Okinawa Travel Blogs

This is a painfully long response letter i wrote to a gntleman considering okinawa as a destination in part of his trip to asia. But I thought some folks may find it interesting.... It is just hard for me to shut up when talking about my former home! Hey great questions! Firstly~you don't wan…

I was dreaming about going to Okinawa for so long. I was trying to go there with friends but we couldn't get the same time off so I decided to go there by myself.  I could have gone there years ago but going to Seoul or China is way cheaper than going to Okinawa!! I know it's weird that I've…

This was　a great stop but we had very little time here.  Japan requires a temperature check before we can get off the boat as part of immigration and health rules.  This couldn't start until the boat docked which was at 11am.   The check itself wasn't bad, it wa…

I have a favorite little spot on Okinawa that I love to go to!  It is straight out the main Lester gate, pass Starbucks, the baseball stadium, and then turn left at the end of the road into this little spa.  The name of it is Sea Side Refle.  It is right on the beach and next to a ve…

My 9 month deployment to Kuwait, along the way i visited singapore,Phillipnes,Dubai,Bahrain,Australia and hawaii

One of my many work trips... in fact this one is many in itself. Ive been out to Okinawa 3 times and have spent about 4 months there.

I was sent to Okinawa TAD while stationed in Yokosuka, Japan. I had a blast there. If you ever have a choice of where in Asia to go or be stationed I would recommened Okinawa. It's a tropical Island and everyone is laid back. There are tons of beachs and many outdoor things to do.
