I'm back.
Actually, I got back to the mainland
on Friday, but was busy shooting a job up in Tokyo and
only arrived back home on Saturday.
Okinawa was nice. A lot cooler than
all the other times I have been there because they have
just entered their rainy season so the first half of
the trip was dominated by rain and downright cool days.
The last half of the trip saw a break in the rain and
the sun was out so temperatures got back to normal.
It was a business trip, but I was
able to spend each evening with Pat and his family.
We went out to eat one evening, but every other night
I had the pleasure of eating one of his wifes fabulous
dinners accompanied by more than a couple of beers.
On the flight down I was lucky enough
to be able to get some photos of Fuji-san. The weather
was cooperating with me, and I also had the good fortune
to be on the right side of the plane to get the shots.
On the flight back to the mainland I also had a window
seat on the correct side of the plane, but the entire
area of South Eastern Japan was covered by clouds so
I was not able to get any additional photos. I may be
going back to Okinawea in June or July though, so I'll
give it another try on my next round of flights.
Tsukareta. (I'm tired)
I'm not exactly sure why, but travelling,
even such a short distance as Okinawa, is enought to
make me tired. It's not like I do anything. Just sit
on a plane, or sit in an airport, but regardless, I
always seem to end each trip in need of a vacation to
catch up on my rest. (I guess this is what it feels
like to get old...^_^)
But I did manage to catch a little
extra sleep yesterday and today was spent mostly relaxing
(and mowing my postage stamp sized lawn). I'll be going
to bed early tonight, and I think that by tomorrow I
should be all caught up and fully rested.
I may be taking a business trip to
Washington DC during the week on the 23rd. Not exactly
sure yet if it will happen, I should know one way or
the other by tomorrow afternoon. So in the event that
I do come to DC again, if anyone in the local area wants
to go get some beers one evening while I am there, just
let me know.
I'll sign off for now, and the next
week will see me get back to my regular posting frequency.
