Welcome!

Welcome to Life with Tia. Don't know how well I'll do posting but figured I'd give it a shot. What I post may only be of interest to me, but if there are people who want to know what's up with me or how my brain works, or simply have nothing better to do, then read on. Please post comments. I need the encouragement and the opposing point of view (not that there will be any). Thanks for reading & posting. Hugs, Tia

Where does time go...

Has it really been almost a month since I last blogged??? Man!!! That's awful. Sorry. Things have been nuts. Let's catch up.

I've been to Washington DC and Seattle since I last wrote. Didn't get to see much of DC was only there for a day and 1/2 but I still get a thrill riding into town from Reagan National Airport and looking out the taxi window and seeing the Washington Monument. Or the Jefferson Memorial. I'm such a sap. I get all goose-bumply.

Went to Seattle for a weekend on a site inspection. Site inspections are fun. You go to a port city and meet the client who's trying to decide whether or not to trust your recommendation and book their group on the particular ship you're going to see. Most times you've never met the client and sometimes you've never been on that ship before. This time I was lucky. I'd toured the Pearl once. But fortunately the cruise line was awesome and had the Hotel Director (a very important dude) ready to take us on a tour of the ship. We had lunch in the steakhouse. YUMMY! The client loved the ship. Loved us and looks like they're going to trust us after all.

The best part of this trip was going #1 going to Seattle and #2 touring the ship I'm going to sail on in a couple of weeks. Yes folks I'm actually going on a trip for longer than a day. I'm going on an Alaska cruise. I can't wait. It's something I've always wanted to do. So it's like a dream come true. I'll write all about it.

If you've never been to Seattle, you must add it to the list of cities to visit. It has a certain vibe that's so much fun. There's a Starbuck on every corner (literally). It's the birth place of Noordstrom's department store. And Pike Street Market is a must see. You'll see the most beautiful flowers and the biggest fish for sale.

Looks like I'm trying to make up for my lack of blogging all in one post. I'll sign off now and add more, soon.

Where are places you've been that I should add to my must see list???

At some point, you definitely need to see Catalina Island, CA. (Well, you know I am biased about CA anyway but this place is my favorite.) It's very relaxing and it has breath-taking views. I absolutely LOVE IT!
