Tinian Ferry!

I took my Mom over to Tinian for a couple of days this weekend and will post more than this in a few days but, what is up with the Tinian Ferry! Every time I get on it I think how much better the ride over there would be if we could just see out the windows!That's not water splashing on the windows. It's permanent remnants of the destruction caused by constant salt water without any fresh water rinse. The result - this is the best view you can get for the hour ride over crystal clear, turquoise water! Unless you stand and look out the rear porthole!
Of course when you get off the boat and make your way over to Taga beach you can clearly see just how beautiful the water is! Just imagine the extra PR that would come from people snapping photos of the islands coast line on the way there and back.
I mean this is how clear the water is. The shot below is taken while standing at the lookout in the picture above! You don't even need to SCUBA or snorkel it's so clear.
Of course a future post will discuss exactly why you would want to take the time to dive the sites around Tinian but that I'll leave for another day.

My point today is for the Tinian Ferry people to invest in replacing the windows on their boat. It will help with PR as well as relieve that sea sickness feeling for those who don't like being on a boat where they cannot even see the horizon!

I'm a big sister now!

A great book and a great time of life.

Not quite the same adrenaline rush the second time around - at least for Dad!
But, I now see how each time is memorable in its own way.
As with everything in life, accepting what it is and embracing what is special is key.


This time around, among other things, it's been absolutely amazing watching big sister. For now at least, I'm thinking two years apart is just about right!

If you've got one (a kid that is) and planning on another - buy the book!
