let me just say that I will not put a bunch of pictures in here until I go through all the rules with someone high up in the garrison, because I don’t want to get […]

Back…

We are back in Oregon. I felt like I should have, but didn’t put an exclamation point behind that statement because I still feel a little weird about being back here. We have actually been back for two and a half weeks, but it has been a whirlwind since we returned. We have driven to […]

Mixed Emotions: On Leaving Asia

We are wrapping it up here in Thailand. In Asia. The time has come that we feel the need to swing back through our home country for a bit. It is time to see Brittany and Collin, time for a beer and a wee dram of whiskey and good conversation with good friends, time to […]

Where The Hell Did We Go?

I have been a bit poor about any updates in here recently. We have been getting medical check-ups, MRI’s (Tam), and root canals (me) and some dental work, and eye exams, as well as having several visitors and kiteboarding with them a bunch. Sorry! But, for an update: We left the Philippines. It is a […]

Too Much Gear And The Tuk Tuk Mafia

We have been traveling for fourteen months. We travel to chase wind and waves and adventure. We kite, surf, snorkel and freedive, and because of this we need to travel with a ton of gear and a pretty hefty first-aid kit. When you include all the gear, Tam and I each travel with two bags […]

A Fun Bunch Of Travel Companions

We left Sri Lanka to go to the Philippines because a group of friends from Southern California were taking a three-week trip there to kite, explore, and relax. We thought it would be nice to hang out with friends from back home, and it was. What a great bunch to travel with. We moved a […]

So Long Sri Lanka

We have been here for nine months. It has started to feel like home. And, as with any home, it comes with its goods and bads. Thankfully the list of goods is much, much longer than the little list of bads (and honestly, the bads ain’t all that bad). I can’t possibly do this list […]

Two Princesses

We rescued a dog. This was back in June (or July, I can’t remember). She was found starving to death with her two siblings on a remote island when a group of kiters from our place found them. It took a couple of days to get back to them, but when we did two of […]

A tuk tuk on a boat

Sometimes the road just runs out. We were traveling in the North, tuk tukking along, minding our own business on the super primitive Karainagar Island Northwest of Jaffna, and boom! No more road. We could see to Kayts Island, the next island we needed to get to, across a kilometer or so of the Indian […]

A Tuk Tuk Trip Around The North End

When we left Weligama we had just a few spots left to see on the island. The drive turned into a whirlwind of beautiful sights and crazy tuk tuk adventures (more on the adventure part soon). We wanted to see the Southern part of central Sri Lanka, in the mountains (more on this part soon […]
