The Waiting Game
Art and John start the morning off with a run down to the Shintoshin Park. It’s another glorious day with blue skies and mild temperature. We eat breakfast together in our Super Hotel and I do a load of laundry in the tiny washing machines. At 10:00 A.M. we must leave for the day so that the hotel can be cleaned. John grabs his skateboard and we head to the Monorail to go downtown.
Mansion Hunting in Shintoshin
Wednesday, February 7, 2007
Our bodies still haven’t adjusted to Okinawa time so we wake at 5:00 A.M. and are the first ones downstairs for breakfast in our Super Hotel. An entire wall in the dining area is lined with drink vending machines and one of the machines is programmed to offer the hotel guests free coffee and tea between the hours of 7:00 A.M. and 9:00 A.M.
22 hours to Okinawa
Wednesday, February 7th
It’s 5:15 in the morning Okinawa time, and although I’m still exhausted, my California time body clock won’t let me sleep more. My husband, Art Bobroskie, myself and our 14 year old son, John traveled 22 hours to get here.

Tucson Gems and Okinawan Dreams
I returned last night from the Tucson Gem and Mineral Show. John and I flew there in search of Mexican Fire Opals, Australian Boulder Opals and Fire Agates. We returned triumphant.
Sunny Sunday
