I included this map of New Zealand, not because it is so helpful, but just because it is so cute! We boarded our ship and were pleasantly surprised to find that the room I had chosen was just as spectacular as I had imagined (how often does that happen?). Blue Eyes loves a luxurious bathroom, … Continue reading New Zealand, week two: cruising

New Zealand, week one: old friend
After a quick good-bye hug to Paula, we were off in Ruby's little Suzuki Swift. Truth be told, Ruby did not recognize me when I walked right up to her at the meet-up spot. I recognized her right away. She looks exactly the same except her hair is now gray instead of brown. When we … Continue reading New Zealand, week one: old friend
New Zealand, week one: new friends
We were delighted when we boarded our plane from Tokyo to Auckland and found out the flight would be approximately nine hours. Nine hours on a plane is do-able for us. That's about how long it takes to fly from Portland to Tokyo and we do that all the time. For some reason I thought … Continue reading New Zealand, week one: new friends
I’m baaack
Okay, so anyone else picturing Jack Nicholson? Just me? Moving right along... I think this is the longest break I have taken from blogging since I started this thing 2 1/2 years ago. I wanted to write, I really did, on some days at least, but it seems the entire six weeks of our holiday … Continue reading I’m baaack
Let the count down begin…
Well, I know I am a little premature with this count down, but that is how insanely excited I am for the upcoming trip we will embark upon next month. And maybe I am just a teeny bit stir crazy at this point since I have not really been out of the house for a week now … Continue reading Let the count down begin…
Travelogue: Tokyo
So, as much as I tried to stay mad at Blue Eyes (not really... I don't try to stay mad at anyone) it is impossible to stay sad or mad in Japan. It just is. It is so strange here and I really cannot walk five steps without going, WTF? But in a good way, … Continue reading Travelogue: Tokyo
Living in denial
Blue Eyes is now three years sober. He will receive his three year sobriety chip at his next Sexaholics Anonymous meeting. His official self proclaimed sobriety date is December 11, 2013. His last date of acting out with the other woman was July 30, 2013. His sobriety date corresponds with the day he decided for himself … Continue reading Living in denial
Travelogue: I’m all about the Hawaiian beaches, Oahu
Earlier this month we were in Hawaii. We explored a bunch of Oahu beaches. It really was paradise. The weather was perfect, the blues and greens so vibrant. I can't wait to return. Back home and sunset at Ko Olina Lagoon 3, Waianae Coast, Oahu.
Travelogue: North Carolina
I am still working on starting a travel blog, but in the meantime, here I am. This blog seems to encompass my whole life at this point. I left for North Carolina on Saturday, September 3rd and commenced my health quest on Sunday the 4th. The program included a beautiful and brand new contemporary one … Continue reading Travelogue: North Carolina
It still hurts
We are recently home from paradise. I returned from my six weeks of healthful living in North Carolina, spent one week at home seeing my own doctor and signing up for a local wellness center that offers all the fun classes I will want to take in order to preserve the exercise portion of my healthy lifestyle, … Continue reading It still hurts
