Time.

Two weeks...TWO WEEKS!?!?! How the heck did the last 3 months go by so fast? I have been planning this move for a long time and it seems like all of a sudden, IT'S HERE.

Friday.

What a great Friday night with Debbie and Sam!!

Simmzy's in Manhattan Beach, then Pearl Jam Rock Band...we were awesome, especially on Supersonic.

Turns out, we should have all been rockstars, but I guess we missed our calling....

Turkey.

Happy Thanksgiving, All!!

I'm so thankful for my amazing family and awesome friends...I am one lucky girl! Even though I'm 3000 miles from my most of my family, my friends have become my family out here and I feel incredibly loved and happy.

I'm looking forward to being home for Christmas and making our famous stuffing with my Dad!!

Oh, and turkey. I love turkey.

Countdown.

One week from today I will be in Hawaii
One week after that, my parents are arriving CA
One week after THAT Mom and I will be 1/3 of the way across the USA.

We'll be driving on the 40 from Los Angeles...stopping first in Flagstaff and going to the Grand Canyon...then through Albuquerque, Amarillo, Oklahoma City, Little Rock, Memphis, Nashville, Chattanooga, Knoxville, Roanoke, Harrisburg, and on into Reading, PA!

This will be the 4th cross-country drive that I've done in the past 8 years...if you've never done it, you should!! The USA is absolutely beautiful and there are sights that you just can't see anywhere else, especially on the 90...

Kauai.

For my birthday, I'm going to Kauai...all by myself and I'm really looking forward to it. I earned the trip through work and will be staying for two nights at the Sheraton Kauai and two nights at the St. Regis. I'll be going on a mountain tubing excursion, snorkeling, hiking, and plenty of eating and drinking...what a way to turn 31!

Rock.

My favorite band in the world is Pearl Jam...Eddie, Jeff, Mike, Stone and Matt...I've been very lucky to see Pearl Jam play over 30 times since 1996. Their music has gotten me through every type of emotion imaginable and I don't know where I would be had I not discovered them so many years ago.

Their latest album, Backspacer, is fantastic and if you haven't heard it, I think you should...you're missing out!

Hello.

Well, it's about time that I started a blog, so this is my attempt. Good Luck, me!

My passion is travelling and I've been very fortunate to travel a bit in the past few years...Iceland, Australia, Croatia, Slovenia, Hungary, Ireland, Argentina, Brazil, Mexico and all over the USA. I'm about to embark on a cross-country drive with my Mom, which I'm looking forward to!!
