    Layover in Hong Kong - Happy New Year

    2019年12月31日, 香港 ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C

    We got to sleep in until 8 on this one, so a pleasant morning. Departure from Phnom Penh was uneventful, and we were off to Hong Kong.

    We have about 5 hours to cool your heels her in Hong Kong, and just found out we can't use the transit desk. We have to go out through customs and immigration, and check into our new flight, then come back through immigration again. Good thing we have 5 hours to kill.

    We managed to kill 5 hours in Hong Kong International without to much effort. I got all my end of year website updates completed, so ready for 2020 to kick off in style. We had a very short acknowledgment of midnight as we were flying up over the Pacific. That was Hong Kong time, and we had already crossed at least one time zone, so no telling when it actually happened for us. 😂😂    もっと詳しく

    Saipan

    2020年1月1日, 北マリアナ諸島 ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C

    We are now relaxing in Saipan International Airport until at least sunrise, probably later. Not sure what time hotel check in is, but probably not for another 8 hours. May find a restaurant near the hotel later. It is great to finally be on Saipan, have wanted to come here for several years.

    Yes, it was 8 hours later before we could check in. We walked downtown, had breakfast at Bubba Gump Shrimphouse, Then we wandered around town, checked out the beach, and eventually tumbled into the Hard Rock Cafe for an early lunch. Hitting the magic hour, we checked in, showered up, and went straight to sleep. Had to set an alarm so as not to sleep too long, so now we are rested just enough to sleep well tonight.    もっと詳しく

    Saipan Hash Impromptu Trail (SHIT) H3

    2020年1月3日, 北マリアナ諸島 ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C

    We had the good luck to be in town when they had a SHIT hash. Anyone can set it up, just need to make the trail, and invite the gang. There were two former Saipan hashers in town for the holidays, and were flying out on Saturday before the hash, so they called a SHIT and about 25 hashers turned up at Bank of Guam (in Garapan) for the meetup From there, we all carpooled up to the Kalabera Cave. They claim there are no rules for a SHIT hash, so totally free wheeling. At the start, the pack is put into a box (chalk on the ground) and the hares get a 10 minute head start. It was pretty dark out, but a half moon provided some good light. Headlights were required to navigate this shiggy trail, and we did some shiggy. Trail was cut right through the jungle, no real paths, just twisting and turning our way through the underbrush. We made it to the end up near suicide cliffs, where several coolers of cold beer, and some snacks awaited. A fire was soon set ablaze, and we sat waiting for the rest of the pack to arrive. Well we waited for over an hour, and one dude had still not made it in. The hares went out in search, but all was futile. Finally, someone called him, and found out he jumped a ride and went home, WTH? :) So, with that knowledge, the hares returned and we commenced with circle (at about 10 pm). It was one of the funniest and most interesting circles I have experienced in a long time. Great stories, jokes, and songs. A long discussion on whether the hares were snared or not, and tales of times past from the long time Saipan hashers. We finally exhausted all the beer and firewood around midnight, so we packed up the empties and headed back to town. A few of us went on to dinner, at an all night Chinese place not far from our hotel, and we heard even more stories of days gone by. A most excellent evening of hashing, and meeting new friends. https://www.relive.cc/view/vMq5dg2Rj86もっと詳しく

    Saipan H3

    2020年1月4日, 北マリアナ諸島 ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C

    After many years, I have finally run with the Saipan H3. It has always been one of those exotic looking locations of interest, and now I have finally done it. It was a short trail, but required a great deal of ducking, bobbing, and weaving to navigate this super shiggy trail. I certainly would not want to hash like this every week, as I am too tall (and old) for all that crawling around between branches, rocks, and vines . . . but it was fun to do once. We finished on the beach, with great views, and as darkness settled over us, the camp fire lighted the circle of funny jokes, singing, and all around entertainment. Great time with the Saipan H3. https://www.relive.cc/view/vRO7d9m5GK6もっと詳しく

