Aquarium of the Bay vs California Academy of Sciences
In the final installment of my San Francisco trip tales I'm going to compare and contrast The Aquarium of the Bay with the California academy of Sciences. Both of these attractions are part of the CityPASS, so let's consider the admission and travel costs as even. Which is better value? Of the two, which has more to see? And ultimately if you could only visit one which would I recommend? Aquarium of the bay Located at the infamous Pier 39 The Aquarium of the Bay is one of San Francisco's …

Exploring San Francisco alone
My word for 2018 is explore. Never have I embraced a word as much as I have this year. When Bob initially told me he was attending a conference in San Francisco my initial reaction was "ok, see ya!". But, something was grating at me. Bob mentioned I could tag along. Should I? He'd be at lectures and workshops all day, so I'd be on my own with a big city to explore! Hello word! So I purchased a plane ticket, and spent a week exploring San Francisco alone. Exploring San Francisco Alone While Bob …
Eating Vegan in San Francisco
In March Bob went to a conference in San Francisco, and while he had the trip booked a while in February I decided to bite the bullet and go with him. It's been 20 years since I went and I figured it was a good opportunity to take some R & R. We stayed at the beautiful Adagio Hotel, a Marriott Autograph Collection Hotel, which is just two block West of Union Square. Bob would be at the conference during the day, so I busied myself doing all the tourist things exploring the city and …
Vertigo – My life is spinning out of control
Life has been insanely busy since coming back from the Oregon yoga retreat. I've been covering classes for vacation and sickness (tis the season), and also picked up a couple of new clients. Plus I was buy with the RYT300 planning our March yoga retreat in Ojai. My plate was very full!. A few weeks ago I was spending my first free afternoon at home and doing all those things you do when you have a free day: binge watching youtube videos; catching up on emails; household chores. I also did some …
One Guiding Word 2018: Explore
Instead of setting resolutions for the New Year for the last 11 years I've chosen one guiding word to set intentions for the 12 months to come. I first started doing this is in 2007 when I was heavy into crafting and scrapbooking. I first saw the one word concept on Ali Edwards blog and immediately connected with it. My guiding word over the years have included: Focus - 2007 Change - 2008 Adapt - 2009 Balance - 2010 Achieve - 2011 Grow - 2012 Challenge - 2013 Thrive - …
One word – what did I DO in 2017?
At the beginning of each year I choose one word to set my intention for the year ahead. Rather than setting a ton of resolutions or firm goals one word is chosen as a theme to guide me through the year. For 2017 I chose the word "DO". I've mentioned before that sometimes the words don't always work the way you think they will, and this year was definitely one of those years. I had high hopes for 'do'. No more thinking or planning, instead just do! That was the plan, and while that …
Air New Zealand Vegan inflight Meals
Have you ever got a deal that was so good that you just couldn't pass up? That was us last November when we checked out the Cyber Monday deals on flights to the UK. Which is why in August we found ourselves traveling back to the UK, just 18 months after our last visit. I have a plans to post about our trip, including museums, galleries, castles, and tons of British vegan food, but today I figured I'd start with the beginning of the trip the flight. Specifically the Air New Zealand vegan inflight …
