ISHI - Japanese for DETERMINATION. Some would say I am stubborn - others opinionated - but in reality it is determined. I believe it is determination that got me through the challenges I have faced and allowed me to start this new and wonderful life. I will stay determined and we will have as much fun as we can along the way. Read along for the wonderful adventure.

It takes a while sometimes ....
So it used to be, many years ago, that when I took a roll of film out of my camera it got processed. Well times have changed. Partially because with cell phones now I also have the digital versions with me. I know some will say "You still use film?" Yes I do - and I enjoy it. The other issue is finding a place to get it processed. Well I finally found the latter and we now present some additional photos from our trip to Newfoundland in July ... 2011

Laura's First Trip to Newfoundland
Well we are back from our first trip together to Newfoundland. I think it is safe to say we had a great time. It was not without adventure, I left one of my credit cards at the airport in Baltimore and we had other small things, but we made it home safe and sound with no major issues.
We did have a great time. The weather was great for this trip. It was far from the heat we were having here in Northern Virginia and we only had a couple of mornings with light rain, only one we actually were out in and it did not last long. As I mentioned before you do notice when the fog rolls in but we only had a couple of days when it came in quickly and left just as quickly.
We did get to do a lot, between seeing Mom, Dad and my sister Michelle and visiting many sites such as Signal Hill, Cape Spear (the easternmost point in North America) and some of the small areas outside St. John's like Brigus.
We ate some good food and even got to see one of the most popular shows in the province (and for Newfoundlanders outside the province), Republic of Doyle, getting film on a couple of different days. Laura said it reminded her of an Australian TV she saw when she was there called Water Rats.
We did get to take quite a few photos - some are posted here and we will post others later.
I know we will be back to Newfoundland - Laura even suggested that Brigus was so pretty that maybe we needed to retire there - who knows.