    American Memorial Park - Saipan

    2020年1月5日, 北マリアナ諸島 ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C

    I visited the American Memorial Park here in Saipan today.
    Over the years, I have read most of the history of the US Marine Corps, including Saipan . . . but just like visits to Iwo Jima, Incheon, and Belleau Wood, until you actually walk the ground, it is hard to get the full picture. Historically, Saipan was a key location during WWII. Saipan had been granted to Japan by Germany in 1914, and was considered part of the Japanese homeland by the 1920s, with nearly 30,000 Japanese civilians immigrating and living here. By 1939, Japan realized its strategic location, and had stationed 30,000 troops here for defense. The Marines landed on 15 June 1944, suffering over 2000 casualties the first day. After 3 weeks of bitter fighting, the island was taken and the US Flag was risen on 9 July. To the south of Saipan, is Tinian, also a very historical and key island, The battle of Tinian occurred from 24 Jul to 1 Aug 1944, and soon became the largest US airbase in the Pacific (and the world at that time). This would become the primary base for the new B-29s that could reach the main islands of Japan, and later launched the Enola Gay and Bockscar, that dropped the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki . . . thus ending the war in the Pacific.

    Additional pictures are from the northern end of the island. Looking down from Suicide Cliffs (the final stand of the Japanese troops) looking down on the old runways (and the National Military Cemetery), a view of the Suicide Cliffs, and a photo at the cemetery).    もっと詳しく

    2020年1月7日, グアム ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C

    It was a short flight (30 min) from Saipan to Guam, and we were in the rental car in no time flat. Super easy getting around here on Guam, very similar to Hawaii. I took the opportunity to swing by the Navy Hospital and set up an appointment for a checkup. After checking in to the hotel, we just relaxed and went to Chilis for dinner. Wednesday, I saw the doctor, and after taking vitals and listening to my heart and lungs, said everything looks good. So will be pressing on with this world hash excursion. Once that was settled, we went out for a hike down to the south end of the island. It was an easy hike, less than 4 miles, and looked a whole lot like Hawaii. https://www.relive.cc/view/vRO7dZ8p2y6

    After the hike, we drove on around the southern end of the island and stopped at Jeff's Pirate Cove (recommended by one of Jo's friends) and had a beer and some hot wings. Later in the evening, we met up with a friend of mine who showed us some of the night life, with a beach bar, and a local brewery. We also discovered there will be a Full Moon Hash on Friday, the regular hash on Saturday, and we got invited for an early morning hike on Sunday . . . should be a great weekend.

    On Thursday, we changed hotels, and took a drive up around the norther end of the island. We did some shopping and had lunch in town, then drove up to Anderson AF Base. I took Jo in to show her around, and see if we could find a few things in the exchange. I was able to get a haircut, but everything else was not available, so we drove on around the top of the island. Stopped off in the Guam National Wildlife Refuge, and looked around. Also saw all the new construction taking place to move the Marines over from Okinawa. Lots going on, but looks like there are still a few years before any major boots on ground will occur. Now in our new hotel, and relaxing overlooking the pool.    もっと詳しく

    Guam Full Moon H3

    2020年1月10日, グアム ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C

    Another new experience, hashing on Guam. An excellent night time trail through the back streets and alleyways of Tamuning. Trail was pretty tricky, with many backward twists and little cut throughs along fences, and up into and out of parking garages. Circle on the beach, with a camp fire, and lots of fun entertainment. Well done to the hares, and the whole pack. https://www.relive.cc/view/vMv85LAYkNOもっと詳しく

    Agana H3 Trail #1961

    2020年1月11日, グアム ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C

    What a day, 2 Guam hash trails in 24 hours. Full Moon Friday night started at 7:15 PM, Saturday Agana H3 trail finished at 6:20 PM . . . total of over 13 Kms, but the Agana H3 trail was through dense shiggy, with plenty of climbing, and I found out what my limits are (while still in recuperation). I was sucking wind on all the uphill sections, and only thanks to the wonderful Agana hashers was I able to finish under my own power. Cannot thank them all enough. Circle on Friday night lasted nearly 2 hours, but Saturday was even longer. Awesome pack participation throughout, with lots of singing, jokes, and tales of the trail. A great time . . . also, a huge shout out to Drinks Her Pretty ( Justin Sieffert ) for picking us up and taking us to both hash trails. Great hashpatality. https://www.relive.cc/view/vevW754jyGvもっと詳しく

    Up Up and Away . . . Nope, not so fast.

