In less than five week’s time I’ll be traveling to Saipan for an extended stay.
Saipan is a part of the CNMI or the Commonwealth of Northern Northern Mariana Islands which is a handful tropical islands on the rim of the Mariana Trench, the deepest part of the world’s oceans. My friend Peter has been living and working there for the past year or so. I’ll meet him an his family there when I touchdown on August 19th, just in time to celebrate his dad’s 50th birthday.
The time is right for a dramatic change.
I’ve put in my notice at the print shop I work at and I’m in the process of cleaning and painting my apartment to sublet. Aesop warns against leaping into the unknown like this, but I’ve got a good feeling that this is going to be just right. Sure, there is a chance I’ll miss home and my family as soon as I’m gone. I’ll be giving up on a beautiful Montana summer and I’ll miss my brilliant nephew’s first birthday, but it’s time for a reboot and I can’t wait to get started!

KFC, I’ve always been proud and confident of you and your abilities, if not always confident or proud of my own interpretation(s), but sincerely, now never more so… get after it and keep posting! Pop
Hey thanks Pop!
Kevin! I’m so excited for you! This sounds amazing! We must get together before you leave. If you need help with anything is the states while you’re away let me know. What language do people speak in Saipan? So awesome.
We’ll definitely get together before I go.
I should have mentioned it in the post but Saipan is a part of the US and locals speak English and Chamorro. Also there is a pretty big international population there too so I’m expecting to hear some Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Russian, and lots more.
Godspeed, good sir, you will be missed.
I can’t wait for the photos and your blog posts!
I can’t wait to take and write them!
Oh Kevin!!! you never cease to AMAZE me! I am shocked and yet somehow not surprised at yet another global adventure you will be undertaking. Keep surprising us Kevin!
Thanks aunt Colleen!
