OH yea I forgot about four wheelin. While living in Hawaii for nearly 6 years I took up four wheelin and spent a lot of time out on the West coast of Oahu playin in the mud pits and quarrie area. It is the one place on that Island that has no roads or easy access, and in fact if you try to enter from the south the only way to get in is to drive over a path that sports a cliff on one side that drops about 50' to the ocean, and on the other side is a boulder about the size of a cement truck. The path is just wide enough for the average 4X4 and if you look over the edge there are several vehicles smashed on the rocks below being pounded by the surf. I would never do that now. It is amazing how fearless we are in our younger years thinking that we are invinceble or that we are always going to be the lucky ones. I watched guys trash brand new $40K SUV's crying about how their wives were going to kill them for being so stupid. Still it was a lot of fun for me while it lasted. Life is good.

These days it is all about International travel for me. Taking trips to Bejieng, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Paris, Amsterdam, Germany, Austria, Korea, Thiland, and a few others have been a real highlight in my life over teh last 6 years, and we hope to take quite a few more before we are done. We have also taken a few road trips accross the USA in our first few years together, and we have both gotten to experience places neither of us has ever been before. Seeing the world is a true blessing.
