Day 1: San Diego --> St. Thomas --> Tortola
I thought i was supposed to fly out on Saturday night's red eye, but instead while checking the time for the following night's departure, turned out to actually be the Friday night redeye. Valerie was visiting from LA and she was upset when she heard but took me to the airport anyways. Aaron & Caitlin ( Read more... )

after a day of sailing on Puget Sound with dad, Rudy and Helen under the clouds, the sun came out and glistened on us.  Darcy is in town from North Carolina, and so am I.  so we got together for the first time since maybe the Gary party in college (will look for that picture later to post)?  this time last year we all went to Crystals wedding and ( Read more... )

all day thursday i thought it was friday, note my disappointment when it wasn't.  i had a great meet-up with my amazing hair dresser Tina, who lightened me up: my base one shade lighter than natural, blonde highlights throughout and some dark chunky peek-a-boo low lights for fun.  afterward met up with a few Kings Pointers for Troy. meh.

Wednesday:  we finally pulled in after having to turn around outside of SF Bay to crane off our broken helo (with Ryan Hawn as the pilot, it was great to see him again, regardless of the circumstances. so we got to San Diego a day late.  I met up with Briede and we started house shopping in PB before my meeting with a potential roommate Julianne in ( Read more... )
