Friday Shorts

TGIF. This has great meaning for me this week. After two weeks away from my desk, this week seemed VERY long.

But, I survived. My boss decided to “get back at me” by scheduling a 2 week vacation starting July 2.

Here’s what’s going on this weekend for me:

Tonight, I will be chilling and watching baseball. G-men vs. the Kansas City Royals… I don’t think there is a less attractive game for sports fans

Really looking forward to Saturday. We’re heading to the city to catch Pete’s cousin, Anthony’s flick. Check it out, http://tinyurl.com/6ocbrs – I had no idea he was doing this but it was his dissertation project to get a PhD degree. Now I know two people who have created documentary films!

Saturday night my SF pals are coming out of the woodwork to hang out (let’s face it they want to escape foggy SF) to have dinner with Pete and I. We will check out the new “hotspot” in Danville, http://tinyurl.com/5jy6wd – only wish Ayelet could be there to join us. She is definitely my new restaurant partner in crime. Alas, she will be in Barcelona – I shouldn’t feel too bad!

Sunday is a belated Father’s Day celebration with my family. I’m sure my mom will create a masterpiece lunch for us and it will be fun to catch up with everyone.

My foot seems to be healing, which is very good news. After all, walkies with Lucy are a requirement, not an option.

Have a great weekend, all!

Bermuda

Bermuda is beautiful. It was the first Caribbean island I had ever visited. I must say it is quite a beautiful place… pristine, clean and you can definitely get a sense for the British influence.

We cruised here from NJ. I enjoyed the experience for the most part, except for the rough seas due to storms off the Atlantic coast. I have a tendency to get sea-sick and the 2nd day of cruising was pretty painful. BUT, we made it and I really enjoyed hanging out at Hamilton Beach, where, yes, the beaches are pink… guess it is cause the consistency is coral rather than silicon.

I must say, do not make plans to stay here for a week. I really feel like you may run out of things to do. The beaches are beautiful but there isn’t much else to offer. I didn’t make it to Hamilton, the capital, so unless there is a plethora of fun stuff there…. Bermuda is a 2 or 3 day trip max. Unlike places like Hawaii or Mexico where you can find good hiking and other areas to explore, I felt like Bermuda was a bit limited.

BUT, as I said, it’s beautiful, pristine, clean, and everyone you meet is ultra polite and fits that “island relaxed” style.
