Not so, in fact I do have my GoodReads account pinned to the side panel if you are interested in what I'm reading at any given time (when I remember to update it hehe). 2015 had me reaching … Continue reading The Codex Alera Book Review
Two Off The Japan Bucket List

Turn Of The Year Mayhem
After returning from Hong Kong we immediately started preparing for my step-daughter to visit and join us in bringing in 2016. We headed to Tokyo on New Year's Eve day, as is our tradition while in Japan, and had a reservation at our favorite little boutique hotel (Sakura Fleur Aoyama)in Shibuya. The decor is cute, … Continue reading Turn Of The Year Mayhem
Hong Kong Holiday
Our final big, outside Japan trip for the time we have left in this beautiful country we decided on Hong Kong for Christmas week.

Awesome Noise
Noise...I've experienced different kinds of noise to wrap up my 2015. From OzzFest (Head-banging, thrash metal concert festival) to Hong Kong at Christmas, and Tokyo for New Years Eve - the noise was real. One was literally a lot of sound and cranked up high and the other was more pushy salesmen and noisy touristy … Continue reading Awesome Noise

Iwakuni, Miyajima Island and Hiroshima
Our latest adventures took us to Iwakuni, Miyajima Island and Hiroshima. This was a scheduled tour through the base and included a very long bus ride there and back. We left around 10:00 pm and arrived around 8:00 am, yep all night drive. No, we didn't get much sleep but we pushed through and really enjoyed … Continue reading Iwakuni, Miyajima Island and Hiroshima
Diana’s Fit Club Diary – Part 2 Entry 3 – Update & Goals
Went to the doctor this week and got my lab results: A1C came in at 6.2 - this is slightly higher than my previous test which was 6.1 but not as high as I thought it might be. I haven't been watching my sugar/carb intake as well as I should have but I have been … Continue reading Diana’s Fit Club Diary – Part 2 Entry 3 – Update & Goals
