Yokosuka, Japan - July 2005

Hi folks... It's been quite awhile since I have updated this page. And longer since I have added any new photos. Many of you have written to find out why. Well, the short version is that I'm not in Hawaii anymore. For the long version, read on...

I moved to Yokosuka Japan in August of 2004 to work under contract for the U.S. Navy Far East Command. My job involves building and supporting a new global computer networking system for the Navy. It is exciting work that provides new challenges and learning opportunities every day. I hope to stay in Japan for another two to three years; expanding my knowledge base and hopefully transferring to another position with the EuroCent Command. Naples, Italy and Rota, Spain are just two of the many possibilities. At my advanced age I never expected to have any more Grand Adventures yet here I am... I consider myself to be very fortunate indeed.

Living and working in Japan is both delightful and enigmatic. Just when I think I have Japan figured out, a new mystery appears on the horizon. Solving Japan's endless riddles provides many opportunities for interacting with her people and having new adventures. In Nature, the islands of Japan are beautiful and contain much that is unspoiled and undeveloped, in spite of being one of the world's most densely populated and industrious countries. In February, I created a photo album video of my impressions of Japan and sent it as a Valentine to my friends far away. If you would like to glimpse a slice of life in Japan, you can view this video by clicking on one of the links below:

Just keep writing and sending photos... I'll update the site as time allows.

Mon, 12 Jan 2004 Laurie, I just wanted to drop you a line. I'll be back there for the Pro-Bowl. If you need (want) anything from the mainland, just drop me a line. Otherwise, I look forward to seeing you and everyone in about a month. "Go Niners" David Craig Los Altos, CA

Thanks for your very informative reply [to our e-mail]; we plan to stop in and enjoy ourselves. And thanks for the links you provided (in your email and on your web pages); they are quite informative. This will be our fourth trip from Pittsburgh to Honolulu… I'm there to cover the Pro Bowl and Events for the Pittsburgh Steelers, my wife is there to sunbathe and shop. See you soon!
Best regards,

Wed, 28 Apr 2004 Hello! If I go to Hawaii every year, I will surely drop in at Harbor Pub. I love Harbor Pub like Hawaii. And I begin all the men that met in Harbor pub, and Jeff, and am thankful to you, the staff, from the bottom of my heart. This Harbor Pub is seen and remembered while being unable to go to Hawaii. Please send the wind of Hawaii to me through this Harbor Pub. Mahalo Hiromi Japan

Aloha Laurie.
This is Jodie, a previous waitress at the Pub. Remember me? Great job on the web site! I was dabbling in web design myself...I’m very impressed with your work. (I know how many hours that took!)

It was great opening the photo gallery and seeing some of the familiar faces I miss so very much. I hope you and everyone else are doing great. I check in with Jeff Adomi and Buster now and then. I can't wait to come back and visit..maybe I’ll be back to live there somewhere down the line. Take care, and send my aloha to the regulars…

Well hello all! I just got an email from Emmzie and she finally sent me all of your email addresses. We're as laid back as you Hawaiian folk now at getting things done! Sorry I've been such a disaster at getting in touch. I'm such a disaster with emails that this is probably the first one I've sent since I was actually in Hawai'i! Not much news from here… still in college and have loads of essays to do. I’m trying to cram them all in now. I’m supposed to be on holidays though, which kinda sucks!

Emma and I have our finals in college in May, but the two of us are going to Spain with some other friends for 10 days at the beginning of July…we can run riot there for a few days. But I wish it were Hawaii though!

My sister is doing one of those round the world trip things with two of her friends for the summer holidays this year…She’s gonna be in Oahu for a week, so I'll have to send her down to meet you guys. Don’t know if I'll be able to persuade her to carry Irish surprises ‘round Asia for 2 months before she gets to Hawai'I, but I'll try my best! Anyhows, I better rock n roll…I hope you folks all had a good PADDY’S DAY. I don't even remember mine, but I'm sure it was great!! Love and miss you all…

PS: Let me know when you guys are coming visiting!
