Technology is my nemesis

I have been trying to upload a video for you to watch for the last several days.  I'm beyond frustrated because it WONT upload!  Not with YouTube, Picasa, Blogger or anything else I've tried.

It was a classic demonstration of what we encounter on a daily basis.  Hawkers, gawkers, nose picking nad hand holding.  I'll keep trying and maybe can get it posted in the next week or so.

 In the alternative, I'll share a hastily put together slideshow of our recent vacation to Kerala, India.  Sorry, no music, and I didn't even have time to put the photos in an order that allowed the slideshow to end nicely and smoothly.

Oh well ....

Enjoy.




We thoroughly enjoyed our Christmas in Kerala ... with the seafood, the sand, the local music, the service and ambience of this resort, the Christmas lights, Snickers bars, Kingfisher beer and our TIME TOGETHER.

In true Naomi-fashion, I planned (over-planned, quite honestly) this vacation to the minute. An elephant camp, a museum, a "must see beach" that TripAdvisor touted as not-to-miss, etc. was on the agenda. After enjoying our first day just with each other, the sea salt air and our camera, we abandoned our original itinerary. Ripped it up and threw it away.

Our original itinerary was full of sightseeing and places to see ... and we traded it in for sunscreen, straw hats/visors, collecting seashells and flashlight lit walks on the beach hunting for sand crabs.

I likely won't post any more photos of this trip ... as they are all pool and beach pics -- plus, I want to preserve some of our trip's memories as just-for-us. Know this --- this family trip was long awaited ... much needed and well enjoyed.
