Jaime and Lei swim with dolphins

In Cancun, Jaime and I went to swim with dolphins. A 45 minute up close adventure. It was AMAZING! We got to play with 2 dolphins - 1 male and female. They give us kiss, splashed us, pushed us to fly on water. We got to pet them, hug them, and make them sing. It was really an unforgettable experience, so of course we bought the DVD. This only covers some of what we did. I would highly recommend it.

Cancun Club Med was a blast

Top 13 moments

1. Swimming with Dolphins - bought a DVD - will upload it!
2. Learned how to Waterski - two skies - I did it four times and last time tried one hand for a bit. It was awesome. Thanks to Pablo who taught me. He is almost 50 and the oldest GO there, very nice
3. SUN, SUN, and more SUN - sky was so blue and the water was blue green / beautiful village with huts every where - I am probably the most tan than I have ever been
4. Very friendly GOs (Gentle organizers - all in their 20s and fun - they all work there to make you feel at home and have friends) - Emilia (cutest smile and sweetest girl), Gerline (wow, I want her body - perfect) , Terry (best michael jackson impersonator and just so FUNNY), Diego (Energizer bunny), Sergio (perfect beginning to every meal), Oscar (very huggable), Pepe (loves to dance), Alex (smiley eyes and a good DJ) Chiwawa (so flirtatious), Delia (she dance in boots in 90 degree weather), and so many more etc..
5. Amazing Jamaican Trapeze instructors - Mad Max and Herdlyn - they have muscles in places that we didn't think existed :-). Definite eye candies. Great teacher too - nice and encouraging. Yeah Man!
6. "Visual dessert" circus show on Thurs night - every one was reaped and did some amazing feats
7. Wonderful buffets - I gained two pounds - my favorite was the fresh salad station at lunch - everything made to order
8. Learned how to Sail - Kyle, the only GO from America was so good at teaching us. He is from Houston but looks like a California surfer boy
9. The West family - Morris (wow the things that come out of his mouth is both funny and shocking - loved it) , Jeanette (ObGYN surgeon and mother of 3, also performed on Thursday circus show after only 2 days of rehearsal. She is my idol), River, Ember, Jordan are their sons. They loved Jaime and climbed all over him
10. Meeting other GMs (Gentle Members - that's what club med calls guests).
    - Yasser and Jaime was talking Judo and ultimate fighting and DJ. Yasser and his wife brought their six month old son - Adam. Adam and I got along great. At one point he just nestled against my chest and started licking my boobs - guess he was hungry. so adorable!
    - John and Dorit - John knows the lead singer to Lincoln park. He was a super trooper and tried water skiing 4 days in a row - falling every day except the very last one. Wow.
    - Susan is 66 and was dancing up a storm and tried waterskiing for the firsttime. She got it and went for 3 rounds. I hope I will still be that adventurous when I am in my 60s.
    - Erica is from Redwood city and we all hang out the last night. Erica promises to visit us in SF
11. First time on water slides - I literally feel myself floating off some of the slides. One slide was called the space bowl. It whips you into a big bowl at 30 mph - one is open to the sky, the other is dark and super trippy. AWESOME!
12. Waking up to perfect weather EVERY DAY! I miss it so much!
13. and of course - many magical moments with Hubby. He looks more handsome every day. :-) He also tried water skiing and trapeze. he looked great on the Trapeze like a pro except for the landing - haha!
    
    

Indoor Sky Diving - ifly

A bunch of us (Ajantha, Juanpablo, Rony, Michelle, Edwin, Agnes, and I) went to do Indoor sky diving in late June. I had 50% off coupons and we got the DVD. Here is my two jumps. It's not as scary as it sounds - no free fall feeling but fun still. Check it out. They say anyone 3 years old or above can try it. Maybe we will take Isabel next year. :-)

All the benefits of being a Petite woman

There are so many benefit of being petite.

1. Economy airplane seat doesn't seem too small - actually nice and cozy
2. More choices of men who are taller (when I was single)
3. But the most important benefit is once my shirts gets too small, they can immediately be worn as a big t-shirt by my daughter - Isabel. See the shirt Isabel is wearing. Does it look familiar?

Dawn's visit 2010

One of my best friends from B-school visited me this weekend and we had a blast in Napa and SF. We have known each other for 10 years. We went to Napa for 2 days and discovered a great winery (best of six we visited) - Rombauer - We even took photos with the owner Mr. Rombauer (the big white man in the photos). We went to Buschon for dinner - It was okay. We had Chinese food - yummy! We had deep talks about life, family, kids, love, friendship - that was the best part + we got some serious dancing in at Bubble lounge.

Isabel Dances at Stern Grove Park

every summer Stern Grove has free summer concerts. We were really lucky that we got good seats to this one. First come first serve. Isabel had a blast.

Isabel singing and dancing with Chinese Tiger

Isabel loves her Chinese DVD. Now she can actually sing along.

Puzzle maker

Isabel has a real talent for putting together puzzles. Even I am amazed at how fast she is learning. this is a 24 piece puzzle of Winnie the Pooh. She can put together the whole thing by herself. I just caught the second half on video.
