The blog below is about heading to and living on a small tropical island 13 by 5 miles wide, Saipan. It’s only about 15 degrees north of the equator, western pacific just past the deepest part of the ocean in the world; the Mariana Trench, which recently became a U.S. national monunument.
My ethnicity makes up something like less than 2 percent of the population of about 40+ thousand people. The indigenous peoples who are pacific islanders and have been here for thousands of years make up the second largest ethnic group and are technically the only people who can own property, though they have multi-decade leases. They are called the Chamorro and Carolinians. The largest ethnic group is Filipinos who more than half of are on work visas or are contract workers.

My job is to live out the dream. Someone has to do it. See the blog below, click into it, see the timeline starting with “Saipan or Bust” up to today, day one, when I arrive on island at 1:30 in the morning get to sleep by sunrise and still manage to run around all afternoon with insane jet lag…

Don’t be shy commenting at the bottom of every blog post. It needs an email address but I don’t do anything with the email addresses and there is no sign in, the email address is only used to tell you if I replyed to your comment. Your comment might not appear immediately as sometimes I set it to wait for my approval. 

Easy peezy, and don’t get me started on how I ain’t looking for fans or followers but if there’s only lurkers…well…

Thank you. Thank you very much…much/much!
