Going Home – March 9

The Dock of the Bay

Yesterday I finally got us tickets home. Leaving March 9 arriving in Baltimore March 10. One can get from the Baltimore airport to our apartment using one bus and two subways. I got us a good price. No strike that – I got us the best price I have seen in a couple of weeks. And, the routing is only slightly silly. Kona to Seattle to Atlanta to Baltimore – then to the 1 hour bus/subway/subway trek to our apartment. All that for less than 400 bucks each. Not great – but not too bad either.

I have a feeling that there will be a diet waiting for me when back home. The wetsuit is starting to feel a little tight – even for a wetsuit. And, I’ll not be buying a larger wetsuit.

Had nice shark steaks yesterday and our beloved Spam Musubi was today’s main event. Chicken katsu is on tap for dinner. Papaya, avocado, too. And lettuce. I went to a rummage sale this morning and came away with two bunches of leaf lettuce. That is pretty Kona-kine behavior. One donates what one can to the local swim club rummage sale. And, one of our local lettuce farmers donated a case of mighty fine lettuce. Sure beats donating a pair of  Speedos with sprung elastic!
