Parasailing in Cabo San Lucas

This weekend, I started off 2011 by going on vacation. My friend, Siobhan, wanted to celebrate her 30th Birthday in the warm, tropical Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. I have never vacationed in “off months”, but I think it is a trend that I will continue. The weather was high 70‘s during the day. While on vacation, I decided to check off another item from my Bucket List; parasailing.

The experience was so awesome that words do it no justice. I think I was a bird in my former life. I don’t consider myself adventurous, in the least, but being in the air gives me a natural high. I parasailed across the beaches in Cabo and even though the moment was 10-12 minutes in the air, it was one that I will forever cherish and remember for a lifetime.

Hopefully, I can encourage you to try parasailing. I promise you won’t regret it.

My 10 Year Class Reunion

I can hardly believe it!! It is time for my 10 year class reunion. Reuniting with my old classmates was such a blast! Our class president, Brooke, did an outstanding job of organizing the event. I tried to do as much as I could being 300 miles away but at times I still didn't feel very productive. Nonetheless, we had a decent

number of participants. Initially, I was worried about my "single" status. I felt as if I would be questioned to no end about the fact that I wasn't married and didn't have any kids. It just seemed as if I was way behind the curve. As time went on, I cared less about myself and more about reconnecting with those I hadn't seen or heard from since 1998.

To my surprise, a vast majority of my classmates that were married didn't bring their significant other. They wanted to have a good time and not have to worry about entertaining. As a single woman, I definitely understand that logic. I always have to weigh whether to bring a date to a wedding or a house party, because I like to be in the "mix" of things and don't want to have to stress over my date having a great time with my friends.

Overall, I had a GREAT time!! To see more pictures, visit our class website Berkeley High School Class of 1998
