Work + Dive trip to Miami

So the newest journey/adventure + business trip was to Miami, FL. I was a bit excited for thi trip for:
1. first major adventure in the world of UX
2. fairly major business trip
3. I GET TO DIVE!!!

yes, i took it upon myself to dive on this trip. The dive shop was right across from my hotel, hotel clinton in south beach... I'll talk about south beach later.

So signed up for two dives on friday: reef dive, and then neptune memorial reef.
This was my first time really out without a guide, so it was a bit intimidating. I had a dive partner but was actually more experienced, but not quite so seasoned in the water. So, i felt like i had to take the lead. So, on the first dive Isaw a lot of fish that looked like candy corn (i really need to pull pictures). The fish and coral were less vibrant than thailand or hawaii, but large fan like coral which were beautiful. Some black and white angel fish.

Vegas: surprises need to be cherished

Went to Vegas for the CES show. Vegas is such a great experience. No only because it's Sin City. BUT you can always be surprised on what comes up when you turn the corner. We went to Body English to go dancing with our Sony Client... and guess who was spinning... Godskitchen. I can't recall if i've ever been that surprised in awhile. It was quite sad to realize nothing is too surprising anymore. I miss those times as a child when you would be in awe of that amazing Christmas gift that you never thought you were going to get. OR when that little "i like you" valentine's day card comes your way. Ahh... the small things of surprises should always be cherished
