Half Marathon Training and Travel Tuesday

Hello Friends!

This is a scheduled post, which is unusual for me because I'm usually blogging on my phone or iPad. FYI, there is no option to schedule posts in the lovely blogger app. (Dear Blogger, please fix that and allow html in the app too.) All of the links are to the different Sandals resorts.

It is only 94 days until our Sandals trip and I thought I would reminisce on prior trips and share a few photos. Above, is the gorgeous white sandy beaches of Exumas Bahamas. It was stunning and the service was top notch! This was our first reunion week experience and it was totally by lucky chance. We have made it our goal to go to reunion week every year now. The reason for this is two fold: tons of extra goodies (free little side trips and swag) and the crowd is not your typical honeymooners (read, a more fun crowd!)

Here I am enjoying a lovely bike ride through the Blue Mountains of Jamaica. We went in January and while it was not "hot" enough for the pool, we had a great trip. This was where we first stumbled upon Sandals Select and all the fabulous rewards.

This was us in St.Lucia La Toc and this may have been my second favorite trip to Sandals because my sweety discovered the joys of being a pool hound!

Today's half marathon training is an easy 3 miles and I will have no problem getting in those miles. I may consider some strength training at the end. It depends on how I am feeling. Lastly, I'm picking up my new phone from fedex! I will have to show off that beauty tomorrow.

Make a Difference Monday

 

I took the photo above with a canon elph in Jamaica. We were on a bike tour and stopped to smell the coffee. I added the words with an iphone app. Sorry they're so hard to read! There are so many inspirational posters out there, I decided to make my own. I hope this little verse encourages you to try to stop worrying.

A tall task for me, to say the least.

Please stay tuned for my first guest post on my blog.

I'm very excited!

Top Pic Tuesday

Welcome to Top Pic Tuesday, where I enjoy sharing my favorite photos that I have taken. This photo is from Jamaica. I have an affinity for texture and lines. This is the shadow of the fence at the Bob Marley Mausoleum. I thought shadows would be fun to photograph, especially when there's a unique pattern. As I have gone around snapping shadows, its just not clear that these photos are as much fun as I originally thought but this one turned out alright. 

What do you think of this photo?

I am linking up with Rachel at Lala Lists for Loving Lately.

Please stay tuned for Weight Loss Wednesday. 

 

Instagrid party!

I'm not sure how this looks since I'm using my iPhone. The food is last nights dinner: shrimp, mushrooms, and brown rice. Red stipe=vacation in a can. That was almost all I drank in Jamaica. Sweet kitty named Chomps. A tribute to my favorite cup from Starbucks. I love the straw! Random snack from today. It was okay but I'll stick with almonds. I'm linking up with Anne from And everything nice. I'll do that later at home. Cheers!

Where would you like to go?

American Airlines is hosting a fun contest and I sent the picture above. Its fun to plan vacations and enjoy new places. I love traveling and seeing foreign countries. I want to visit more of Europe, South America, Asia/Pacific. My current idea is to visit Iceland. One of my other goals in life is to visit all of the Caribbean islands. I’ve been to the Bahamas, Paradise Island and Nassau, plus I’ve been to Jamaica, Ocho Rios. I have an empty passport, its time to get out there and see the world. I have new friends to meet out there too.
