Sleepovers in Big Bear

I had made many a trips to Big Bear during the snowboarding season being that it is really the only place you can do a day trip from Vegas. However a few times we got the luxury of having a place to crash for the night. Only Teresa and I would somehow manage to be able to make a crash pad out of Oscar de la Hoyas Big Bear cabin and training compound. The two of us and usually 15 or so of the worlds best fighters under one roof..... we consider ourselves very lucky ladies :)

The Intrepid Traveler

... all I could pray.

That prayer was answered August 5, 2009 with a generous severance check in one hand and a plane ticket to Texas in the other hand. Inspired by the book, "Eat, Pray and Love", a single female travels to Italy (Eat), India (Pray) and Indonesia (Love). I have dubbed this the “T” tour with the adjective appropriately revealed after the completion of each journey. The “T” ...

The Irony of Omakase

Ok, so today is my and my DH's anniversary. We had gone back and forth over whether we would stay in town or do an overnighter somewhere to celebrate. Either way, DH had arranged for the kids to stay the night with his mom.

We had been wanting to try this restaurant in town called, Omakase. Omakase is a word that I only recently added to my vocabulary. It basically is a Japanese word meaning chef's choice, i.e. you eat what the chef decides to make for you ...

The Adventure Continues #4

... and rough hewn wood. So clean you could see yourself in every wall and floor. As I said Amazing!!!!! You can't afford to eat there often ($80 - breakfast 2 beers and 2 bloody marys) but what a gorgeous place and by the time we arrived there, I would have sold my arm for a cracker. Leave it to me to find the diamond wrapped in yesterday's newspaper. 1. Let Debbie find the restaurant if you want to end up in the poor house. 2. Breakfast ...

At Rancho Jurupa Park in Riverside

... 2 hours back to Riverside in the fog, when he might have to come back in the morning if my suspicions about not having a plane were correct. So, he did stay, and we managed to get a few good hours of sleep before my alarm went off at 5! I didn't see any fog outside the window, but the Weather Channel gave some information about rain changing to snow later that afternoon in Philadelphia, plus BIG snows in New ...

The very last session of this summer

... onto her head. I took her quickly to the health center, she was a bit bleeding from the back of her head. I managed to calm the girl a bit down, but the nurses faces didn`t look promising. After they cleaned up the head though, we found the scratch was not as bad as it looked. After everything one of the nurses asked me where I was from, as I was still new at that camp. "I`m from Poland" - my answer was. The little girl suddenly cheered up and she said: "Hehe, my parents are ...

LA Woman

... Diego than LA. We enjoyed a lovely dinner at a seafood restaurant at the harbour with John and Steph last night, it was fantastic to spend some time with them and visit the ranch, their hospitality was second to none. We had an easy trip back to LA (thanks for the excellent directions John!), returning to the hostel we stayed in earlier in the week. I am heading back North to San Fransisco tomorrow so will report from there next week. Love to you all and see you very soon! Heather
