Skiing in the Rockies

The last ski of the season (March 2005).

Family Visit-In CO

My Aunt Linda and her two kids Sara and Ryan came out one weekend to visit me in Colorado. Troy and I took them up to Estes Park and up one of the paths. They did pretty good for low-landers! (summer 2005)
Also we took a mild hike the first day up in the Poudre Valley with Belle and Sandy.

CO friends.

Some of my friends from CO (2004)

Maui

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh Maui. We went Nov 2004. It was love love love!

Camping

Sandy was about 4 months old here. It was his first camping trip. We hiked up the mountains and then camped. He had TONS of energy and had a fun time. And he slept the second we set up camp till the next morning! And one of my favorite pictures of Troy.

My first Broncos Game!

My first ever Broncos game! Chargers vs Broncos Fall 2003....(troy and I broke up for a couple months--this is Ken the firefighter...nice first date huh!?) And YES the BRONCOS WON!!! They have won every game I have ever attended.
Is it just me or do I look like 16 in this picture!

The man, the legend....

Not the greatest picture, but yep that's me (aug 2003) standing next to My Man...Mr. Hugh Hefner's famous round bed while at the Palms Casino in Las Vegas. This is one of my most prized pictures! Not digital it was still my film camera.

Ko Lan (coral island)

Went to the closest local island near Pattaya today via private speed boat. Its called Ko Lan (Ko= island, Lan=coral). The water was to crazy to do any snorkeling but it made for a nice day at the beach. (friend had their camera with so you get double today's pictures)

Hollywood

(summer 2003)
Anyone recognize this? We did an Warner Brothers tour while in LA and this is the set from ER--its the outside ambulance bay!

San Fransisco (oldie)

7/10/02 First trip to San Fransisco

oldies but goodies.

With my camera out of commission I am going to post old pictures until the new camera is being used!
Feb 2, 2002.
Troy lost a bet and had to shave his head! He wants to do it again but I say no way!

Camera Issues.

My camera is gone. i am with out camera. Yes it was my new one and i lost it while on some steps, just left it there. We plan on getting a new one while in Malaysia or Singapore in the next month...I will make up the daily pictures (they will be great!). So sorry there is going to be a break for awhile.

Group shot again.

One of the big boss men came out for a site visit. Which usually gets everyone to come out--free meal!

Pond

Great place to sit and read a book. The hotel pond....

Presentation

Its all about the presentation. So here is fish on a decorating pile of mashed potatoes in the shape of a fish.

Wildcats

A local bar we hang out at that you can play pool for-$.35 and drinks are $1.50!

this is Seth and dan---they kicked ass at pool!
Salley and Troy.
Jeremy-and this was the losing shot as he scratched on the 8 ball.

Harley Davidson

A bar connected to our hotel had a biker party tonight...we didn't go but I thought it was funny since SD's Stugis Harley Davidson rally started this weekend I still got to see some bikes!

A new pool view.

This one is the pool at night. They light up the area with torches!

Try Try again.

Well after getting tons of grief for not bungee jumping last week....Boris decided to try it again. Well nothing changed! He paid to go up two more times, and two more times he didn't jump! But Olga and salley did! So here is another picture of Boris just paying for a good view! Wonder if SOMEDAY he will do it?

Group shot

This was from our River Kwai trip of all of us who went.....i was having a boring day so nothing new for pictures LOL.

Typical food

Some typical Thai Food....yummy!

Ick

Still sick. So here is another old picture:
Random Thai lady, and yes I did have her cook me up some dumplings. Doesn't everyone eat food from random people in boats?

Thanks Troy

Well I spoke to soon. I seem to have a stomach issue like troy now. I didn't leave the hotel room today so again we are going with an old picture....
Random cute little Thai boy.

Poor Troy

He was sick today munching on saltines in the morning.

China Olympics

For the first time ever I watched the opening ceremony for the Olympics---we got to watch live. I thought it was ok but overall very boring. I have learned people say its the best one yet---guess I am just sick of China stuff. LOL Here is the tv we watched the ceremony on. Good to know they did finish up all the stuff since we were there in May.
So we made up a drinking game to go with the ceremony---this game can only be played by globetrotting UOP employees-----we all drank every time they announced a country that someone at the table had been to....for the 17 of us at the table we hit over 50 countries! Not bad!

A first

Well I didn't do anything interesting today-and have nothing for a pictures. So today I am going to show you an old picture. This was from our weekend trip to the river Kwai.....everyone thought this picture was funny so I thought I should post it here also.....Boris and some unnamed hot girl. :)

DOC

Well you saw troy's work uniform...thats what I thought everyone got. Well apparently this guy (Boris) they decided need more FLARE! So here he is in his orange jumpsuit---looks like a DOC uniform to me! (department of corrections--aka jail)

Moved

Well they decided to do some construction above our room so we had to move....same room just different side of the building. So here is our new view from the front door.

Bungee Jumping

Olga, Salley and Boris all decided they were going bungee jumping today. I got to tag along to take pictures!
First up Salley-note her eyes are closed and she fell more then jumped.Second up-Olga, closer to a jump but because she was pushed.
Boris the lone man-I took this picture before he went up because I had a feeling he would back out.
And this as close as he got! Note the white knuckle grip! Well he paid full price for a nice view. When he got back down a little Thai girl went-and she did great, we gave Boris some crap and he decided to go AGAIN! Well he got back up there---and NOTHING, didn't do it. But he paid full price-TWICE.

Beach across the street.

This is the beach I visit the most-its right across the street for our hotel. Its not the greatest, but its a beach! The Hawkers (people who try to sell you everything!) can get annoying at times. But you can rent a chair with umbrella for about 40 Baht ($1) for the day.

Songthaew, also known as a Baht Bus

This is our main form of transportation while in the city. A Songtaews or bahat bus (the thailand money is Baht) can be hired very easily-there about a hundred outside of my hotel. Its a truck that has to benches in the back bed, you jump on and they take you to where you need to go...for pennies!!!!
You can sure pile in people!

Speedo man!

Well one of our friends lent another friend his swimsuit....so he had his first day out in just the speedo! Being the great friend I am ....took pictures!
