  Coming  home to a place I've never been before.   It's Fee-Gee (Fiji) Hiow did I end up in a place like this? Favoritism. John Denver visited this island today-Sunshine On My Shoulders.  You can't get any further away before you start coming back.Imagine sailing across the blue waters of the South Pacific, passing by idylic islands, teeming with exotic fish and majestic coral reefs--Oh wait I don't have to use my imagination because what you see is what you get. Bula.                                                                                                                                     OMG I'm a Country Boy The Law of Diminishing Return...

Hawaii was the experience that answered all my questions about time-it didn't exist. Everything is NOW on a ship, and the only easy day is YESterday. On The Pacific Ocean, I may not have been Mr Right, but I felt ok being Mr Right Now. When we would dock off   Kona  or  in Kauai,  I was in the MOment. It was only in the "Mainland"  where My Aloha Vibe got distracted with Caffeine and the Malls, and I was on default. just another Haole--- the other. not a true person from here. In the South, they don't care how you do it Up North-in Hawaii, they just don't care- I met "adults" who never wore pants-just shorts, flip flops. Aloha Friday and Naked On The Set  Tuesdays-Oorah!

Veritus-You shall know it, but first it will piss you off:. Harvard Business School is the West Point of capitalism.The  rest is just Karaoke, cheap imitations.   Ponzi Diploma Mill We guys from The 80's  got in early reaped the rewards, spread the buzz that "You need a college degree". As more ppl went, tuition went up, student  loans soared.P yramid schemes punish  those late to the party.  The Bernie Madoff of investing in yourself scandal   is a B.A. from a Liberal Arts, Technical, Beauty or Fashion School. Khao San University in Bangkok-Get a US Degree for $20 Bucks!  I definitely over-paid for my diploma!You give them money.  They give you a degree. Just spell your name on this  piece of paper. They'll print you up a diploma  No tests.No Books .Nobody is turned down.  FADE IN:  At the boat house, Row, row, row, your boat gently down the stream...life is but a dream...One year ago today, July 25,2012, I was...

Sunshine State, Empire State, Aloha State-Wimps compared to New Hampshire's Motto: Live Free or Die. It was named after England. So it was the 'New' England. Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont,Rhode Island and Connecticut. The Bigger the Summer Vacation, the harder The Fall The last time I was on the East Coast,  was April 2010,  onboard  the Costa Atlantica,  on our way  across the Atlantic. We  hugged the shoreline up to Quebec City and then over to (Old) England. In New England, we stopped  in Norfolk, VA, The birthplace of Naval History; Washington. D.C.; Newport, RI;  Boston MA and Bar Harbor Maine.  Pahk the Kah In Harvard Yard This is the first time I have been on land in New Hampshire. Looking forward to seeing some amazing natural beauty. 

 The Promised Land Is Right Where You Are When you are following your bliss My universe is made of stories, not atoms: land, air and sea travel and the power of now. If I wanted to be a multinational soul, and  leverage   my best asset,me,  I couldn't do it in cities where I lived like New York, Los Angeles, Tokyo or Paris  alone-I needed to get consecrated by sailing on the oceans. letting your soul & spirit fly, into the mystic. It's a wonderful thing to get rid of everything and everybody and just go some  place where you don't know anyone; where, as Melville said,"God's one and only voice is Silence." The sceneries  paint  themselves.  I'm just the middleman.   You can't create experiences like this, you undergo them. If a man speaks in the forest and there are  no women around to hear it, is he still wrong? Living on a ship, might be summed up as monotony tinged with hysteria.  It...

Marjorie Glacier is one of the most photogenic glaciers in Glacier Bay National Park in Alaska. I had the good fortune to be there today None of these landscapes are ugly because they are natural and wild!  I learn about geography by traveling by cruise ship; geology, the day after a  huge event-- They  take place   every day somewhere around the planet--- earthquakes, hurricanes, even glaciers move.  When I attempt  to pick out anything by itself in Alaska , I find it connected to everything else in the Universe, yet I feel my smallness because of its vastness. The wilderness is therapy: Only by going alone in silence, without baggage and buffets,could I  truly get into the heart of the wilderness. All other traveling, including on this ship, is Karaoke traveling-a cheap imitation. But it's still worth doing. I can hear the ice sheet-music of the glacier calving and  the music of the bay  written in ice river lines. .. K...

(2010)On the U.S.  Midway flight deck, with the crippled Carnival  Splendor  in the background, Happy 4th It is better to ask for forgiveness than  Permission To Go Ashore. . No Noose Is Good News Ironically, Aircraft carriers are accidents looking for a place to happen.This time it wasn't a Battle Ship but  a cruise ship.  These guys at CCL, however,  were the Tim Gunn's of the industry. You know, because they made  it work no matter what. CCL ships are flagged under Panama.Therefore, when you buy a ticket, you essentially give up your constitutional and consumer rights. Carnival Cruise Control, nevertheless went into overdrive and has gone overboard with comp upgrades-as we are staying three nights at the Hyatt. Headed for Paris tomorrow-Carnival is paying for the flight, reimbursed the voyage and is giving us another one too. The WalMart of cruising is living up to its moniker-pay less and have more fun.
