Great Travel Moment

Here I am, floating in the water at Waikiki Beach on Oahu, HI, with the famous landmark, Diamond Head, in the background. This will sound very simple and silly to most people, but my ability to allow my body to relax and just BE, floating in the ocean, was a BIG deal for me. I've always had a fear of the ocean and it was significant for me that I felt so comfortable in these waters. It became one of my favorite, most relaxing, things to do -- even with an occasional giant sea turtle popping up within 6 feet of where I was!
