Dominica, part 1

I’m finally downloading the ton of pictures I took in Dominica. So… pictures soon!

Wednesday, 4/23/2008 - Prep day
I started the day with a personal training appointment, which went pretty well. We focused on arms and a few upper body muscles, and then I did 30 min of cadio - a 10/10/10 workout recommended by Mike, my trainer - 10 min on the bike, 10 ( Read more... )

OMG... I LOVE FLIP FLOPS! It amazes me that some folks don't find them comfortable but hey: I don't like heels, so go figure, right ( ... )

I will seek out some of the brands you recommended, because I would love to be able to love flip flops. I have one pair I like OK, but they're a little loose, and after a little bit of walking my foot begins to get crampy trying to hold them on. Thank you for the recommendations - there may be hope for me yet ( ... )

By the way, I detest heels too. Non-heel wearers unite!

One of the many great things about Dan is that because he's just a tiny bit taller than me, I don't have to wear heels because they'd make me taller than him. :) I wear them on occasion ... but never more than 1 1/2 inches... 2 at the most. They're just painful. I don't understand why my sisters like wearing them. I always feel like the odd one out when shoe shopping, because it's one of my least favorite activities (very un-woman-like of me).

I'm all for flip-flop shopping and occasionally for sneaker shopping but otherwise? UGH!

I never feel comfortable in heels, unless it's some kind of stacked/platform deal but since I wear a size 9, I always feeling like a drag queen when I wear them.

My friend Lisa SWORE that she'd never be able to wear flip flops but her DBF made her to buy a pair (I know, WTH, right?). She ended up w/ a simple flip by Reef from Journey's (kinda trendy-teen store at most malls), of all places. She LOVES them!

Ross University? Hmmm... I'm not sure where that one is. For such a tiny state NJ has some secrets. Your trip must have been really neat, though, since it sounds as if Dominica isn't a major tourist hot spot. Sometimes that's the best kind of place to go, you know?
