Not exactly on the beach
Jan. 8th, 2012 01:55 pmHey everyone *waves* I found out that I have Internet access on my iPod as long as I'm near the coffee house, which is by the front desk, which is as far from the beach as you can get and still be within the club. But it's beautiful down here, mid 70s during the day and 50s at night. I've been feeling better than ever, which is what happens every year. It's the reason mum and I want to move somewhere warm.
I'm keeping a daily blog on my iPod that I'll be able to upload when I get home. There really isn't much happening, tomorrow mum and I are going to the glass factory to look for stuff for the wedding. If I see something small and fun I might get t for Sensei. :) that would be a cute addition to the project.
I miss my girls and chatting at night. It's quiet here and we go to bed about 2100, but still. When you get used to something, it's hard to give it up, even for the week.
Don't know if I'll post again before I fly home. Might see if I can check in from Seattle, but it's a short layover, so I might not have time.
*hugs*. =^.^= ja ne

home, masa, trip, PoT
Jan. 14th, 2011 02:28 pm*screams like a fan girl* I just pre-ordered this...
Can you pick out Masa??? I can't wait to see this. It doesn't release until April though, so I have to wait. Probably impatiently, knowing me with movies.
-------------------
We landed at 0130 this morning, roughly, and I'm still half asleep. I think I might go and nap here in a bit, I have to work tonight, but I wanted to put up a post about the trip with some pics of where I was staying. I don't think I've done that before. Maybe.
Remarkably enough I only got a really bad headache from this trip, rather than my full-blown sickness that usually descends on me when I travel. It was so weird being able to eat on the airplane. That more or less never happens. Let's see, I did absolutely nothing but read, write a little, and play my DS, oh yeah, and watch Tumbling and PoT on my iPod while I was gone. I'm not allowed to go to the beach for long periods of time and it was actually cold enough that I was only in shorts like twice and had my hoodie on a lot of the time as well. But it was just so nice to be able to get away for a week and not have the stress of work or anything else pressing on me. :) I did miss being able to get online to post/play on here and watch my movies, but it was bearable. ;)
So, pics.( sunny pics here )
I have to write to the airline and the TSA because I'm not real thrilled with either of them. I bought a hand-carved dragon walking stick in Cabo and was using it to get home - my knee. The ticket agent told me that I had to check it because it wouldn't be allowed on the plane. I just looked at him and said that I needed it to walk. He said he'd get me a wheelchair, but the cane had to be checked. I told him a flat no and he didn't look happy, but let it go. Yeah, no problems with security, the flight attendants, TSA or other passengers. So I'm going to point out to Alaska that it's against the law to try and separate someone from a medical walking aid. Just because I know the rules doesn't mean others will and they might believe him. So not letting that happen.
Then, in Seattle, my Mum found a bag just stuck back by the trash with no one around. She had me come look at it because she knows about my training with the TSA and I said that yes, it needed to be reported. So she told the cleaning lady, who more or less ignored her. I told mum to go to the TSA and, when she did, they said it wasn't their responsibility and to tell the venders. She did and the venders said that they couldn't leave their stands. I'm just glad there wasn't a bomb in the damn thing. We would have all been in pieces before someone actually listened to her. When they got back, it was gone, so we don't know what was going on, but it really freaked me out.
When we get home, we find that our poor cats had been abandoned by the girl Mum asked to come check on them, so none of them had water and their sand boxes hadn't been cleaned since I left. We are not happy about that one, but they're all fine if a little freaked out because they were alone for a week with no humans around. My poor kitties.

PoT. I got my PairPuir 8 disc and watched the cartoon drama. I about died when Sanada tried to kiss Ryoma. And Yuki is soooooo sadistic. But the best part, Jackal as the horse. I feel so bad for him. I'm ripping everything right now and will have it up soon for download. :)

Cabo pictures
Jan. 7th, 2009 06:31 pmFirstly, thanks everyone for putting up with the rants the past couple of days. I'm feeling much better today, mainly because I've been in my own world for most of it. RL doesn't get to invade there.
I finally downloaded and sifted through about 100 pictures from Cabo. Here are the highlights.

Need a beach icon
Jan. 1st, 2009 04:40 pmJust sneaking in from the beach in Cabo San Lucas Mexico to say Happy New Year everyone. *huge hugs* Its hot and beautiful here. I'll be coming home with pics, including one of me in front of the huge ice sculpture they had at the resort last night. My family isn't much for parties, but I'll say this - they really do know how to party down here. We were up until three in the morning just waiting for the bands to stop playing. *snicker*
I'm writing, not nearly as much as I'd hoped to be, but there's just something about the beach that makes one very, very lazy. I will have updates when I come home though.
See everyone in a few days.
