Alumapalooza 2011: The benefits of arriving a day early at a rally is to see the evolving and birthing of the event. However, Alumapalooza isn’t just any Airstream gathering. I can personally attest to this statement with this being our 2nd year of attendance here in Jackson Center. There is a magic behind the flurry…
Relaxing …. breathing …. settling in …. Airstreaming …. Alumapaloozing I love this poem posted by Tom Nugler in the Airstream AirForums. It pretty much sums up the whole experience here in Jackson Center: Long driving, Heat scorching, Friends meeting, Sun burning, Nights cooling, Seminar taking, Winds blowing, Fire breathing, Goodie buying, Factory touring, Cake cooking,…
Both slaDE~ and I were excited about waking at the crack of dawn to watch the sun crest the ocean horizon. Unfortunately, what has become a common occurrence here on holiday, I awoke at 3am fully alert, twiddling my thumbs, random mundane thoughts rampant in my brain, tumbling like a dryer full of static electricity….
Capturing the beautiful early morning light of sunrise, slaDE~ and I took some fun photos recreating yoga poses where the railing was used as a prop / ‘partner’. I used creative influence with some of the stretches suggested by Kirsten in yesterday’s yoga class (Ak’Bol Yoga Retreat, Belize), fully envisioning a future partner yoga / yogaFLIGHT class…
Early morning sunrise was so beautiful and worth waking for at 5:30am. The ocean sat quietly still with hardly a breeze to blow away the clouds embracing the sunrise. The mosquitoes were out in full force with only the light Caribbean breeze hugging our skin. A test of patience to sit in peace and quiet…
slaDE and I joined our friends David and Kelly from KittyHawk North Carolina for breakfast, after we packed up our belongings. Today was our departure day from Pedro’s Inn after a lovely 2.5 week stay. We feel very blessed that we were gifted with such inexpensive accommodation (the equivalent of our months rent in Calgary)…
Belize is ‘unBelizeable’. It’s so beautiful and full of brilliant seaside character. A perfect tropical island getaway, and that’s before getting in to the air and skydiving. I did 3 jumps today from the Pac (supplied by Ray Farrel) and had the most heavenly experience and views. I was transfixed by the beauty of the…
Our last full day with visiting our friends Patrick and Ann Egan here in Sarasota. And the adventures continue! Morning yoga enlivened our waking bodies before attending to a piece of citrus heaven. We made a trek out to Mike’s homestead (Patrick’s brother) … 10 acres of burgeoning citrus trees waiting to be plucked of their…
2011 = Part 2 of our 2nd full year of Airstreaming a.go-go, where every day is a new beginning in our silver tube. No matter where we are on this planet, I seem to be able to find a reason to smile and marvel at each new day that blesses us with its presence. We…
Since leaving Canada, our momentum has kept us pretty busy as we’ve winded our way south away from the snow. Yet the Arctic Blast has followed us and the need to continually empty our water lines each evening, avoiding burst pipes, has been a constant reality. slaDE~s been really diligent about making sure that this is done….
