Marshall Islands – so far away – and Calalin is calling.

This little gem is located deep in the south Pacific – way deep. Calalin Island is far away from anything we can imagine but mentally close because of its picturesque beauty. “I’ll take two helpings please.” I have a reason for such a statement: Calalin Island (specifically the Calalin Channel) is dubbed shark alley. I have a couple of colleagues that need to visit this location and carry some bleeding fish on their “persons.”
Seriously, the area has some of the prettiest white sand beaches on the planet and no matter what time of year they are not crowded. Divers who are “in the know” recognize that the warm water temperatures, and cloudless days make for wetsuit-free diving and relaxing evenings. The most complex angle to the the Marshall Islands is the fact that the majority of people who visit the Islands – have to return to their homes after visiting. This thought creates a lot of angst within my body. I believe I’ll stick with Hawaii for now. Unless of course the PowerBall numbers tumble my way this Saturday. More later.
