The Big Island

For the past three days, my dude and I have been traveling around Puerto Rico and loving it. Because of Ty's discount, we were able to stay at the luxurious Ritz-Carlton for he first two nights, treated like kings and queens. Ty has never had a relaxing vacation, so the first day, all I wanted to do was sit by the pool, relax, nap and enjoy the beautiful Ritz resort. Ty throughly enjoyed this part of our day and later we went to explore beautiful old San Juan. The old walls and beautiful buildings inside the walls of the old town completely stole our heart. Our dinner was amazing both nights. The second night we ate at a vegetarian/pescatarian restaurant which was phenomenal. We had recommendation to go to this place from the Ritz and were told to ask for the owner. Once we met her and her team, both Ty and I were amazed with the wonderful food and ambiance. We got some free dessert too!

Yesterday we went to El Yunque National forrest which was beautiful and tomorrow we think that we will explore there again tomorrow. Tonight however, we get to explore the bioluminescent bay on Vieques. Vieques is a beautiful island off of Puerto Rico where we are staying at an adorable hostel.

Can we move here? Can we stay longer? When can we come back?
Ty and I LOVE Puerto Rico and every place we have been. And the adventure is not over yet!

Dear Old Friend

Dear old friend, I think about you a lot. As I go about my day I think about how something might make you laugh or say aloud an inside joke that no one understands. I smile as I remember a fond memory. But then I go about my day. At night is when I think about trying to reach out to you again. About what I should have said or what I should say to try to understand why we are no longer close. I come up with scripts in my head about a letter I should write you or a voice mail I should leave, so you know how much I miss you. Sometimes I get angry. Why did this friendship not last forever like I was sure it would? What did I ever do to be treated this way? How could you just leave me alone? Do you even care how I am? I ask myself these questions over and over. I get mad. Then I think. I think that you must not have done this to hurt me; sometimes people just drift apart. That you probably think about me sometimes too. That perhaps, sometimes you smile at an old memory we share. Gut...

Runners High

At 12:30pm, I stepped outside for the first time all day. I hadn't really even left my room until I realized that if I didnt go outside, I probably would bum it all afternoon. I put my running shoes on and bounced outside. I started walking and after I got myself settled, I started to run. After being cooped up, those first few steps of an outdoor run is so magical. The feeling of freedom, fresh air and adrenaline is fantastic. I always have a mad smile and excitement for being able to move so fast. After my first few minutes of running, thats when the exhaustion sets in. What keeps me going longer, is adventure. Do I like running? Not really. Do I enjoy exploring? Obviously. I decided to check out a new part of the power line trail that I have not seen before and ran up the hills, or on straight path, and walked down hills. I went to the beginning of the trail and back again, smiling at the other people who were also out for their afternoon walk/bike. The sun came out and it...

Longest Day Ever

This is the longest day of my life. Literally. No, like actually literally. Or maybe a bunch of the shortest days of my life...anyway... We started off in Wisconsin, not early but it wasn't leisurely either. Then the bus to the airport in Chicago where we were to catch our first flight to shanghai. When we checked in we were informed that we were given an illegal flight through china on our way back home. Apparently you can't even have a layover in an airport for longer than 24 hours in China. The airline was nice about it and helped us in anyway they could but they told us we would have to call our booking agency because it was their fault, not the airline itself. Good thing we gave ourselves plenty of time in the airport because we needed all of that time to figure it out. I called the company that gave us our tickets and the first thing the gentleman said was that we would have to pay a change fee on top of the price for the new ticket. I was not happy with that so I inquir...
