Return to Cincinnati

Being back in Cincinnati has been wonderful. I've returned with a new perspective that has me appreciating so many of lifes pleasures. Family and friends being on the top of the list with food being a close second. (My Mom's cooking has been amazing).
I've made the trip from Tonga with Tevita and he seems to be adjusting well to all the differences. It's amazing to witness all the simple joys of life through fresh eyes. It has made this trip even more enjoyable.

Love as always,

Pulupaki

So the first portion of my trip is over. As you can see in the picture the boat ride on the Pulupaki was lovely. I enjoyed a delicious meal of peanut butter and crackers while swaying on the cargo ship. The ride took 16 hours with two stops along the way. I think the sleeping pills did their job, because I managed to not get sick. A woman came aboard on the last stop and layed down two spots away from me. She did not do so well and I had to listen to vommitting for ten hours.

I'm here in Tongatapu for two days and them off to Fiji. I'll be home before you know it.

The morning I left my home in Vava'u, I woke up and noticed all my underwear was gone off my clothes line. I then noticed a couple of shirts and a pair of shorts were gone too. I can't believe someone had the nerve to steal my underwear. I raised a fuss, but soon realized I wasn't going to find the thief that day. I'm learning to let things go. If they needed a pair of underwear, they should have just asked. I'm hoping the thief was a girl.

More stories to come when I see you all face to face.

Love you,
Adrianne
