After getting my taste of the local food, I next had to experience the real Hawaii from a sightseeing standpoint. With that said, I recently made a trip to the famous Sunset Beach on the north shore of O’ahu. This is where the world famous surf proving ground know as Pipeline is located and I must say that after seeing that set of waves I’m starting to think what is harder; baseball or surfing. I was able to have my fair share of fun though, by swimming into a waterfall cut through the mountains, and also do a little cliff jumping into the Pacific, which is something I’ve wanted to try ever since my college days when I would watch endless amounts of the travel channel instead of doing work. Oh and I almost forgot to mention that I squeezed in a round of golf in the morning, but that wasn’t what I remembered most, mainly because it didn’t quite go how I was expecting. How does this fit into baseball you may ask? It doesn’t. I won’t lie, because we all learn as kindergardeners where that gets you. I do know that baseball brought me here, and had it not been for the doors I had opened through playing this game, I would not be here sharing this dream with all of you. After having this experience, it makes me step back and realize how grateful I am to have the opportunity to play this game.
