The big boat was nice. The destinations were even better. The flight to and from, meh.

The Bahamas was great. Had a fun filled and sun filled day of snorkelling. So much so that I got a lovely sun burnt back to show for it. I'm still healing up right now and it's been five days. Peeling will begin soon enough, if it already hasn't. The second day was spent walking around the famous resort on Paradise Island, Atlantis. Really quite a huge complex, though partially overpriced and you can tell that the economy has hit them hard.

It was a great way to spend turkey weekend with my family. Couldn't have asked for more (well maybe a direct return flight).

Only a few days away before I'm on a large boat. Yay! I'm really looking forward to the fews days of away. I plan on packing away as many fresh coconuts that I can find. Mmmm... Yum.

The weekend was a good one. Had a great class and came out of it with less bruises and more confidence. Had a great visit with friends last night and today. Got a massage. Yay. Worked on the garden and have half of it done. All in all productive in many respects.

Still Going...

Okay, it's been two years since I last wrote. In a nutshell...

1. I've been travelling a lot for work. I train people on the software that my employer developed. I go across the country and do my best to get our clients comfortable with the software.

2. Summers have been occupied by none other than... The deck. Yes, the deck that I mentioned in my last entry. The same deck. The deck has become a lot over the last three summer. Summer of 2008 saw the addition of a pergola. This past summer was the addition of an outdoor kitchen with a built-in gas bbq and a sink (hot & cold water feed).

3. If work isn't keeping me away and the deck isn't keeping me busy, I've been trying to keep up with the rest of my life. Family, friends and squeezing in travelling whenever I can.

4. Travelling. Punta Cana, DR. Vancouver, BC. Las Vegas, NV. Orlando, FL. Montreal, QC.

5. Food. I've enjoyed a lot of it. I've enjoyed it wherever I have been.

Okay, so that's a really rough idea of how life has been over the last two years. As always, there were a lot of ups and downs along the way. Ta ta for now.

It's been a long time since I last wrote. Our summer has been dominated by one thing...

The Deck

Anyway, we're near the end of this phase of deck building so I may be popping in here more often. Outside of that, I feel like my trip of a lifetime was eons ago. I wish I was still there. I think I miss travelling more than anything. It could be that I am tired and not tired all at the same time. My eyes are tired and really I should be going to bed but something is keeping me up. My eyes would really like it if I just shut them, however my brain isn't ready yet. Anyway just wanted to keep this short and sweet so off I go to try and lull all of me to sleepy land.

I actually worked a full week and waking up at 5-ish is not easy. Now that I think of it, I didn't mind waking up at 6 for the tours I was on. 6 seems so much nicer. Not much is going on with me. There were a few changes at work but it's all good. I hope that things are good and I will adjust fine. It always takes a bit to settle. Settle Angie, settle.

I'm back! Got home last night after a smooth flight back. It's been nice and weird being home so far. I got used to living in HK and just jumping around China that it's odd to be home. I've done nothing but laundry and unpacking so far. Thankfully I'm almost done.

While away I made a new friend. He's a great guy and we had a blast together. I'm looking forward to developing our friendship even more. In addition to making a new friend, we both met a nice couple vacationing from Spain. We exchanged contact info and hopefully J & I will be able to visit them there.

Mochi is out cold right now and I think he has the right idea except that I really don't know if I should have a nap or not. So far I've been pretty okay with the time change. I am tired but I don't know if that is more from the lack of sleep (5 hrs the night before my flight & only a few ours on the plane). I did get about 7 hours sleep last night (the most I've had in the last 6 weeks). I'm looking forward to another 7 hours tonight.

Three days! Two fingers and a thumb. I can't believe it. Wow.
