 What’s the one place your brain goes, to daydream, to wander, to get away?

I always imagine one particular beach in Hawaii…

I have many days where I consider moving there. I think it’s one of the most beautiful places on earth 🌸🌊🌋

 Do it. I almost got a job at a university outside of Honolulu and I still occasionally think about some of the beachfront condos that were nearby. 
 Yes. A certain view, coming around a bend into a big sky, at the Sunday River mountain bike park in Bethel, Maine. From more than 25 years ago. 
 I surf and once lived on the Big Island HI. I caught at wave at a break called 69's with nobody out, double overhead, low tide on the reef,  no wind glassy conditions and it was one of the best waves I ever surfed, getting barreled and then pulling of one of my best turns of the top I have ever done. Nobody there to see it! That's where I go :-)
