The Kuleto stays in San Fran

Sadly Christina and my fun little vacation had to draw to a close on Wednesday. (But on the brighter side, I get to check something off this list)!

Christina had a much earlier flight than I did, so I woke up with her around 8am, walked her downstairs and waited with her for the shuttle to arrive to take her to the airport. After we said our good-byes, I ordered a latte from our hotel restaurant and walked around a little  bit near our hotel before I headed back upstairs to the hotel room to pack myself. [Read more…]

Monday in Wine Country and then San Fran

Christina and I allowed ourselves to sleep in a little bit Monday morning (we woke up around 8am and were crawling out of bed, getting ready for the day by 9am). Since I hadn’t slept great the night before the race, I was really hoping to get a good night’s sleep – and I did! [Read more…]

Sunday in Wine Country

After we took in a little of the post-race festivities (drank a couple glasses of complimentary wine from various vineyards at the finish line and posed for some more pictures), we headed back to our hotel room. We still had a full day ahead of us after all! [Read more…]

A Little Delay Won’t Ruin my Vacay!

My flight out of D.C. ended up being delayed for 3.5 hours on Saturday. After having us wait in the airplane for over an hour without air conditioning the captain announced there was a technical difficulty with the engine that required a spare part being brought in from Dulles International Airport (we were flying out of Ronald Reagan Airport). The transportation time and repair time was estimated to be about 2 hours. [Read more…]

Packing Essentials for Napa & Sonoma & SF Trip

Hope everyone had a wonderful Friday and an even better weekend!

Tomorrow I’m leaving on a jet plane to San Francisco, making my way to Napa and Sonoma. I will be meeting my friend Christina who is flying from Dallas. Once we meet up, get our rental car, and grab a bite to eat we’ll hit the road for wine country! I haven’t quite decided how I will be blogging on this trip. While I like to post daily during the week, I do not know if my accommodations and plans will allow for daily posts. We’ll have to see, and if I cannot blog daily, regularly scheduled posts will occur again beginning on Thursday. 🙂

Napa to Sonoma Half Marathon Playlist

Today was my LAST day of training for the Napa to Sonoma Half Marathon!!! Woohoo! I know I said it the last time for my first half marathon, but man it’s crazy that the race is so close now (2 days!) Time definitely flies. I’m feeling similar to how I felt before the Rock ‘N’ Roll half, anxious and excited to finally run it, but also a little nervous – I hope my body can handle it and that I don’t injure anything in the process.

Tuesday Tidbits – 38

1) It was “start to make my half marathon playlist” time last night! I downloaded some (brand) new and older songs from iTunes (big thanks to Tommy letting me use his iTune gift card he got for his birthday). I also spent some time looking through my own iTunes music library and pulled out several oldies but goodies to add to the playlist. I’m still working on the final playlist so stayed tuned! If you have any song suggestions, please let me know! [Read more…]
