San francisco!!!

So I made the trip to San Fran yesterday to visit my cousin, Scott! I
got into SFO and took the train to Embarcadero area and he met me. We
got some great food at Elephant and Castle, along with a couple great
local brews. We headed back to his house and crashed about 11 pm(2am
my time on the east coast)

So of course I wake up about 630am local(930 eastern which is my
normal wake up time). I have a beatiful view of the bay bridge and
downtown san fran from his porch. Awesome!!! I will link to the
photos later!

At the moment, I am sitting on Pier 39, eating chowdah out of a
sourdough bowl and people watching. Might head to golden gate park
later. But I do know tomorrow I will be going to Alcatraz!!!! Oh
yea!!!!! Will post more soon!!

Maine it is!!!!

Well, I have arrived in Maine. Actually, I'm in Phoenix at the moment, but my car and stuff is in Rockland, ME. Here is a link of the journey from my last night in San Juan to my arrival in Maine... Long road trip, ugh, but it's over now.

SJU to RKD

And here are some pictures from my first couple days in Rockland.

Rockland Days

I also have a place to live... I will be sharing a home with a very nice lady named Betsy. She has a cat and a dog and a very homey little place for me to put my head. I think it will work out well.

Wow! Too long!!!

Hello everyone!! It has been over 2 months!! YIKES!! I have been slacking!! But here is my latest update.

I have 3 weeks left in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Then I will be moving to...................(drum roll)

Rockland, Maine!!!

it was my first choice with Cape Air and I was lucky enough to get it. I have never been to maine, but i have done a bunch research and that one appealed to me the most... Stay tuned for more updates as the days get shorter in San Juan!!

What a day!!

So Friday at work it started a bit confusing and frustrating and I'm not sure why. Everything was bugging me and set the tone for the day. I did one trip to Tortola, and then went to Vieques...

Well I got to Vieques and the ramp agent said, "I have 1 revenue passenger and 7 non-rev's". Meaning a bunch of fellow co-workers had spent the day there. Well, I was in NO mood to deal with all of them. So I put some tunes on my headset and jammed out for a few minutes. Then they all walk out, they are yelling at me, "hey Katie" "Que Paso"(what's up?) "KATIE O" and they were all in a super good mood... I'm sure the drinking on the beach all day didn't hurt any!!!

So They pile in and off we go. We are cracking up all the way to San Juan. They totally made my day. As we were coming in to land, they all put their hands in the air like they were on a roller coaster and were hootin' and hollerin'. Then I had a great landing and they started chanting, "katie katie katie" and saying, Let's go again, lets go again... " Well it turned my day from frustrating to awesome. So I headed off for my last round trip and it was a gorgeous night. What a beautiful day!!! Here is a picture of the whole crew!!!

Trip to PHX

So I went to PHX for a few days to see my friends. I needed a little recharging while I am struggling with some things in my life. The first few pictures are from my visit with Daren and Jeanne and their 3 gorgeous kids; Sydnee, Dillen and Ethen. I have known this family for 7 years and watched these dolls grow up. Daren and Jeanne are 2 of the best friends of have...

Fly West

My heartfelt thoughts and prayers go out to the families of the Pilots, Flight attendants and passengers aboard flight 3407 that was lost last night in Buffalo, New York. It hits close to home for me and my friends and family. It makes my family sad and nervous. They worry about me. I appreciate that, but I hate for it to put burden on them. God be with them all and lift them up. Give the families strength and peace.

if you have a few seconds, throw a prayer or good thought out to those in mourning today. They will appreciate the thought!
