Brittian and Back Part II

So after Virgin Gorda, We hopped on our boat, the Bad Kitty, to our lunch spot. We ate looking out onto the water, eating some pretty delicious food. Then was our nap time. We relaxed on some comfy beach chairs until the horn from our boat sounded and it was time to get back on the water!

Our next stop was a snorkel spot! The three of us had a blast tooling around seeing cool stuff. We were the last ones back onto the boat. Here are some pictures Amber took:



Then off to Jost Van Dyke, BVI. There we walked along the beach, enjoyed the sun and hung out at the famous Soggy Dollar bar. This beach was one in which you pull up by boat and swim to land. It was pretty fun except after drying off and warming up, it was hard to get back into the cool water.

After the beach it was the sad boat ride back to the USVI. I have my first stamp on my new passport though (why doesn't Canada stamp??)!!

So we get back to St. Thomas and are walking back to Amber's dingy to head back over to my house. First of all, we get to the dingy dock and can't find Amber's dingy right away... Then seconds later, I find the rope and pull the dingy out from under the dock. Slowly, we start loading up all our things into the dingy, First Amber jumps in and then Dana jumps in; the two of them have their feet in the boat and are holding onto the dock with both hands. Then, in slow motion, the dingy starts moving under the dock again. The dingy is deflated so the two of them can't sit on the dingy and pull it back out again. Soon, both of them have their arms extended and are hanging with their feet in the boat. Dana says to Amber "Dont fall in! Dont fall in!!" and Im on the dock laughing so hard that I can't help at all. The dingy slowly keeps moving under the dock and Amber ducks under and grabs a pole to try to push them back out and she yells out to me "Meg, pull us out!" At that point, I pull myself together enough to grab the rope and save the day!

Red = Passion

Yesterday, I had a shit-eating grin as I was winding through local streets, pedaling and feeling the warm breeze in my hair. I recently, in the last month, moved to the DC area and have been struggling to fit in and find my place. This month, Ty and I got our own room in a place that we share with a few others that are our roommates in our new town. But there are still so many things that are missing in my life. I need yoga, rock climbing and freedom to get around on my own. On Tuesday afternoon, I took that first step at transportation freedom in the form of a two wheeled vehicle. I took the metro to Virginia which is a bit of a ride from my new home on the Maryland side. I stopped at one of the last metro stops and walked out into the sunny, nice weather. I was meeting someone from craigslist who was selling a little, red Schwinn bike. I exited the station and immediately saw the little red bike being held up by a sweet looking, older man. I introduced myself, took the bike for a...

Guatemala: Day One Adventure

The following is a conglomeration of journal writings that I made about my travel day to San Marcos, Guatemala and some additions to make it all run together smoothly: 11/5/15 6:60am Chicago I JUST made my first flight. It helped that the dude behind me in the security line was on my flight. We chatted a bit about travel and it eased my mind a little. I get so stressed out when Im not early... I had to take the earliest bus from Milwaukee at 4:30 am. I slept three hours. 10:55am ATL I think I smell... I didn't do that deodorant thing this morning. Whatever. I had less than an hour layover and had to run through the huge ATL airport to get to my gate. I got there with a bit of time though which is nice. Im between two not so fun humans. One is a very large man who thinks he can have half of my seat (though at least he seems nice) and an older woman who I don't think speaks good spanish or engligh. Also, when she's passed out its fine but as soon as she wakes up, the ...

Best Friends

I swear that I have the best friends on the planet and I know everyone is jealous. But Ill share them! Last night I went to Milwaukee to see a friends band play on Water St. It took a lot of energy to leave the house. Oh, how I wanted an early evening and to cuddle up in bed with a good book. We all know that those end up being the best nights out, when it was hard to get out in the first place! There ended up being a huge group of us. Ive always wanted a large group of friends and now Ive got it. And even more friends around the world. I can't believe how awesome that is and how awesome they all are! Anyway... We pretty much took over the dance floor with our crazy moves. It was so fun! I got a text from my mom saying that I should just stay in Milwaukee considering the bad roads after the first snowfall. I didn't argue. On the hike back to the apartment after the show, there was snow everywhere and it was cooold. Thank goodness my friends are so great and threw snowba...
