Trip to Hawaii

Saturday 22nd, I flew back to my parents home in Kahala Hawaii....
my vacation was for a week to rest up after Formula D in Sonoma... boy that was a tuff one, and D1.

It's always nice to come home...! but the first thing we did once I got in was grab my golf bag and went golfing.

after that I went shopping for food & stuff to get me settled in, but the cost of living is alot more higher that LA. even the cost of cerial what pretty crazy!

this weekend was my dad's 49th day that he pasted away..... In Japan it’s a custom that we celebrate the passing of a love one on the 49th day. On the 49th day his spirit no longer stays on this earth instead it’s ready to go to heaven, that’s were a priest is asked to come and send him off properly.

After this I had to prepare to leave for Osaka Japan to attend my Dad’s funeral hosted by the company he’d worked for. (it’s a Japanese custom to have a corporate funeral). BUT... since I get to travel outside of the US I finally got to go to the Infamous (DSF) Duty Free...! They wount let you in unless you have a international ticket that shows you will no be using this stuff in the US. the prices are cheaper and you pay no taxes!!!

they have some really nice high end shops in there... and they are really strict about letting people in with camera's you can't take pics or videos on this floor....
