I don't think I'd ever choose to visit Palm Beach, but Jon's firm took us to Florida in November and I haven't been traveling much this year anyhow. From the flight down, full of snowbirders of a particular feather, to the woman who checked in after us, who all the clerks greeted, "Welcome back, Mrs. Guggenheim," it was a different kind of place ( Read more... )

I have no cope this morning, and my head is itchy and I can't wash it, so you get a post.Jon and I went to a scuba refresher last night, just in case the dive shop on Grand Cayman decides to be anal about things. Last time I'd been scuba diving was almost 3 years ago and those people got all pissy when we were on the boat to the dive site and ( Read more... )

The rest of my trip to Seattle was quite nice as well. Fri morning, I woke early and packed. When the older couple and my tentmate woke up, I convinced them to go to breakfast at The Copper Creek Inn. I was a good girl and ate scrambled eggs before moving on to my breakfast, homemade blackberry pie with ice cream. I'm not a huge pie fan in general ( Read more... )

I just signed up for the Coney Island Aquathlon and my boyfriend is currently swimming, so now's the time to post to LJ, right?

Anyone want to work out together next Monday, July 2? There's a program where all NY's city fitness facilities are free the first Monday of every month, under the BeFitNYC Free First Mondays. I have a NYSC membership, ( Read more... )

What they don't tell you about the Galapagos is that they are the best islands for newbie naturalists evuh, bc there's only a limited number of species there. Hurrah! 'course, if you ever go anywhere else, you're fucked, bc there's nowhere else in the world the animals will sit there and just look at you while you take 58426142 pictures of them. (I ( Read more... )

Originally my brother wanted to go to Florence for a week with his friends for his 30th birthday, but one of his friends dropped out, so he changed it to a long weekend on Turks & Caicos with the entire family. No one's been able to remember a trip with all six of us since the trip after my freshman year of college when we went to London & Paris ( Read more... )

I often walk past midtown bars during the summer and think to myself, "Wouldn't it be nice to be out drinking with friends?" I don't know why I never seem to partake of this young professional ritual - maybe bc I really prefer intellectual conversation over a tasty meal - but I'm often jealous, even knowing that they don't actually like the people ( Read more... )

Fri morning, my fave track star didn't run away fast enough, so I shanghai'd him into watching me run on the treadmill. He commented that I run very inefficiently, in ways that might be aggravating my underlying ankle issues, but based on his comments, I'm thinking of hiring a running coach. I've taken running classes with NY Roadrunners, but ( Read more... )

Weekend was more of the same. Sat morning I wrote and lounged about the house. Sat afternoon I went to Chelsea Piers again. Somehow, this time I managed to forget my shirt and a change of underwear. What is up with my subconscious?? I bought a fugly shirt there and went to hatha yoga. ( yoga, climbing, and swimming )