    2020年1月13日, グアム ⋅ ☁️ 23 °C

    Update: Flights cancelled. Two more days on Guam, new hotel, extended rental car. Also booked hotel in Bali. Have rebooked our flights, now through Taipei, and Kuala Lumpur, and will get to Bali on Thursday afternoon (instead of midnight on Friday). Back on track for our Saturday departure to Dili.

    Previously . . . Well, we were supposed to be flying to Manila today, but the airport has been closed due to the Taal Volcano eruption. Our auto-rescheduled flight was set as one week (19 Jan), but we were already due to depart Manila on the 17th, so that's a no go if we want to make our next flight to Dili. Going to be working with the airlines to at least make our connection next weekend. More to follow . . . https://www.philippineairlines.com/en/aboutus/n…    もっと詳しく

    7 Hour Layover - Taipei

    2020年1月15日, 台湾 ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C

    In order to avoid Manila and the volcano, we had to reroute our flight. Longer way around, via Taipei and Kuala Lumpur. The extra day and a half here in Bali will ensure we'll be rested for our flight to Dili. Coming from Manila, we would have landed at midnight on Friday, and sat in the airport until 9 am Saturday to fly to Dili . . . so trade offs all around. There is a bit more cost for this way, but just have to wrap it up to Mother Nature.もっと詳しく

    Yes, another layover, but not just any city. This is the birthplace of the Hash House Harriers. I made my first sojourn here in 1998, for Interhash. Since then, I've been back about a dozen times, to explore more of the clubs and trails. I even got to hare for Mother Hash back in 2013, on the 4th of July no less. Good times in hashing . . . next stop, BALI.もっと詳しく

    Back in Bali, just for a couple days

    2020年1月16日, インドネシア ⋅ ⛅ 32 °C

    We made it, working our way around the Pacific to avoid Manila and the Volcano. It was a tiring trip, after the shuffle back in Guam on Monday, then 24 hours of flying to get here . . . but we are back on track. We checked the start location for the hash today, and found it was way up north, about 30 minutes farther north than last time we were here . . . so we decided to just chill at the amazing hotel. Speaking of hotels, location location location. We have stayed mostly in cheaper hotels, and understood we would give up some comfort for savings. Guam was the exception. We stayed in three different hotels, each was a completely different experience. First was the Wyndham Gardens, in what looked like a commercial sector, nice, but out of the way. Then we had 4 days in the Royal Orchid, down on the strip. An older hotel, but nice views, people all around, and convenient. Then when we had to extend, with the others fully booked, we grabbed one on the cheaper end, but still expensive (all three were around $90 per night). The last one was in a nice area, with lots of stores and restaurants, but it was a dorm room. Crappy bed, no place to put anything other than the floor. It did have a great shower, but the rest was bland. Fast forward to today, for $30 a night, we are staying in a wonderful hotel, with a big comfy bed, fridge, super nice. So anyway, location location location. Bali is much different than Guam . . . and truth be told. I'd rather be right here in Bali. :)

    So, we are here until Saturday morning, when we board our next flight . . . this time to Dili, East Timor. Another new country to run a hash trail in.    もっと詳しく

    Dili Dili - On On to the Dili H3

    2020年1月17日, 東ティモール ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C

    Had an awesome trail with the Dili H3 in East Timor, great fun. It was a bit of a struggle getting through customs and immigration at the airport, but once on the other side, the fun really began. There are a limited number of ATMs here, and both at the airport were only giving account balances, which we later found out just meant they had no cash left. So we spied a mall about a mile from the airport . . . how much for the taxi? $10 US . . . well, how much to our hotel (8 Kms away), $10. Easy choice, off we go to the hotel. We had just enough cash on hand to pay the taxi, the hotel deposit, and the hash. We received excellent hashpatality as former (and stand in for the day) Hash Master, “NUTS ON” so kindly picked us up at our hotel, and took us to the hash. As it was explained, it was the rainy season, so there would be no marks. Past experience during the rainy season has shown that trails were often getting washed away, so we just followed the hares on a pre-planned trail. The start was up on a road side hilltop, and the hares had nowhere to go but up or down. So up we went. After reaching the top, we made our way down to the beach. Do you know what comes next? That’s right, climb back up the hill to the finish. Once all had returned, the circle commenced right there on the side of a dirt road, cars and trucks blowing by covering us with dust. The hash lays out a tarp, and when you come up you get down on your knees, basically on the dirt road, and enjoy the life-giving nectar we all so crave. Many songs were sung, many stories were told, and then the “Prick of the Week” was awarded. The voting was going all one way, until the acting GM stood up and kicked over the sacred mug . . . and that was the end of story. After many beers, we made our way to the On On On. Dili Hash is awesome, make sure you visit someday. On On.もっと詳しく

