Sambalatte!!!

Hello Coffee Lovers!

Sip! Savor! Socialize!

I drove ALL the way across town yesterday just to try this much talked about place!

May I be honest?  Well, the good first: Upon approaching the lovely shop, I see many, hip, stylish folk enjoying the sun as they sip on their latte... So, I walk in and, Wow! I immediately love it here & wonder, why, oh why, do we not have one in Henderson / Green Valley area?  I mean, we are hip too! At least, I am! :)   The decor, the music, the people, the vibe - All Tops!  However, since I did not have time to stay I decided to get a Fazenda Lagoa to go.  I was all excited to sip the hot, dark liquid and then... the unexpected happened --- I tasted filter, I tasted the filter that they poured the espresso thru... now, I do not wish to be unfair - so, I tried again and again and still the same yucky filter taste... am I alone?  I really wanna love them...

Well, anyone who knows me - knows that I LOVE Coffee! There is no doubt about it!  So, with that being said... I will give them another try and take the time to savor the ambiance and the java...  I look forward to another visit and the ability to maybe socialize and blog my little heart away for any number of hours...

I have the feeling that sneaking away from the humdrum of work will be well worth it! 

Cheers!

Bio Bay & Marriage Counseling...

I wanted to share a little bit of our experience with you while we were visiting Puerto Rico last week… below is just a lil bite of our adventure…

Sooo Glad that we toured the Bio Bay! It is an experience like none other... I was with a group and we took the last night tour - the Owner, Mike was very thorough and informative... it seems like a lot at first, however, you will appreciate it when you are in the lagoon... Puerto Rico (Fajardo area) offers the ONLY lagoon access in the world & let me tell you - I would have it no other way... We joked that this was a team building, marriage workshop event :) ~~~ communication is key! lol ~~ Paddling thru the Mangrove trees to the open bay was sooo, Wow! As you paddle you light up the water & see all the beautiful 'blue' shrimp, fish, and stingrays go by... The luminescence is caused by micro-organisms (dinoflagellates) which glow whenever the water is disturbed, leaving a trail of neon blue.  As a matter fact, some shrimp managed to end up in our kayak - such fun! What a wonderful way to experience God's beauty!

If you are visiting Puerto Rico, please make sure to see Mike @ Enchanted Island Tours - you will not be sorry... professionalism and his service are Tops!

Just wanted to give a thank to you Victor & Jorge who pulled our people all thru the bay - without you guys - whew! it would have been quite difficult! Thank you Dan, for your passion & sharing your knowledge and love of the Bay!

And so our journey goes...

You will not believe the delays & mishaps tht have happened on this plane...

First, they are delayed because of issues in Miami... (Which have what to do w Vegas?)

Second, they are delayed because the power went out in 'our' terminal and the jet way was still attached to the plane, therefore, not allowing us to take off... Ughhhh... Nowhere else in the airport - just us...

Now... An hour later the pilot comes back on and says... 'I need your cooperation, not only did that weird thing of the power going out happen, now we have two passengers that left the plane and we do not know who they are, we will need to go over the flight manifest... What the... Ugh... So, we begin our journey...

Btw, I am restless & posting this from the plane @ 140am... God help us... your constant companion,

Love, Love, Love!!! It's where it's at!
