The winter season has come to an end in Aspen. Time for a little trip to California before heading to North Carolina. First stop is Newport Beach to visit my dear friend Kelly.

New Year’s Resolution

One of my New Year’s Resolutions is to hike Highlands Bowl once a week. For those of you are not familiar with the bowl, it is at the top of Highlands mountain. You take the chairlift all the way up Highlands. Then you strap your skies on your back for a 40 minute hike up to 12, 392 vertical feet.

Praise

Hi Maleka,

Thank you so much for understanding our sense of urgency. You’ve been fantastic through all 30ish emails I’ve sent you in the last 4 days. Your great work has not been overlooked.

Thanks!

Day 5 – Necker Island

Everyone was a bit worn out by all the previous days activities and the LATE night Pirate Party.

Chandra and I sailed over to Mosquito Island for breakfast, someone sails with us, otherwise we would most likely still be sailing. We did some great snorkeling over there.

Day 4 – Necker Island

We started the morning with an outdoor yoga class which we all ended up in the pool! Then I had had a tennis marathon lesson followed by kayaking and a  little snorkeling before lunch. Then a little more tennis followed by Richard Branson themed Pirate night.
