Happy Saturday!
You are going to see multiple posts over the next 24 hours as I play catch up from the week. This week has hands down been the busiest work week I’ve ever had. Notice I didn’t say stressful but busy. I mean enjoying work dinners with colleagues you love spending time with isn’t stressful, it just all adds up! Luckily I kept half way sane this week through healthy food choices for breakfast and lunch along with daily workouts!
I think this helps with my veggie challenge!
Speaking of which, if you haven’t tried Chin-Chin in New York City, I highly recommend that you give it a try the next time you’re craving Chinese.
Delicious sea bass at Chin-Chin!
As you may recall, I was out all last week due to my grandfather’s funeral down in Savannah. Then, I returned on Monday ready for a wonderful, productive week, only to realize that we had two days of training which were on Wednesday and Thursday. That means that I squeezed almost two weeks worth of work into three days at my desk which was amazing. It’s a good thing that I do well under pressure because I knew I had to get it all done so I could enjoy Hawaii.
Oh yes, in case you missed it, I’m leaving tomorrow morning for a week trip to Hawaii with my parents. Don’t worry, mom and dad aren’t picking up the tab for this trip. Instead, they have generously offered to have me stay with them in the beach home they rented for the week since it has multiple bedrooms anyway. In addition, a year of work travel was able to help offset the flight on Delta. It’s a once in a lifetime opportunity to not only enjoy this trip with my parents, neither of whom have been to Hawaii in thirty years, but also spread my Papa’s ashes with them while we’re there.
Yup, this pretty much looks my paradise.
We are spending the week on Maui since this is the island where he was born and raised. So far we have some pretty fun things on the agenda:
- Haleakala Sunrise followed by Kula Lodge for breakfast
- North Shore Zipline adventure followed by lunch at Hana Hou Cafe and dinner at Paia Fish Market
- Pacific Whale Foundation cruise followed by a sunset dinner at Mary’s Fish Camp
- Road to Hana
- Explore the historic sugar plantations
- Dinner at The General Store
- Old Lahaina Luau
- Lots of hikes
- Beach time
