I Survived!


Well I am back with both feet on the ground (what a wonderful feeling).  I accomplished my goal of getting and staying on a plane without any crash landings or emergency stops because of the crazy lady pulling on the door handle trying to get out.  Although I can’t say that I loved the ride,  I did get an amazing view going over the Grand Canyon that will stay with me forever.  Our destination made it all worth it.  To leave 2 feet of snow still on the ground and go to 33 above with green grass and colors, smells and sounds that were beyond beautiful would force pretty much anyone to get on a plane.  Man have I been missing out! 

I have to admit I got a little behind on some requirements.  I’m playing catch up on some push ups and sit ups.  I found out that although a beautiful and peaceful place to do forms, the beach sand also is really hard to keep ones balance.  I decided against taking my broadsword in my luggage, may have raised some eyebrows and got me escorted to the back room.  Kilometers were awesome!   One day alone we put on 25km.  At the resort we were staying at, they were holding a National Karate Tournament with teams from Canada, US and Mexico.  Unfortunately they started as we were getting in a cab for the airport, but we did get to watch some of the practicing.  Very cool!  We had an absolutely great time!  We did decide that next time it would be a good idea to brush up on the Spanish (good idea to know more than where is the bathroom?).  Maybe start watching Dora the Explorer or better yet beg my sister in law for lessons. Oh Steph……

So now I am back to reality.  April was full of courses, got to go on a great holiday and now we are hitting the ground running with work.  I think it’s going to be a busy summer!

Adios for now,
