Blog: Fourteen months, four countries, and three kids - Tales from the Field - 13 January 2012

Remembering the Day of Infamy
Blog: Ottsworld - 6 December 2011
Planes are zooming in, rat-a-tat-tat echoing around me, bombs exploding, smoke everywhere and the footage continues to roll past me in black and white. The Pearl Harbor attack; a day I’ve only read about. As I sit and watch the movie of the attack, which includes old footage and ancient pictures of a horrible day, [...]

Over the Rainbow in Hawaii
Blog: Ottsworld - 2 December 2011
When moisture and sunshine combine in just the right combination, a rainbow occurs. The perfect combination happens more often in Hawaii than any other state and that’s why the state motto is The Rainbow State! During my 3 weeks in Oahu and the Big Island I saw more rainbows than I’ve ever seen in my [...]

Oauhu’s Wild Leeward Coast
Blog: Ottsworld - 18 November 2011

Not For Tourists Luau
Blog: Ottsworld - 17 November 2011
I heard it over and over, “You must go to a luau; the quintessential Hawaiian experience.” However there’s nothing about me that likes quintessential, in fact if everyone else is going to see something, then most likely I won’t just because I’m stubborn. I’m doubt my stubbornness is one of my best traits, but it [...]

Hiking to the Best Views in Hawaii
Blog: Ottsworld - 15 November 2011
I’m a mountain person more than a beach person. I like to spend a little time at the beach, but lying there or participating in water sports hold my attention for only so long. My preferred beach time is about 1 ½ hours and then I’m done and long for a change of scenery. So [...]

China Town in Hawaii
Blog: Ottsworld - 11 November 2011
One of my favorite places to visit in any city is the ethnic areas. For some reason when I visit them I feel more at home – I can’t really explain it. They make me want to take photos. So when I went to Oahu, Chinatown was high on my list to visit. [...]

Restoring the Past – Iolani Palace
Blog: Ottsworld - 10 November 2011
The grand koa wood staircase was shining with a new coat of oil as the focal point of the room; it’s beautiful curves lead the eye gently from the second floor down to the first floor. Men and women dressed in ornate gowns and neck-restricting tuxedos floated around the staircase receiving each other with [...]

Oahu’s North Shore
Blog: Ottsworld - 4 November 2011
Oahu has surprised me on many levels so far. With access to a car, you can really go explore every corner and find yourself on a turquoise secluded beach easily. That’s exactly what I did on the North Shore. Ron and I drove to the North shore to do the Shark Cage Experience early in [...]

World Travel for Almost Nothing #2
Blog: Vagobond.com - 15 July 2010
Sometimes a beer is necessary. Usually it's not. It's always good though. The biggest rip off of modern times wasn’t the mere stealing of billions by Bernie Madoff, it was convincing most of the people on the planet that they need anything the modern world provides. In fact, you were born with everything you need [...]
