I am glad you had a nice trip Susi! It is always so nice to take a vacation!

I love to travel too. I wish I could do more of it. It sounds like you have a

blast! Congratulations on getting back into WW! I started Tuesday and love

the point system so far! It is so easy. But my exercise has been another

story. I have only worked out three times this week, each time doing a basic

workout. I am pretty hard on myself if I don't do the advanced... Anyway, I

am so glad that you are back and that you had such a good time!

[Guest guest]

Well, I must admit, I haven't read any of the old posts that were

posted since I've been gone because I simply don't know where to

start, so I'm just going to start after this post. If there is

anything that I missed that you think I should know about, please

drop me an e-mail (Susifloozi AT aol.com).

The Weight Watchers at Work program started at my company today, so I

have started again! We'll see how it goes.

I haven't done Tae-Bo in awhile, and I haven't even really got to

take a look at all the workouts with everyone in them. I've looked a

little bit, but will hopefully do so this weekend. So far, everybody

looks fabulous, but I'm sure you've all heard that already this past

week. It never hurts to hear it again, though, does it? LOL

My vacation was really fun, but I have really missed everybody here.

It was wonderful seeing my mom and dad, and everybody at work loves

my Bo braids! LOL I got a lot of attention from men in San

and St. , so that made me feel good. Unfortunately, I

also got my pictures back from the trip, and the only one that has me

in it is very depressing.

St. is fascinating. We went to a couple of different beaches

while I was there, which I enjoyed thoroughly. I actually SANG when

we went to karaoke. This is huge for me because I get so nervous

singing solo. I figured that was the best time to do it since I

wouldn't see anybody there again (except my parents and they love me

no matter what). I have never done it before, but I did it! Maybe

the next time we all go to a taping, we can go out to a karaoke bar,

and I can try it again with the love and support of my friends. The

culture is very different than what I am used to. I loved everything

about it except all the dogs barking and roosters doing whatever it

is they do all night long.

San was wonderful. On the way down, I stayed in a resort hotel

right on the beach, and on the way back, I stayed in Old San in

a hotel that was built in the 1400s. Both places were so different,

but both exquisite. Each had a special flavor of their own. I did a

fair amount of shopping there (YIKES). I bought a watch for

myself...it's not the original one I wanted, but it looks a lot like

it and it was roughly $250 cheaper, which works for me.

I've learned that I really love to travel to places and explore

them. I want to do so much more of it, but I just have to figure out

how. It makes me very happy. However, it also makes it difficult

when I get home. Guess that's just another area where I need to find

balance!

That's it for now!

The balance will come Susi - really, it will.

You mean there is more to see outside the midwest????? LOL I

shouldn't complain - at least I have been to the west coast. It could

be worse, I could have just been born, raised and died in North

Dakota! OOPS! I will have been those three things (more then

likely). If travel isn't in my near future, I hope to goodness it is

in our retirement years. Notice I say " travel " not moving. LOL I

don't want to move to see places anymore - I want the airplane, motel,

and vacation days not the finding a place to live; cable, phone,

utility hook-ups; new address.

Glad your back safe and sound Susi!

Susi,

I am so glad you had a good time on your vacation! I really missed

you while you were gone Karaoke sounds like so much fun....we'll

definitely have to do that next time we're in LA! I love to karaoke

and I can't sing at all....so you'll just have to let me go first so

you won't be nervous....LOL! I know exactly what you mean about

loving to travel! I love taking roadtrips....some of my best memories

are of trips I have taken with my friends or even by myself! It's

always so much fun to go to a new place and explore! I also know

what you mean about coming home! Every time I come back from visiting

my aunt (which I'm going to do in a few hours) it's always an

adjustment to be home! Good luck with WW and starting over

again....just take it one day at a time.....you can do it

Well, I've got to go get the last of my stuff together! I'll be at

my aunt's until Memorial Day, but I'll have my laptop so should be

able to keep in touch!

[Guest guest]

Susi,

It sounds like you had a great adventure and a nice break.

I love traveling and I find I'm much braver when I'm off

somewhere too.

I guess I feel more free to be my true self without people

and places around me that are so familiar. It's a wonderful

feeling and I'm so happy that you sang!!!

Susi, welcome home! It sounds like you had a great time. Now you make

me want to go to the islands. You are a good travel writer. I know you

have beautiful voice from hearing you sing in the car in LA. If I had a

voice like that (which I definitely don't), I sing too, even karaoke.
