Lord willing, I will turn 73 in June. To celebrate, I'll be traveling. I will return to my home town of Kailua for 9 days.
As you know, this is my favorite beach in the world.
It brings back so many happy memories.
I'm hoping Waikiki will be breaking as big as it did last year when I was there. But regardless of the wave size, I'll be in the ocean each and every day. Whenever I paddle out, I sit on my board for a few minutes just absorbing the ocean with all of my senses. Nothing can quite match that feeling.
I am blessed to have been born and raised on Oahu. It will always have that pull of "home" on my heart.
