Skydive Dubai

So, I went skydiving for the first time, last summer with my sister in law, Christine. It was amazing and I was hooked right away, so when a friend mentioned it would be cool to jump over Palm Island in Dubai, I was immediately in. I went with three amazing friends last weekend and we jumped. It was incredible. Again, I'm more a fan of living life than writing about it, so I'll let the pictures tell the story. Enjoy!

Sri Lanka in April

Below are the links to albums of pictures (lots) from my recent trip to Sri Lanka with my best pal at Kaust, Stephanie. It was an amazing trip. Thanks goes out to Maduranga and Kristin for helping us organize it and to Rohan for being an incredible guide and driver. He became a close friend for life. Speaking of life...I LOVE MINE! Look at the crazy stuff I get to do. And people told me it was a terrible idea to move to the middle east. They are close minded and believe what television tells them to believe. It's too bad- more people should do this kind of stuff. One thing is for certain: EVERYONE SHOULD VISIT SRI LANKA! It is an incredible place with warm, wonderful people and a beautiful culture. I loved every part of it. 


Have a look at our week in paradise!

Wedding Bells in Kathmandu

So, I might have last posted in December. It would have been about my recent trip to Nepal, to hike in Langtang region. I mentioned at the end that I fell in love with my mountain guide, Rovin. Well I sure did and it was a whirlwind from that point on. I just got back from another trip to Kathmandu, where we were married on May 8th, 2012. We didn't have a formal ceremony (we will have one on June 23rd) because I'm still in work and don't have time off until school lets out. We just went to the city office and filled out an application, got some photos taken, signed our names a million times, left our thumbprints on a bunch of papers, paid a bunch of money, and waited, and waited, and waited. After about 3 hours, we were married. Below is a link to the album of pictures we took during the week and some I took when I got back. I'll let them tell the story....chapter one anyways.

I'm looking forward to the traditional Nepali wedding in June and to (hopefully- pending Rovin's tourist visa to the US) another party in Maine in July.

Enjoy.

Signing off now....
