Happy Holidays from North of American Samoa
Aloha Everyone,
Happy Holidays from somewhere north of American Samoa. While most people will be gathering with friends and family on Christmas and New Years Day, David and I will be sailing from American Samoa to the Marshall Islands. David and I left American Samoa on Thursday and hope to stop in Tarawa, Kiribati before arriving in the Marshall Islands. However, our Tarawa stop is weather dependant, so we shall see. In the meantime, it's hot and humid here. Lots of rain, fitful wind and plenty of lightening in the distance. And while most people will be cooking a turkey on Christmas and New Years Day, I will be cooking in a pressure cooker. Anything that doesn't heat up the boat and cause me to sweat when I eat it sounds great. David's favorite boat meal is pasta with meat sauce so we will probably have that both days. Just thinking about it is making me sweat.
We'll be on the lookout for Santa and his sleigh on Christmas eve. We see planes and satellites running across the night sky, so.... And just so you know, just because we are traveling doesn't mean we missed out on the holidays all together. I saw plenty of holiday decorations, wrapping paper, drug store holiday gifts while running errands in American Samoa. I now know what American Christmas songs sound like when translated into Samoan. Delightful!
Wishing everyone a wonderful holiday season and a wonderful start to 2019. Happy Holidays!
