At this writing I am on a Five hour lay over in Tokyo’s Narita airport. The last couple days on the North Shore of Oahu were beautiful and as relaxing as any time could be. The true laid back Hawaiian feel just takes over, and you could just sit and watch the ocean forever. My sister Mo and my niece Jessica met us in Waikiki, and after a really nice lunch at the Waikiki Yacht Club we headed out for the North Shore. We stayed at Mo’s friends house just off the beach at a place called Three Tables. It’s a beach where three flat topped reefs appear out of the water at low to medium tide. It’s located North of Wiamea, and south of Pipeline. I’ve never been to these beaches during the summer. It’s a bit strange to see these world-renowned big wave beaches with little two-foot waves rolling in. It’s still beautiful, a place. I wanted to never leave when Icame here when I was younger. This time I have places to go and people to meet. So after a day of shopping in Honolulu Mo and Jess dropped us off in Waikiki so we could catch a flight out at 10:30 the next morning. Then something really cool happened. While waiting in the boarding area Harv and my names were called out over the loud speaker. We both looked at each other wondering if we had been bumped or something bad happened. When we got up to the desk we found out that we had been bumped, up to business class. We still don’t know why (my theory is it was Harvey’s mohawk). After we got on the plane we found out how cool business class is, big huge sleeper seats, free drinks, private TV’s and just all around great service. Now were here in Norita on a five-hour layover before we leave for Bangkok. Kind of a long a long layover, but cest la vie. We arrive in Bangkok at nearly midnight, so I’ll let ya know how all that goes on my next post.
