See You in 2010…



We just returned from two weeks in Maui to find Bend, OR covered in freezing fog– a weather condition I never knew existed.  It gives everything that perfect crystaline appearance, it’s so beautiful you feel like you’re in a holiday card from the 1950s.

And already the New Year is upon us.  Last year I spent the evening lighting firecrackers and toasting new friends in Guatemala. This year, I’m blissed out and tanned from my time in Hawaii, and snuggled up against the Northwest chill.  I love this time of year, simply for that question that hangs in the air… “what will come next?”

Happy New Year!

    Thanks for a year of smart tweets from me and my daughter, Jolie, an attendant for World Air.

  2. I have been reading your blog for a while. It is very well written. I have always focused on where you are and where you are traveling that I never knew where you came from. I was surprised to see that you are in Oregon. I live in Eugene and I thought I would just leave a little comment after subscribing to your RSS for so long. :)

    Happy New Year

    I also love the question, what will 2010 bring? However, this year I feel very confident I know what it will bring because of my goals and planning.

  6. Hi Christine,

    I’m a little like you a couple of years ago – straddling the fence, then leaping into nomadic existence. You offer great tips and a warm personality. Look forward to reading more.

  9. What a beautiful picture! I’m glad you’re back online, but how you can be happy about coming home to the cold after Hawaii, I don’t know! :-) I guess the secret is to “Love the place you’re in!” – Wherever that might be. Happy 2010!!

  10. That sounds rough. Sometimes I complain about the heat even though I know I shouldn’t but I just can’t imagine showing up to -30 or so back home in Canada.

    Have a great 2010.

  11. A friend who moved to Alaska described freezing fog to me. I can’t say it sounded very pleasant, although the photo makes the scene look peaceful and serene.

    All the best to you in 2010 – I imagine it will be a big year for your personally and professionally. Enjoy your time in Bend as the new year gets on its way!
