No sooner than I am unpacked, I am packing up again.
Off to Vancouver tommorow for the Easter Weeekend.
More fun to be had.
I am sure....

Well. I have returned from the Dominican and am a lovely shade of honey brown. The good news is that we are all speaking still, and there was only one "pool blow up". No casualties.
The weather was just perfect. I imagine that it was about 35 each day. Not a drop of rain the entire week. The hotel was beautiful, nice rooms, and I had no complaints about any food. They were great at keeping us hydrated, bottles replenished in our rooms daily, and coolers all over the place to refill. There was of course a swim up bar that got put to good use.
Interesting behaviour from people though. The expression "All inclusive, no problem" comes to mind.
The staff work so hard, and play hard as well. They get to live on the resort and get fed as well. It is the best job that they could have. I stayed on the resort for the most part, left only once to go horseback riding. That was TONS of fun. But it is certainly a reality check when you see the poverty that is just on the other side of the fence. It is amazing the things that I have to live with, when I see what these people live with. It makes you re evaluate everything, if you have a conscience.
Am out the door again this weekend. Have planned a jaunt to Vancouver to visit with the cousins and Sarah, a friend from University. Should be fun. Can't even begin to think about packing. I guess it is a blessing as I have to unpack before I can pack again.
Have a great day.

So this is it.
My last posting being 30.
As of midnight I will be 31. And I am ok with that, as I still feel that I am 25.
Had a few drinks with a few of the girls on Saturday, and think I managed to be the most sober. After a little incident with nipples and keys locked into the running car.
I like low key. Would rather jump through hoops for others bdays and keep mine hush hush. So it worked out well.
Less than a week to go before we leave for the Domincan and then on my return I am off to Vancouver to visit my cousins and my friend Sarah.
It will be a busy month.
Thinking of my sister who is in Sri Lanka this week. Imagine the fun that she must be having. This is the first March Break that we havent spent together in a very long time.
And with that, a hot shower and bed for me.

And I am ok with that, because I still feel like I am 25. And maybe I look like I am. Who knows.
And for me birthdays are not really a big deal. I would jump through hoops for my friends to celebrate their birthday in style. However I am embarassed that people would do something for me. Strange, I know.
As of last year, I decided that I was old enough to have a birthday month. I guess having March Break helps with that equation. And with that in mind, the countdown is on for the Dominican Republic. Look out, here we come. On my return, 4 days of work and then am off to Vancouver for Easter. Busy busy.
Thanks for the wishes from exotic destinations. Greatly appreciated!!!
And with that, hitting the showers and going to bed.
