Yeah, Yeah, So It's Been Two Months

Here are the headlines of the last two months:

• Working in Alaska was a great success. It was amazing seeing such untouched beautiful places and meeting adventurous people.
• I did come home 3 weeks early due to getting an unexpected 9 day break before my final tour. Fortunately, my boss agreed to letting me come home early without consequence.
• My early departure gave me the opportunity to work for the company the put on the huge Oracle convention in SF. The money more then made up for the fact that I stood around on 3rd St. monitoring our loading lanes.
• I am back working at Napa Valley Bike Tours for the fall. It was tough getting back on the bike after not riding for 4 months, but I am almost back to par. Right now the schedule is looking a little thin for October, I am crossing my fingers that people still like wine and riding bikes.
• I will also have the chance to work for a friend that is opening a new adventure tour company in Napa.
  
• In mid October I head back to DC to train for leading a tour for middle schoolers during the Inauguration. I am very excited for this opportunity, though I know it will be one of the craziest experiences I have yet to participate in.
• Everyday I look forward to my 6 week trip to Europe to visit the wonderful W's. I will be spending all of December and half of January in Zurich, experiencing a white Christmas and a real winter.
• Last but not least I will spend much of February with my sister and family helping out before and after the birth of baby #3. I will have plenty of time to spoil the girls and get a jump start getting to know the new member of the family.

I do plan on updating more often now that things have slowed down a bit, including backtracking to talk about my experiences in Alaska.

Thanks for reading.
