Puerto Rico Pics

These are the views from our room which ended up being a Cabana room. It was pretty sweet b/c my Mom and I went down a few days early- she booked the room through Travelocity so we ended up getting an upgrade. Then, when the conference rate kicked in, they let us stay in the upgraded room for the same price! It was soooo nice!

My Mom and I ran into another woman who works where I work... we went do dinner the second two nights with her and her friends. In the pic above we were enjoying some free shots they gave us at the restaurant after we had enjoyed a free pitcher of Mojitos! I love the pic of me and my mom :) We are standing in front of some fountain in Old San Jaun.

Here are just a few random beach pics. The beach was great... you know, other than the whole knee incident... See how big the waves are?!?

Anyway, thats about it. I may load some more pics later, but for now, I need to get to work!

Well Helloooooo

Well, is been awhile since I wrote... and much has happend. When I last wrote I was en route to Puerto Rico... which was AWESOME! I will post some pics in a separate post and probably a review of the hotel we stayed in to chronicle this trip. PR is a great place to go... its in the south carribbean, so very warm and tropical. What is nice about it is that you get a different cultural feel without having to go through customs, change currency, etc. It was great.

The only bad thing about the trip was that I chose to ignore this sign (notice the human being on his ass being swalled by a wave!)


Which ultimately resulted in me getting swallowed by a wave... losing my favorite sunglasses and then in the process of dragging myself out of the water to avoid drowning, I did something to my right knee.

After an x-ray and then an MRI the other day I have learned that my injury is most likey a torn meniscus. I have an appointment this morning with a knee guy to find out my diagnosis. Hopefully it doesn't require surgery. That is not my idea of a good time. I will post more later when I have news.

Anyway, on Tuesday I took, and PASSED part 2 of the CMA exam! WOO HOO! YAY! Now only two parts left. Passing felt really good because I truely spent so much time studying. It was rough! I need to take some time and evaluate whether or not I actually have time for them in 2009 due to the wedding and our honeymoon. I really don't want to be studying in Maui like I was in Puerto Rico. YES, I studied in Puerto Rico. I even have proof:


Other than that... not much is new. I'm going to try and blog more often. I wonder if anybody is actually reading this crap!?!

3:30

Good Lord.

It is just not right to try and get up this early.

The weather in PR better be good to make up for this!

I will try to blog and post pics while I am there.

Have a great weekend everybody!

Puerto Rico, Baby

So, we have these semi-annual meetings for work where all of the Tax people in the company get together and discuss tax stuff. PLEASE try to contain your jealousy people. Not everybody can be as cool as us tax geeks.

Anyway, tradition is that the spring meeting take place at our Corporate headquarters. The fall meeting however, is typically held at a warm weather location. This year we are headed to Puerto Rico!

The best part is that my Mom is coming with. We are leaving a few days early and making a little mini vacay out of it :) Really looking forward to it because 1- PR looks pretty cool, 2-The weather here is starting to suck, and it will be nice to see some sun, and 3- it will be nice to have a change of scenery for a few days.

More to come...
