Bob and I are just back from an amazing 15-day birding adventure in Chile, with ten of the nicest birders you've ever met! We traveled from Santiago to Valparaiso, had an amazing pelagic experience, flew to Arica and spent time in the highlands of Putre.

In Southern California, it almost feels like summer, doesn't it? We had more than a week of temps in the 80's! In fact, the Super Bowl was played in the hottest temps on record - go Rams!

January was pretty low key for us. Mostly, we went birding and played beach volleyball, and I worked a LOT.

We had a wonderful holiday weekend with family and friends. Sadly, I did test positive for Covid in December. The good news is that this was nothing more than mild cold symptoms.

We’re back from our cruise on Celebrity Apex, which was our Dream Vacations Franchise National Conference.

We’re back from Peru, and in a flash my sister visited from NY for 10 days and we had a fun long weekend in Palm Springs with our BFFs. I also had a fun girls weekend in Big Bear to celebrate my girlfriend’s birthday.
