Back from knitting class, where I graduated from the beginner class and signed up for a new class and new project. Also finished my first beginner project and got some help on my second beginner project.

Good for you!

Oy, did I have a weird dream, one that would crash JR's machine. It's way too convoluted to go into detail over, but suffice it to say a major part entailed Betsy morphing into Debra Messing (no, I'm not kidding), and then me telling Debra I was leaving her. That was just the beginning.

My mother has been popping up in a lot of my dreams over the last couple of weeks. I imagine it is because she was killed in January.

Doesn't this happen to you every year?

I have had the song "Somewhere In Dreamland" stuck in my head all day today. I would blame Max Fleischer for that, but since he is no longer with us, I will have to blame Jose.

I don't know. It may. Maybe I am just more aware of it this year.

Jane, when you and Keith went to Alaska, did you go to Denali?

We did on the first trip with Bryan & Craig. I wish I could return.

On our arrival I booked a mid-day helicopter ride & a late afternoon/early evening raft trip. It is amazing how much you can do in half a day when the sun never sets. In spite of being very air sick the helicopter ride was amazing & we had, by far, the best rafting trip we ever went on.

Our helicopter pilot made an unscheduled stop on a glacier in the middle of nowhere.

I am glad that our pilot did not make an unscheduled stop. I doubt I would have gotten back in the copter.

LOL DRTCB. It was great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Plus it gave me a break, and some relief, from the motion sickness. You would have to have gotten back in if you wanted to return to civilization. Not only weren't we supposed to have landed, we should have headed towards Mt. Everest, not away from it. Our pilot wanted to follow the sun.

I hope you don't mean Mt. Everest, or your pilot was really lost.

It was a beautiful helicopter ride, but I would not want to ever do it again.

Jane · « **Reply #109 on:** January 31, 2012, 06:04:45 PM »

Were you sick or scared? I was holding a bag in front of my face, not fun, but worth it because of the unexpected landing.

I'm trying to remember where I left off on my recent trip. Just got it, a couple from the beginning of our tour on Bora Bora.

Everyone on the tour seemed excited when we stopped to watch large crabs disappear into big holes dragging flowers, sticks, etc. down behind them.

Jane · « **Reply #112 on:** January 31, 2012, 06:28:25 PM »

The bus stopped at Bloody Mary's a well know tourist spot. Though the restaurant was closed for renovations it was open for us to walk around. Outside are signs with all the famous people who have stopped there. Inside is the good luck board where visitors have left money with messages on it. Many were from honeymooners.

It was a good stop on a rainy day.

Day two on Bora Bora we took the tender to the private beach. It was a small beach & there was just a little bar with a few snacks, which was plenty. I also took a couple of, incredibly delicious, bran muffins from the breakfast buffet. It was also the first day the sun was really shinning.

Jane · « **Reply #114 on:** January 31, 2012, 06:37:00 PM »

We went snorkeling & saw a sting ray

. After the sting ray left Keith went out to relax on the beach. I stayed in for about another half hour before joining him. We had a snack & went for a walk.

Sick, but I was with a bunch of travel agents who I had barely met. I was determined I wouldn't throw up in front of these stangers (who I was going to be spending four days with). When we got back from the ride, it turned out that everyone felt as sick as I did, but no one was willing to be the first one to throw up.

Jane · « **Reply #116 on:** January 31, 2012, 06:42:24 PM »

Keith then relaxed on the beach while I went back into the water intending to snorkel again. We both forgot to reapply sunscreen, plus we had forgotten a few areas. I still kick myself as I had two tubes right there on the towels.

The water at the beaches is shallow for a very long time. As I was taking my long beautiful walk out to swim (no hat or sunglasses) I stopped to say hello to a family we became very friendly with. The man & I ended up talking for close to an hour. That is when I became severely sunburned as did the gentleman I was talking to. While we were burning from the reflection of the water, Keith was burning on the beach.

The only good thing is while I talked I was just far enough out that I could tread water & exercise my arms & shoulders which made them feel great.

Female sting rays are so cool. When I swam with them in Grand Cayman, it was one of my all-time greatest experiences
