OUR OKINAWAN ADVENTURE AND BEYOND, 2005-2009

Courtesy of the USMC, James and I have been stationed in Okinawa, Japan since December 2005. We hope this site will best convey what has been the adventure of a lifetime, through Asia and beyond! Stay tuned for our Stateside adventures as we prepare to separate from the Marine Corps in the summer of 2009.

Yoron Island with James


We arrive at Yoron Jima....Our first day was grey, but we still made the most of it and biked the 13.5 miles around the whole island. Too bad I didn't bring my camera. We got some of the most beautiful shells ever! The photos below are of our grey second day and finally, a sunny morning on the day of our departure. Enjoy!

Vroom! Vroom! ;) Trying to make the most of our remaining hours on island, we rented mopeds. Little did we know we would get soaked by rain an hour into our ride.


Mamma Goat taking care of business. Whoops!



Lord, please protect me from my need for speed. ;)


James, waiting patiently while I snap this scenic shot.

Like most islands near Okinawa, the economy is agriculture-based.
