Since 2020 is basically cancelled, trying to plan without any real plans. I had made plans with 2 other pilots to go to New Mexico for a few days and see my son, one had gone to New Mexico State (NMSU) and both are peers of my son. They are just too busy, one is … Continue reading Makeshift Summer

Day 60: Putting my big toe in the water
Empty Cannery Row pics & the fly by as profile pic Besides the crazy hotel night where my neighbors were continually knocking on my door, starting at 10p and scaring the crap out of me, this has been a nice mini-trip. Would I say it's safe to travel? I don't know about commercial airline travel … Continue reading Day 60: Putting my big toe in the water
Winding down my surf career :)
That fire was enough excitement for one trip, we keep re-telling it and are all in total shock that only that one roof burned down with no other major damage. What causes that? Is it a culmination of knowledge or just plain old luck? Everything was slow, fast motion...me seeing it and yelling, "Fire!! Get … Continue reading Winding down my surf career 🙂
Whoa Mexico
This was once my favorite place to go, La Salidita for surfing with Kristy Murphy Siren Surf Camps. I've had so much fun surfing with them throughout the years, until my body started saying FU. Never a great surfer, but since I grew up at a beach and am a total water woman I've always … Continue reading Whoa Mexico
Porsche vs UPS Truck – Hwy 1, California
Looks like I won't be making the Porsche racing squad anytime soon, even if I thought I was jamming down Hwy 1 from Mendocino to Jenner to get home. The time to do that drive is soon, I'm afraid a 2.0 earthquake or a good storm will be the end of Hwy 1. For now … Continue reading Porsche vs UPS Truck – Hwy 1, California

I'm in a partnership plane, last week I was a passenger taking pictures with 2 of the partners and … Continue reading California Week
After Holiday Detox – Monterey
Perfect time of year to go down there, great rates with few people and pockets of sunny weather. Summer down there is pretty cold and foggy, the water is always freezing. There have been years I've dropped off everyone at the airport after Christmas and just gone down by myself for a few days. This … Continue reading After Holiday Detox – Monterey

2019
This was a good year, started it out with low expectations then ended up on the road quite a bit. This isn't a popular blog, I've been doing it for a few years now as just a hobby. Plus, if I write stuff I think people would read I tend to stay a little more … Continue reading 2019
Mahalo O’hau
So ending my surfing career... Not really, I did book a private 2 hour lesson that turned out to be one hour where the guy caught a few waves while I was scared to stand up & fall. I'd been spocking out where I was going to go the whole trip, debating whether I should … Continue reading Mahalo O’hau
