Mexican Cruise

Michel and I did an 8 day cruise down the Mexican Riveria to celebrate Christmas and New Year's. It was a great time; lots of rest, great weather and food! What more could we ask for?! We left San Diego December 24 on the Carnival Spirit and arrived back Jan 1! We visited the ports of Acapulco, Zihuatanejo and Manzanillo.

New Year's Eve

I am the CAT IN THE HAT

Last night our school had a big Halloween event that we call "Spookarama." The parents and children came dressed up and took part in different spooky activities. My event was digging for spiders in cauldrons of spaghetti. It was a lot of fun.
As a Literacy Teacher, I thought my outfit was quite fitting!!

Autumn in New York!

Please forgive me for not posting! Things have been busy and that is my only excuse!

Michel and I met up in New York City for Thanksgiving. We had a great weekend. It was so hot.... in the 90's! Let's just say I was a little overdressed! We did a lot of the touristy things, went to a couple of shows and did some shopping.


Me at the M & M store in Times Square. You could buy almost anything you wanted with M & M's on it!!


Michel is a big fan of the David Letterman show! Here he is with Rupert G from Hello Deli! We had lunch there. So many other fans came in to have their pictures taken with Rupert. It was so funny!


Michel and I took a lovely carriage ride around Central Park. I really enjoyed it. The last carriage ride we did was a couple of years ago in Quebec City. We were not so cold on this one!


We did a harbour boat ride on one of those boats that is a boat and a truck. One of the things we saw was the Carnival Cruise ship that my mom and I are doing in March!

New York City

On our road trip back to NB, we spent a day touring New York City. I just love NYC....there is such an energy there! We took a hop on hop off tour of the city, visited the World Trade Center Site, and shopped at Macy's. A great day all around!

Here we are on the ferry to the Statue of Liberty.

I am going back to NYC in October to meet up with Michel. I can't wait!

Road Trip!

I arrived Monday night after a week long road trip from Arizona to New Brunswick. We had a good trip. We saw a lot of beautiful scenery and I must say I have become quite comfortable driving in the big cities!!


Me in front of Graceland... Memphis, Tennesse. We had no idea that it was the 30th anniversary of Elvis's death. Graceland was packed with 1000's of very dedicated fans.

Grand Canyon and Sedona

My friends Liz and Janie arrived on Wednesday. We spent a couple of beautiful days in the Grand Canyon and Sedona. We could not have asked for more beautiful weather.


Tomorrow we are off on our road trip across the USA to New Brunswick. I have mixed feelings. I am thrilled to be teaching again, however really sad to say goodbye to Michel. We plan on meeting up in October in New York City so it won't be too bad!

Happy Birthday Michel!

Michel celebrated his birthday Sunday! We went out for dinner at La Reforma in Agua Prieta, Mexico. It was delicious! Julie (aka Martha Stewart) baked him a delicious chocolate cake for dessert! Yummmmy!!
