I had 2 big trips in March. First to Tempe, Arizona then a vacation with Scott to Switzerland!
Tempe, Arizona
Earlier this year I was accepted to the Arizona State University MBA Program. The program is sponsored by BP, work is done virtually with the exception of 3 visits to the campus to work with our cohort.
So the first week of March I travelled to Tempe, Arizona to start the program. It was very strange to be back on a University campus, but by the end of the week I was really enjoying it. In addition to the gorgeous weather, I was able to catch up with some of my colleauges I have met over the past 8 years with BP.
I built in a few days off to enjoy the nice sunshine, I did some hiking, running, shopping and also had a great opportunity to catch up with Elaine, a friend from Detroit who moved to AZ a few years ago.
Here are some photos of a Sunday morning hike up Camelback Mtn:
So that was all the fun stuff about the MBA program, now it is to work. I feel as though I was hit by a truck with all the work that I have to do for the program. An additional 20 hrs a week to the already hectic day job schedule. As of today we are in week 3 and I am gradually getting used to it.
Wengen, Switzerland
Scott and I took a week off to go to the Swiss Alps for a ski and yoga vacation. December 07 we did a yoga vacation through Yogatraveller to Thailand, we enjoyed it so much we didn't hesitate to sign up for a ski/yoga trip designed by them.
The weather in Wengen was excellent (ok, well maybe a little warm for skiing) it was sunny, clear blue skies all week so we were out and about each day. Scott was a maniac and skied all 6 days, I only made it out for 4. Telemark skiing is a lot of exercise!
The ski train into Wengen, how cute is that train?
