Sun drenched beaches? Has the author ever been there?

Seventy years ago our troops were fighting in deep mud. Sometimes supplies had to be carried by hand because the vehicles couldn't get through.

But what about today? Next 10 day forecast is all thunderstorms and chance of thunderstorms, with a couple of partly cloudy days.

I was stationed on Okinawa 1964-1965, and found the beaches to be great and the women even better.

Ahh, I miss White Beach, but I really miss Masako.

"Sun drenched beaches? Has the author ever been there?"

That's what I was wondering.
Spent a couple of months there, not bad, but certainly no "island paradise" - weather cloudy and cool, beaches - meh, rain was down-right nasty.
But the native Ryuku's were very warm people.

I have lived on Okinawa for the better part of 4 years. It is a beautiful Island and the beaches are beautiful if you know where to find them. The outer Ryukyus Islands are even better. I went to Hawaii and I much preferred Okinawa over Hawaii.
