I made it home safely from Belize late last night. I can't believe how bad it stormed Sunday night! The rain was torrential and the thunder had me jumping out of my skin (and I LOVE thunder & lightening storms!).
I'm in the process of catching up on voice mails and emails, so thanks for your patience!

Hanging with Arthur in Belize
Ah, the joys of being a traveler. Early Sunday morning I headed to Orlando airport to catch a flight to Belize. My flight from Orlando to Miami was delayed, causing me to miss my connection by minutes (Let's not discuss the mad dash through Miami airport trying in vain to make it. To anyone I may have inadvertently plowed over, I apologize!)
Annoying, but not a huge deal though. I get re-booked on a later flight. Finally make it to Belize City, but my luggage, well, let's just say that my luggage must have enjoyed Miami because it chose to stay there (that's the second time my luggage has been delayed/lost/misdirected in the past month, if you're keeping track).
The next portion of my journey was to catch a small flight to San Pedro on Ambergris Caye. Now these planes are fairly small - they seat maybe 10 people? And thanks to the hideous weather courtesy of tropical storm Arthur, flights were "delayed indefinitely". I'm cool with that. Rather fly safe or not at all.
Eventually flights resumed and I made it over to San Pedro. Next hurdle? A 10 minute boat ride in an itty bitty boat. Fortunately they gave me full rain gear or I would have been even more drenched. My luggage ought to be here tomorrow, which is good, because all the camera gear I lug on board leaves no room for a change of clothes in my carry on.
We're seeing thunder, bucketfuls of rain, and wind - all courtesy of Arthur. I spent the early evening watching Fight Club (shoot, I just broke the first rule) and peering anxiously out the window for a break in the weather so I could try and get some shooting in. I was supposed to stay in the island's overwater bungalow, but they won't let me due to the weather. If it clears enough (fingers crossed!), they'll move me over there tomorrow.

Back from the Big Island
Home for a few days before I head off to Belize for the final (at least for now) trip in my marathon! The Big Island of Hawaii is amazing and beautiful. Unfortunately I suffered from a sinus infection AND an ear infection in BOTH ears while I was there, so the trip itself was less than great. I've got a bunch of photos to edit through, but here's a little teaser for now.

Going for Gold?
As I previously mentioned, I photographed the lovely Katura Perinchief who is an Olympic hopeful from Bermuda's diving team. Her portrait will appear in the Summer 2008 issue of the The Bermudian Magazine, on sale this June. At this point it's still unknown whether or not Katura will be heading for China to compete, but I'm rooting for her!
On the Road: Hawaii
I'm packing my bags and getting ready to hit the road again tomorrow. I'll be on the Big Island of Hawaii from May 19-26 (and celebrating my birthday while I'm there!) I'll have email and voicemail access but it may be limited due to the time difference, so thanks for your patience during this time! There will, of course, be pics when I get back. Aloha!

I'm in a New York state of mind...
And lastly, the first leg of my trip (ironic, no?). I spent a very brief time in NY before hopping off to Thailand. During that time I:
had dinner with old friends (that's Kelly on the left - I'm shooting her wedding in Big Sur this August - and Amy on the right)
stayed at a creepy hotel
went to the top of the Empire State Building
and checked out Madam Tussaud's Wax Museum
and generally had a grand ol' NY experiernce
