Ahhhh!

Relaxing in sunny Mexico at the free internet station. No excursions today. Maybe I'll try to tan...haha. Yesterday was sailing with the whales. Very few whales and sailing didn't happen much due to the lack of wind, but still a nice adventure. The previous day it was a trip to Yelapa and some snorkeling. Although not officially a whale tour, there was some really cool whale watching and dolphins followed the boat on the way back.

The food here at the hotel is great. We're treated like royalty. I guess it pays to be in the Royal Suites. Even the food on the tours has been pretty impressive, especially on the sailing trip. I tried new foods...or new to me!! Some was good, others not so much.

My couch is enjoying the trip as well even though he can't swim and nearly fell off the sail boat. Ok, off to get some rays and read a book with a drink in hand. Have a good day!!

Having BLAST

I'm really enjoying my time in Mexico. We arrived at 2am on Saturday morning and fell fast asleep by 4am. We spent the day exploring and enjoying the food, the pool, and Royal Suite amenities. Today, Sunday, we realxed in the morning and then took a Canopy Excursion (Ziplining) which was a blast. We came back and spent a nice evening at one of the exclusive dining rooms. Very nice. We watched the show, which was hilarious. Now that I'm well drunk we're heading to the disco to see what that's all about and then off to an early tour in the morning. Have I told you I'm loving Puerto Vallarta?!!!

It's been a while...

Well, it's a toasty -6.8 right now at the Yellowknife airport and I planned my vacation for this time of year just so I could get out of the -40 weather. Jokes on me...hahaha. The temperatures are suppose to drop to -25 or so by Friday - the day I leave - so I'll feel a tad better about my choice of vacation time.

As for me, I'm currently training our new Supervisor. It's kind of funny since it's really slow. I mean REEEAAALLLLLYYY S L O W. There isn't much to train him on. We've completed 6, almost 7 days of training and I think he's almost ready to check-out. It's rather an uneventful thing to train someone with a lot more experience than I have. He's pretty easy-going so it's not such a drag and I get an extra $8.50 an hour while he's training.

What else? Not much really. I finished my second book of the year and am nicely on my way to completing my goal of 20 books this year. Another goal of mine is to stop wasting so much time. It was working OK, but then the TV started calling me again. I'm working on it. My third goal (I had more, but realized I have limits) is to get back in touch with friends and family I've lost touch with over the years. There are plenty of ways to do that, but my preferred methods is snail mail. Although most of the people reading this I already keep in touch with, you may just end up seeing random cards, letters, recipes, whatever end up in the mail box.

Oh, I'm headed to Puerto Vallarta in a few days (5 to be exact) and am really looking forward to some warm weather and nice pools. I'll let you know how it goes.

Have a super day!

Lesson of the Day...

When driving a small car in a place where there is lots of snow, do NOT drive into the unplowed area that doesn't look all THAT deep.
