In June, I'm moving from Los Angeles to live in the islands of the South Pacific. My wife, Carla Sinclair, and our two daughters (ages 5 years, and 8 weeks) are going with me. We sold our house in Studio City, and have been preparing for several months. The first place we'll be staying is the island of Rarotonga. It's due south of Hawaii, as far south of the equator is as Hawaii is north of the equator.
We want to move around to different islands every few months. We'll come back in a year or so. I'm going to try to keep writing and illustrating. Most of the islands have cybercafes, so I'll be blogging. I'll occasionally post to boingboing.net, but most of my blogging will be on The Island Chronicles blog at boingboing.net/island. The plan is to post a new photo and caption every day. I have a few sample photos already posted, as a way to test the design.
If you've traveled to the South Pacific recently, especially Rarotonga, or the other Cook Islands, I'd love to hear from you. Please email me at mark@well.com, or call my voice mail at 818-475-1350, or post a message in the discuss link. Kia orana!
