You may have noticed that we now have a nifty Travelogue tab at the top of the page. Clicking on this tab will magically whisk you away to Okinawa, through the eyes of internet-Okinawa’s Myron Akana. Please read and enjoy a vicarious vacation without even leaving your desk!

Myron Akana was kind enough to share the travelogue from his most recent trip to Okinawa back in October 2005. Since I haven’t had the opportunity to make it back to Okinawa since 1999, I really appreciated reading his thoughts and enjoying the sights vicariously through his writing.
Since we’re still under construction here on i-O, I will share his travelogue a day at a time here in the blog… then, I will transfer the information to a more logical place on the site later on. But truly, I wanted to share these gems with you sooner rather than later.
So, enjoy!
A local company owned by Randy Kuba and Frances Nakachi Kuba, Awamori Spirits, was featured in MidWeek. Learn more about Awamori, their efforts to import the Okinawan liquor to American markets, and where to purchase it when you have a hankering for a taste of Okinawa. Read the MidWeek article. The Star-Bulletin also did a story on Awamori Spirits in their August 21, 2005 edition.
