First, a disclaimer about my misspellings and missing words. I will probably do this very often in my blogs. It is not easy to capture my overflowing thoughts when I have so many of them...LOL. So please bare with me and feel free to fill in the missing words as you like.
Now, aren't you glad that it is finally Friday today? I don't think I have ever looked forward to a weekend as much as I have with this one. I have so many plans and things to do for this weekend. First of, I am having a fitness assessment tomorrow. This is the first session from the 5 free trainer sessions that I am getting with my new gym membership. Secondly, I would really like to see a movie this weekend -- may be one of the following: Mamma Mia, Brideshead Revisited, and Dark Knight. Thirdly, maybe I can go hiking this Sunday -- haven't done that for 3 weeks now. Then there are the must-do chores: Costco (don't love it...don't want to go...but we are out of paper products! and Target (to return some stuff that didn't work).
This week has probably been longer and harder because I just came back from a vacation in Cabo San Lucas. My Cabo vacation was very nice and relaxing. The water was warm -- just not swimmable but great for strolling. It was all-inclusive resort, which is really bad because it was just too much food everywhere. I was worried that I would put on lots of weight while in Cabo and undermine my South Beach diet efforts (I am on this diet due to my recent high cholesterol problems). The good news is that I did not put on any weight -- probably partly because I didn't drink all of the cocktails and consumed all the tortillas that I could have had. On my Cabo trip, I "attempted" to read and translated Spanish signs and spoke a couple words in Spanish. Unfortunately, most of the time, I got Spanish confused with French (since I had 3 years of this) and so I was probably speaking French to the folks in Cabo. That was great fun for them, I am sure :-)
Speaking of vacation, I am trying to plan my Christmas vacation right now. I would love to go to Sydney Australia because I have never been there and it's on my list of places to visit. However, Sydney is out of the budget this year. I am trying to take advantage of our "free" flight tickets with United frequent flyer program. So most likely, I will end up going to Hawaii, South America, or the Caribbean. Now, South America would be fun for Christmas! I would love to go to Rio Brazil but I will have to see if it's a feasible trip for our budget. So I will need to do some research on Brazil, Argentina, Chile, and Peru on frommers.com and check out the lodging prices. If you have a recommendation for any of these South American countries, please share!
Have a great weekend, everyone...especially if you are having fun visiting a new city in Europe!

LOL - so you also speak "Spench" - that is too funny. Now I can say that I speak "Spencherman." Greetings from Helsinki, where I have had a really great weekend! The weather has been perfect, and it's so amazing how the sun doesn't go down until really late (this time of year, it doesn't get dark until after 11PM.) A trip to South America sounds great! My nephew went to Macchu Pichu (Peru) in June and LOVED it. So now that is a place that I'd like to go. Also, have you ever thought of Costa Rica? I hear that's nice, too. OK, gotta go get some breakfast and then enjoy my last few hours in Helsinki. See you later! :-)
