FacebookHelp me pick a 2010 picture of the year!
I meant to post this on Saturday, but I ended up posting those fireworks pictures instead, because I liked how they turned out. So here is my second and last "year in review" post --help me pick a "best picture of 2010" shot by posting in the comments with the number of the one you like. :-) Here's a link →
Maui Day 6: Going home
So as I write this, I'm actually already home and it's Sunday night -- we got home late Christmas Eve (Friday) after a quite uncrowded flight home. Nothing says awesome like an exit row all to yourself. Two, in fact -- John took one and I took one, and we both stretched out and slept. Now that's an awesome plane →

Maui Day 4: In which I finally make it snorkeling
I was a bit behind on one of my favorite webcomics, but I decided to catch up last night, and when I saw this one from Monday, I had to laugh. ~ Because I finally made it snorkeling yesterday, there's a dearth of pictures, or at least compared to my usual, ummm, overkill? I freely admit that I have a bit of →
Maui Day 3: Oh the weather outside is… pretty nice, actually
On Sunday, while we were sitting at a bus stop at a mall, groggily waiting for our second bus of the day, John observed how odd it was to be hearing Christmas music when it was 80 degrees and humid outside. I laughed then, but when we were out and about today and I heard yet another rendition of "Let →
Maui Trip Days 0, 1, and 2: Maui Christmas!!
What was the hint in yesterday's picture? Here, let me post it again: ~ I've never taken a spur of the moment vacation before, and I've certainly never taken one to someplace like Maui. But here it is, 5:00 Tuesday morning (stupid jet lag), and I'm sitting on the couch of the timeshare we scored on Ka'anapali beach, listening to the waves →
115,000 frequent flier miles
I've never taken a spur-of-the-moment vacation before, but this past Thursday, an opportunity came up that was too fantastic to pass up. We made the final decision early Friday morning, and at 3AM I cashed in every single one of my accrued frequent flier miles (as well as 11K of John's) to buy a pair of plane tickets. Where? Well, →
