Oahu, Hawaii

Hawaii is the best place to surf.  I could surf and paddle board all day. I enjoyed visiting the Army Museum, that is a must see.

For a great night out in Waikiki go to Jimmy Buffet’s!! The live music and dancing is great.


Ciao for now!

Madagascar

Madagascar was very poor. I have seen poverty before through my travels to other places but Madagascar touched me in a way no other place has. I saw young kids working on the side of the road pounding rocks to make gravel and working in the field to gather clay and mud to make bricks. I found out many kids don’t get to go to school. I saw people brushing their teeth outside. The average person lives on $1 USD a day. Their houses are very small and mostly one tiny room. A lot of people do not have beds and sleep on leaves.

Madagascar is a beautiful country though and has lemurs. I hope to go back one day and help the people of Madagascar.


Ciao for now.

Mauritius

Mauritius is home of the now extinct dodo bird.

I toured a sugar factory. It is surprising how many types of sugar there are. I also toured a tea factory, I had no idea that the process was so involved and long.

The beach is amazing. It does not even look real. It looks like it is in a movie. From my hotel room at the St. Regis, I would be on the beach in ten steps from the back porch.

Mauritius was really relaxing and fun.


Ciao for now.
