Me, Backwards

I feel the need to start to write about Belize lest I forget it.  The sights, the sounds, the flavors!  Our trip started off well enough, but quickly turned into a bit of a travel hassle.  On Friday we flew from SFO to Miami, hopped a shuttle bus to our airport hotel, and had a mediocre dinner at the only restaurant within walking distance.  Up the next day, and over to the airport a few hours earlier to make sure we were comfortably at our gate in time for the flight.  No issues there - security was quite quick.  Settled in at the bar near the gate and texted our friends John and Laura who were coming in from Knoxville.  Met up with them and another friend John from Nashville, and caught up and anticipated our trip.

Between already feeling like I need to clone myself to get all my work done, and getting set for vacation (Belize in just over a week!) and making sure I have coverage, and having a lot of cool new things brewing in life … it feels BUSY.  Some good busy, some just busy busy, but not so bad.

I’m set for my skydiving team this year, which is exciting, but there’s a lot I need to learn (like all the 8-way competition formations!) before our first training camp in April.  But that’s fun learning.  In other fun, I started boot camp class at the Burbank gym yesterday … and it’s a wonderful ass-kicker!  Tuesdays/Thursdays for a month, though because of vacation and training, I only signed up for the first two weeks.  They seem to run sessions every month, so I’ll re-join for the session after I’m back, as well.  It’s nice to have someone to kick my butt down here since self-motivation can be hard.

Having dinner here in Burbank with a friend from graduate school - will be nice to get together and talk about something other than work for a change!
