When I had my first interview at WE, as we were approaching the end I was asked, “We have heard about Lisa the travel professional, but tell us something about Lisa that interests you outside of that”. One friend said to me, do they have a day? Which is true. My answer was precise and to the point.

I like photography, I like food, I like taking pictures of food…..oh and I like adult colouring books. The more detailed the better.

For those who know me well, you know that I was very late to join the “Apple” generation. I finally gave in this past April. I will say that Heath would have had a great laugh when I made my purchase because he was all about the newest tech thing out there. I remember when the Iphone X was being released we were on the phone at midnight when it was released and he bought one.

There I am, at Best Buy talking to the resident phone geek. We were looking at the XR as the phone I would get and then I mentioned the camera. I know that the cameras are good, and that is important to me, very important. He then jumped over the XS. Walked in with a Blackberry and out with the newest Iphone.

I want to share two photos with you today. Pictures really are worth 1000 words. If you know me at all, you know there is a story. There always is.

This first photo was obviously taken in Washington. We had just been at the White House taking in the view and discussing our obsessions with Scandal and looking at the terrace where Fitz and Olivia would stand out on during the show and then begin to walk down Pennsylvania avenue to the memorials. As we were walking I found a great spot where we could have our “leaning Tower of Pisa” moment.

Move your finger up, no too much. Move to the left, no too much. I was laughing so hard I couldn’t even take the photo. As I was moving back, we lost the whole shot because he was yelling at me as I bumped into a lady on the street. The end result was this photo.

The second photo I want to share is a funny one considering my love of taking photos. This one is from our trip to Mexico in October 2017. We had such a great, relaxing week at the all inclusive resort, which was largely in part to us upgrading to a swim out suite, we had the most relaxing vacation I think I ever had.

It wasn’t until we were on the way to the airport that I said we didn’t even have one picture of us together. So, there we were, sitting at TGI Fridays eating lunch at the airport and we took this selfie. Relaxed and tan, it was funny.

I am happy to have a great camera on my phone now, so I don’t have to carry my camera in my purse all the time. If you know me, you know that is true, I bought a pocket canon camera to carry with me, because the camera on the Blackberry was so horrible.

Today I leave you with some more musical lyrics, this time from Green Day

So take the photographs and still frames in your mind
Hang it on a shelf in good health and good time
Tattoos of memories and dead skin on trial
For what it’s worth it was worth all the while

It’s something unpredictable, but in the end it’s right
I hope you had the time of your life
