“What’s up with Saipan?”

That’s what the Immigration agent in Guam asked me, as he leafed through my passport seeing all the entry stamps when I landed, on my way to Saipan. I’ll tell you the same thing I told him: “Pretty women, nicer weather.” (He gave me a shocked look implying, perhaps, that most folks aren’t as honest when asked that question)

So, what am I doing on Saipan? Well, for now, I’m staying with a friend while I look for a new apartment. I also have an event coming up on April 5th that I’ll tell you more about as the date approaches.

In the meantime, I’m just basking in the heat and sunshine, enjoying the scenery, reconnecting my cell phone, reconnecting with friends, and chopping open coconuts.


Thailand-style veggie meal! I’m so lucky!


Jamaican in Asia — Then and Now
