My husband got back from working a month abroad, and a few days later got vacation time! A wonderful thing about being stationed here is that there are multiple beautiful tropical US bases which we can fly to for free on a "space available" basis on military planes traveling there. We were hoping to go to Guam, but the flight was cancelled due to the minor typhoon which came our way. Though we missed out on a few days of intended play, luckily, a few days later, we made it on a C-130 to Okinawa...
Yes, for anyone who has not travelled on something like this, it is LOUD! Hence the ear protection.
When we got to Okinawa, they were recovering from another typhoon, but except for strong winds and some rain, it was beautiful!
Hmmm, not so fond of the wind...
Luckily after that we got a couple wonderful days of weather for some irreplaceable memories...
We rented 2 stand-up-paddle boards, for our daughter's first time ever, and family's first time all together.
After the paddling...
And on to another beach for after naptime...
I swam over and explored the other islands a little. My husband swam to the reef in the middle. You can see him standing on it above.
And here's a place we checked out for surfing... Though couldn't find boards to rent.
A wonderful quick trip, and right back to work and school the next AM.
