Travelling is what you make it!

http://travelversed.com/travel-spots/9-worst-countries-to-visit/

I have been to two of the countries on this list, Brazil and Russia. While I was aware of the dangers each county posed as far as tourists are concerned I did not let it get to me. Travelling is usually what you make it. Just use some common sense and you will probably live to travel on!

Back On Blogger Again!

God, I haven't checked this thing in ages! :P

Next Chapter!

Alaska was great and being on a cruise made it even better! However, Alaska, has has NO T-Mobile coverage and few free Wi-Fi hotspots. But, having a friend fly out from Scotland just to join us made up for all the disconnected messages! 

After years of planning, the timing could not have been better! I celebrated my 21st Birthday and mom celebrated Mother's Day (yes, I bought her a new ring). Not to mention, the weather was PERFECT!

Though there was some sickness on the ship, mom being one of the sick (she is feeling better now), all in all the trip has been totally worthwhile. Now, we are in Portland (arrived yesterday from Seattle via my first Amtrak trip) for the next couple weeks in this new chapter of our travels.

So, thanks for you prayers regarding our safe travels! I will try to upload some pictures in the next few days!

Traveling Again!

Well, after a year of no major travels, I am on the road again, well mostly air so far. After two plane changes I finally arrived in Vancouver, BC, Canada.

My mom and I are joining the NCL Pearl tomorrow - bound for Alaska. This will be the best birthday ever!

Did the Expected

I have done what I thought that I would end-up doing. What did I do? I had totally forgotten about my blog. I have unwittingly, though not surprisingly, left my "travel blog" to starve like some Tamagotchi pet from the 90's. Okay, while I have not been doing any exotic traveling as of late, maybe I can revive upon my next trip.
