Shamu and Hollywood

 

 Sea world was conveniently close to us in Mission Beach so how could we pass up a visit to visit Shamu and all the other animals?

San Diego

It was so nice to escape winter for a couple of days with a trip to California with my family. It had been years since we'd all been together at once. Unfortunately my boyfriend couldn't come so I was a bit of a seventh wheel with both of my brother in laws being there, but even so, it was an enjoyable trip.

It's starting again

It's been a while.

As in over three months since I've posted last. As always, my expectations of this blog were higher than what was reasonable. I was trying to recap days and record my whole HK experience which of course failed when my days got busier and I didnt want to sit at my laptop, trying to remember everything I did in the last week and sort it into a comprehensible blog post. 

So instead, the blog posts stopped coming.

And once I returned to Canada and got settled into life in Victoria, there wasn't much to blog about. I didn't think people would want to read about how I went to work everyday at the Cactus Club and the various baking and Starbucks dates that happened on my days off. Also, I am horrible at taking pictures when I am at home. Send me somewhere else and I'll take hundreds for you, but at home I'm preoccupied and less inspired.

But, I do have some good news for this blog.

With a trip to San Diego this weekend and my departure for a three month stint in Bangkok come February (followed by two months in Tokyo) I plan to revive this sorry excuse for a blog. The blog will be different this time though. Less writing, more pictures. Less recaps of my week and more simple highlights. If you really have the need to know what I'm doing with my time, go ahead and follow me on Twitter or check out my Facebook photos, you know how many of those there were from HK!
