Bagan, Myanmar: I rented a bike and bicycled around for about 6 hours, going in and out of all the temples, getting stuck in the sand, only so that a couple of nice children could push me out and get me going again in the heat of the desert.
I am a 33 year old elementary school teacher, born and raised in Honolulu, Hawai'i. After living in Seattle and overseas in Thailand for a total of 12 years, I returned to Hawai'i to help take care of my father, who was diagnosed with ALS, a.k.a. Lou Gherig's Disease, in October 2004. After 2 1/2 years of watching his body slowly decline, my father earned his wings April 2007 and is no longer suffering. The past couple of years was spent sharing valuable time together and making more memories, as my father got to "walk" me down the aisle, though he was a couple months shy of seeing the birth of his first grandchild. And now, with new life, the journey continues with baby Chase, as I learn how to balance teaching, marriage, and being a mom.
This online journal is a way for me to express myself, through my love of traveling, photography, and writing, while keeping in touch with family and friends.