    No One Expects the Spanish Inquisition

    Life is pretty awesome, especially when the unexpected happens. First unexpected thing was an invite to dinner tonight by NUTS ON and his wife. So, we roll up to this cool place across the street from the beach, and sit down for a couple beers. THEN, we get an invitation for a ride in the only stretch limo in East Timor. Not saying no to that, so off we go. Turns out, this was David Bowie's limo, shipped here from the US. Does a lot of wedding support, parties, etc, and it just so happens the owner is a hasher. We rode around Dili for about an hour, all sorts of picture takers on the street, we are jammin on the inside, listening to mostly 70s and 80s rock, but a few newer cuts like Ed Sheeran. Sometimes you just never know what will happen. We then went back for a delicious dinner, and songs around the table. Great times in East TImor. Don't miss out, book your tickets today. ON ON.もっと詳しく

    Cristo Rei of Dili

    2020年1月20日, 東ティモール ⋅ ⛅ 29 °C

    It was a casual day, but we got it into gear by lunch time. We walked up the street to rent some scooters, but none available, and we rented a busted up old clunker to doodle around town in. First, we managed to get some lunch on our way to our first site . . . the Cristo Rei of Dili. We climbed up the 800 stairs to the top, and managed to sweat out every drop of the water we drank that morning. We had considered driving out to Black Rock, but it was showing as an hour drive on Google Maps. We then went back to the Timor Plaza to get some more cash, and were considering a movie. As I walked in to the Movie house, out comes Corey (NUTS IN), and he convinces me that Black Rock in only 25 minutes away. OK, that's good enough for me. So we reload into the car, and off we go . . . an hour later, I kid you not, we got to the area that was Black Rock, but the roads were so bad, that we did not think our poor little rent a wreck could handle it, so we drove back to Dili.もっと詳しく

    6 Hour Layover - Darwin

    NEWS FLASH TO ME . . . I have traveled to Australia many times over the years, but last time was 2010. Since then, a Visa (ETA) is now required. Was informed at the checkin counter in East Timor. Can be done online, and only took 15 minutes, but there is no wifi at the ET Airport. So out of the kindness of their hearts, the Air North people got us into their office and allowed us to submit. Could have caused us to miss the flight. Got lucky on that one, no more taking anything for granted, must do my homework for every stop. All set, flight executed.もっと詳しく

    To Layover, or not to Layover . . .

    2020年1月22日, オーストラリア ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C

    After going through our 6 hour layover in Darwin, a massive thunderstorm blew in. Our plane could not land, so we could not leave. After several announcements of doom, all of a sudden the plane has landed. We eventually departed (90 minutes late), for our flight to Brisbane. On the way, I explained to the flight attendants that we had a connection, and had to transfer over to the international terminal, and we lost 90 of our 150 minute scheduled layover. They accommodated by getting us off first, and we made our way to the next airline check in desk. I have made about 20 flights on this trip so far, and this is the first time a PRINTED copy of our departure tickets was required (from Vanuatu). Heck, printers are not really that easy to come by when you are free wheeling it. So we ended up missing our connection, but they rebooked us for tomorrow, same time (for free). We spent the next hour or so getting a printed copy of our departure tickets, so all set for tomorrow. Ughhh.もっと詳しく

