Singapore

So you can get as excited as I am . . .

Let's look at a couple of things that Kim and I have on our list

• Wonder Full Light and Water Show
• A new Oriental Carpet along Arab Street
• Visit to Kim's school
• Little India for a delicious supper
• Wicked the broadway show
• Chinatown of course
• Dinner and a Movie complete with blankets
• And the vacation would not be complete without lounging by Kim's pool (in 2 weeks you will see another set of pretty toes in this pic)

On my way

Well after 6 months of incredibly stressful work, seeing more of my corner on the couch than I have of bed, the beautiful sunny days or of my fabulous husband, I am finally about to log some hours in the air and go visit my beautiful and funny friend Kim!

In just 19 short sleeps I will be on my way! Doesn't the temperature look fantastic?

So here is the agenda:

• Arrive in Singapore and spend a couple days getting aclimatized and recovering from the jetlag.
• Fly to Koh Samui, Thailand to attend a wedding, check out the beaches and eat some delicious Thai good.
• Tootle around Singapore a little more.
• Fly to Ubud, Bali to enjoy delightful massages, check out the monkeys in the sacred monkey forest, and do a little shopping.
• Enjoy all that Singapore has to offer including Arab street, the broadway show Wicked, poolside reading and of course a little shopping

I cannot wait to catch up with Kim again. I am so excited to visit a new part of the world I have never been to. I am dreaming about the photos that I will get to take. I will use every minute of relaxation to recharge my batteries.

Stay tuned to hear the adventures as they unravel. I am sure they will be entertaining. Especially with Kim in on the stories!

YUMMY

I was in Houston this last week for work. And although the hours are long and the days intense, the food was sooo delicious.

Southern states do Mexican in a way that Calgary never can. I don't know if it is our lack of fresh ingredients or maybe a lack of interest. Regardless, when I head south, Mexican is high on my list to find. So to ensure that I wasn't going to be disappointed, I had fish tacos, loads of fresh chips and salsa, enchiladas and tamales.

I also had the chance to spend some time with Megan. She took me to a yummy restaurant where we shared an ahi tuna appetizer, I chose a crab stuffed shrimp with a marscapone risotto and then we ended with a delicious souffle.

Add to the week delicious pizza, a great chipotle chicken salad, delicious Italian and you can now understand why I feel the need to go for runs while on the road!
