well I recently returned from a cool and fun vacation of about 3 weeks or so, and had some adventures but also some kind of
bizarre delays (I am recommending that my friends avoid flying American Airlines if they can for a number of reasons that I will be happy to expand on at a later date and later blog entry).
As it stands, I visited the great and remarkable state of Florida, the US and British Virgin islands, the Dominican Republic plus Trinidad. I did not visit Aruba however because they still have not adequately
answered in the Hollaway disappearence (the latest story reported on either FOX or CNN is that she was kidnapped and sold to Saudi Arabia or the United Arab Emerites to a brothel).
For the most part, it was a very nice little holiday even in spite despite of the avoidable travel issues. I must say though I have decided to go with Northwest Airlines next time
that I am taking holiday. It is true that I am glad to be back on the garden island of Kauai. One thing specifically which I am really looking forward to
is getting back into the whole surfing thing, one of my favorite sports. On this journey I visited some locales which have competitive and exotic surfing spots in their own right,
like for example the island of Barbados but this time I declined to go since I did not have my board with me, as it costs a pretty penny to bring it. For that matter, has anyone here considered I have never been there myself
but apparently Costa Rica in Latin America is a leading surfing location and they actually offer some idealic surf tours in costa rica
plus even a hot costa rica surf camp and vacation as well. As it stands, kauai boasts some elite level surfing,
and some of the best surfers in the world, such as the Irons' brothers, etc, happen
to be from here. That being said, the surf here is not quite as good as the north shore of Oahu, although the swells do get about the same size to the point where tow-in surfing is the only real possibility.
Geographically speaking, it appears that the distinctive pointed shape of Oahu's north shore means a better shaped wave, while Kauai happens to have more of a blunt north shore, unfortunately, which is not so ideal for wave shape.
