May be on travel, but some daily life activities are necessity.  Setting up Vietnamese coffee for Mike and Gayle who are coming down the hill from their place.  I never miss my Juice Plus and Protandim daily supplement fix. Then a surf check. If no waves, then workout.

Vietnamese coffee with Mike and Gayle this morning to kick off a slow, relaxing start to the day.  No waves today, so looks like a chill beach day.  Here's the view from Da Blue House porch.  Got re-acquainted with some old friends and met some new friends at a party last night. Tortola has grown since my last visit almost 30 years ago, but it is still a beautiful island.

I remember as a kid seeing flight stewards and pilots on the airline ads. Air travel seemed so glamorous then. Who knew what it would evolve into.  My reservation was with  US Airways, But US Air is merging with American so...American is handling some of the flights.  I was on the wrong side of the terminal.  Lugged two surfboards cross terminal to find out that American is now charging $200 per board bag. Welcome to domestic travel... Let the adventure begin :-)

Less than 2 days left to pack and square away work commitments and the anxiety vs. excitement begins to build.  This is a relatively domestic surf travel excursion compared to previous years, but it is a warm up for  a series of adventures to commemorate "the 60th year' (God, health, job & economy willing...).  First stop for 2014 - Tortola BVI and a connect with my SCST wingman and dear friend,  Mike Ryan. Have a house at Little Carrot Bay - "Da Blue House".  Hope I hit a swell...Really hope to see proper Cane Garden Bay.  More to come
