We are back from Okinawa, where a wonderful time was had by all.   Samantha went cave touring and spent several afternoons in the hotel  pool.  I was busy waterskiing, snorkeling (we saw not one but two manta rays!), and of course drinking 
awamori and 
Orion beer with  the Captain and the Team Atlas crew. K split her time between Samantha  and shopping and being massaged. 
     Fine weather made for high spirits,  even the typhoon which blew past couldn't dampen the fun, even if it  made the sea too choppy to play in. Coming home was a bit of an adventure as we had to fly over the typhoon, but it wasn't nearly as terrifying as I had feared.
