BUSY, BUSY, BUSY


Okay, my postings are becoming fewer and farther between! For one, of course, I am back to school. It's a busy time of year (what time isn't?) with CSAP, report cards, and parent teacher conferences all looming. My class also seems to be getting more difficult every day. Maybe it's all the inside recesses and 6th weekend snowstorm in a row in the mail?

Even more than that though I am taking 2 grad school classes. See, I would've taken 1 last semester and 1 this semester but neither of the 2 I needed to graduate were offered in the fall! I really want to graduate and be done (and get a raise!) in May so I have to just get through it....which means 2 15-hour days a week with evening classes, and homework all weekend-boo! Okay, now I'm done whining...err, that is, explaining why you might not hear from me for weeks on end!

On the bright side, I've had some good poker games lately....got 4th in Hold' Em on Sunday and 1st (!!) in Omaha! Then I got 2nd on Tuesday...and smoked last night. Oh, well. I know, you're thinking, how can she complain about being so busy when she's playing all this poker? Well, to my credit (okay, maybe not CREDIT) I have been taking my laptop to the bars/restaurants and actually working. The only reason I didn't win the 2nd game Sunday was because I didn't play it! Sat and read and typed. So don't get too jealous of my raging social life! Drop me a line, all....

Okay, okay, I don't have a picture of me studying during poker, phew, but here is a Costa Rica picture instead. Time to go back, I think!

Raja Ampat Part 4: Fam Islands

Image
 No trip to Raja Ampat is complete without visiting the picturesque Fam Islands. Pictures don't do them justice, but here are a bunch of pictures anyway! First we went to the main Fam Islands hike. It was short and steep and breathtaking in more ways than one!  See the islands on the left of the 100000 rupiah note? They should look familiar! We also hiked up to the Star Lagoon. This was a much steeper scramble, not recommended for the unsteady, the flip-flop wearers, or those with a fear of heights.

Week in Review (updated with pix & video)

Image
You know life has been hectic if the Rockies made it into the World Series almost a week ago, I was at the game, and no posting has occurred yet! Okay. Monday. Got into a minor fender-bender on the way downtown which really delayed things. Then my battery died, from having the hazards on. At that point, I figured my day had to get better, because it really couldn't get worse. It did (get better, that is). :) The Rockies beat the Diamondbacks, 6-4, and SWEPT the series (again; more broom pictures to be posted later) to win the National League Pennant and a pass to the World Series, for the first time ever!!!! It was very exciting, needless to say. After the game, they presented the NL pennant and had a little ceremony. The game was really long, it started at 8:18pm and at 10:00 it was only the 4th inning. The only reason this was important was because...I had to pick Toni up at the airport AFTER the game! So that happened at about 1am, then I drove him up to his house in Lafayette.

Raja Ampat Part 2: The Resort

Image
 Listen, normally I am not the type of person to leave a whole post on a resort. Because,  1. I'm a teacher and I can't afford to stay nice places 😆 2. Actually I do budget a lot of money for travel but I'd rather go basic for 3 weeks than all-out for one week. This is an exception. When I checked into my room I felt like I should have been there on my honeymoon.  (There's always the future....Mr. Right, are you reading this right now?!?) Anyway I'm making an exception because otherwise what will I do with these gorgeous room pictures, right?? The place I stayed is called Papua Diving-and they have 2 places you can stay, Sorido Bay or Kri Eco Resort. Due to covid, Kri Eco Resort hadn't reopened-it might be where I had stayed if it was an option-so I stayed at Sorido! Without further ado, here are those pics.  While Sorido Bay had a couple of bungalows for families, I didn't see those. Most lodging is these smaller individual bungalows spread out along the b
