Spent an action packed week in Okinawa. Scuba diving was fantastic. Took a battlefield tour with Chris Majewski that was absolutley unbelievable. Had great Okinawan food, saw the sites and experienced a little of the culture. Even got to train a little with my sensei.
If you're thinking of going I would suggest the book "Okinawa Explorer" as an invaluable guide. Google the name and you will find the site.
Seriously jealous of those of you who get to live there.
