The record goes down...and I need to stop blogging about weather!

Okay, for those of you following it....the old record of 63 consecutive days of snow cover....still stands. We fell 2 days short with 61 days. Then we got some lovely Colorado-style February weather with several days in the 60s this week! Woohoo! And then, of course, snow this weekend. And now: I will try not to blog about the weather anymore, because I think that's all I've been doing!

Unfortunately, I think it is because I have been too busy to do much of interest to anyone else lately. Work, class, homework, grading, report cards. See, where's the fun in that? Things are busy as always with report cards and 2 class assignments due this week, and parent-teacher conferences 2 days next week but behold! There is fun on the horizon! After conferences next week, I have a 3-day weekend and Toni and I are going to Vegas with his cousin and cousin's wife! So that will be a very welcome break! I don't really know what we're doing as they are planning everything but sounds like we'll be VERY busy while there! They have never been to Las Vegas and want to see everything. In case I don't get back to update until then (quite likely), I will definitely do so after we get back!

Yippee! Colorado warming is good news. You have been through TOO much. Have fun on your Vegas getaway. Wes and I were there for a (seriously!) Non-Profit conference a couple of years ago.
I loved going around to see all the over-the-top hotels with their various themes. The white tigers and dolphins were my favorites at the Mirage. However, I wasn't a fan of the gambling part when I thought about how all that $$$ could feed the homeless all over the world. Oh, well...to each her (his) own!

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