    Enjoying Port Vila

    2020年1月25日, バヌアツ ⋅ ⛅ 28 °C

    Our first couple days in Vanuatu have been very relaxing. After arriving a day late, we were happy to get settled into our lodging and look around. On the first night, we got an invite by the local hashers to join in on karaoke night just up the street from where we are staying. Jo was all about that, so off we went. Nice dinner, followed by 2 hours of singing, a great time. After a good nights sleep, we had a day to wander around town, get some groceries, and do some laundry. Today, Jo went SCUBA diving again, and I worked on writing some hash info for my upcoming monthly post. Then this afternoon we had lunch on the water, and drove out to the east for a hike up to a waterfall. The waterfall hike turned out to be a half mile stroll up a stream, to a swimming hole with a small waterfall. Sort of disappointing, but a nice day out on the town.もっと詳しく

    Doing the loop, around Efate (Vanuatu)

    2020年1月26日, バヌアツ ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C

    Full day touring on Efate, drove all the way around the island (~125 Kms). Absolutely gorgeous island, but sparsely populated, so most of the drive was just grass on both sides of the road. Had some spectacular views of the ocean and beach, and some overlooks. Drove past a WWII museum (see pictures), they asked ~$5 admission. One room, and by what I could see from outside consisted of mostly old Coke bottles. Gave it a miss. :o) Drove another 25 kms and found a lovely ocean side resort for lunch. Maybe 10 people there, so was busy. The food was delicious, had a spicy chicken roll. After that, we had another 40 Kms to the next tourist trap . . . the Blue Lagoon. Pictures looked like a cool swimming hole, but they wanted ~$10 each to see it, so gave it a miss. Overall it was a very nice drive around the island.

    Since they have blue laws here (no alcohol sales from 1130 Sat - 0730 Mon) in stores, we ventured back to the Iron Horse Saloon for dinner and drinks, and played cards for a couple hours. As the sun was setting, we wandered back to the hacienda, and watched a movie. I really like this island. :o)    もっと詳しく

    Port Vila H3 Trail #2283

    2020年1月27日, バヌアツ ⋅ ☁️ 27 °C

    Had an amazing trail with the hash here today in Vanuatu. We had a few issues with finding the start, including a pin dot that was in an open field, and my cell phone that just dies at random . . . but we did find the start just in time as the pack was headed out. The trail was excellent, with a start uphill straight into the shiggy. Was a bit frustrating going up, as it was all single file in a conga line. This left me dead last by the time we reached the top as I helped others through barbed wire fences. Once we reached the top, it was back on the road, following the tail end of the pack. We got to a point that turned out to be about a mile+ from the finish, marked by an arrow that signified . . . find your own way back to the start. Fortunately we were with a local hasher who explained this to us, and led us back home. In the circle, the local rabble was full of fun, cussing up a storm and full of jokes. Lots of good humored banter about fuck all, so I jumped in with a few songs, which always leads to more fun. In the end, we made a bunch of new friends, and had an amazing time on the hash. Port Vila H3 is not to be missed. On On. https://www.relive.cc/view/vrqDmeGKAwvもっと詳しく

    Flying into Henderson Field, Guadalcanal

    2020年1月29日, ソロモン諸島 ⋅ ☁️ 28 °C

    Over the years, I have visited numerous sites of significance to US Marine Corps history. Inchon, Iwo Jima, Belleau Wood to name a few. In a few short hours, I will be landing at Henderson Field on Guadalcanal. With great reverence . . . "We all stand on the shoulders of the past generation."

    By 1942, Japan’s span of control throughout Asia and the South Pacific was vast, reaching as far as, and taking control of Guadalcanal in July of 1942. That would be as far south as they would go, and they would not hold it for long. On 7 Aug 1942, the Marines entered the war in the Pacific, and made the initial landing on Guadalcanal with ~11,000 men of the 1st Marine Division under MajGen Vandergrift. Within two day, the Marines had established a beachhead, and seized control of what would soon become Henderson Field. After months of intense battles both on land and at sea, the Japanese withdrew from Guadalcanal on 7 Feb 1943, and the island was designated secure on 9 Feb. The US had established a foothold in the South Pacific, and initiated what would become the Island Hopping Campaign. This campaign would go on for the next 3 years with amphibious landings on numerous islands, ending with the seizing of Okinawa in 1945 and the subsequent dropping of the atomic bombs (from aircraft launched from Tinian, also seized by the Marines) on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

    Of additional significance, Maj Pappy Boyington and his Black Sheep Squadron operated out of Henderson Field in 1943, becoming one of the most famous flying squadrons of the war.    もっと詳しく
