Your own private island is possible

When I flew to Palau, I didn't have specific expectations. I knew it was going to be pretty 'cause I had seen pictures and I also knew it was going to be fun 'cause one of my best friends Samantha was going and she is the most chill person I know.

I was also excited to meet up with some girlfriends from Boston that I hadn't seen in 4 years. Matter of fact Palau was their idea. It was never on my bucket list. Just as having my own private island for two days was never on my bucket list. 

However now I can happily add both to my "Things I Have Done List."

Thanks to Ngellil Island Resort, an eight room tiny resort in the middle of Rock Islands, Angelica, Carla, Cris, Danira, Erica, Samantha and I had our own little private island for 2 days.




We got to kayak to the Blue Caves, snorkel through a World War 2 sunken plane and eat barbecued fresh fish that Gary and his two colleagues fished for us while we were lounging in our hamacs, drinking fresh lemonade and coconut water. Life was perfect. 




 





 

  


Thanks again Gary, Prem and Denny's for a wonderful stay 

Why did I leave again? 

Oh yeah this thing called work that made it possible for me to comfortably fly in Business from New York to Palau for $23 😉 thank you very much 

Live, Love, Laugh & Travel

Trop Bon Trop Con

"Trop bon trop con" is a French expression that means that if you are too nice, people take advantage of you. True or false? Honestly I am not sure but it definitely made me wonder. Since I am old enough to remember, I have usually been nice. The kind of person who changed her plans for family or friends in order to accommodate everyone - with a smile. The kind of person that didn't think twice about spending more money on gifts for others than for herself because truly giving is more rewarding than receiving. But lately it seems I have run out of niceness. If you are wondering if niceness is a real word, it is! I looked it up. In many occasions, I found myself losing patience quicker than usually and not willing to meet anyone half way. My way or the highway kind of theory. And if someone made a mistake, well apologizing doesn't seem to cut it anymore. I wonder if my friends noticed, or if it is all the same for them. I talked to my brother, and he said

Hotel de Villeon, a gem located in Ardeche

When my friends Isabelle and Thibaut invited me to their wedding a few weeks ago, I was excited. Not because of the location of the wedding, I didn't even know where Tournon-Sur-Rhône was until I got there, but because I love weddings. Yes being single doesn't stop me from having fun celebrating all my friend's being madly in love and wanting to spend the rest of their lives together. Plus luckily for me, my friends are really cool and their weddings are super fun. And Isabelle and Thibaut's wedding was no exception to the rule.  The wedding took place in an old tunnel, which that alone was awesome. Champagne overflowed all night, and desserts kept multiplying, so of course I was extremely happy. And as for the bride and groom, they looked lovely and literally like movie stars when they exited the church ceremony in a white and red vintage Citroen. P-E-R-F-E-C-T-I-O-N        But really the whole weekend was perfect. Tournon-Sur-Rhône was perf

Girl's Trip Complications

Image
Anyone who has ever tried to put four girls in the same picture knows how difficult it can be, not to get them to take the picture, that's easy the part, but to get all four of them to agree that all four look good in one single picture and one single setting: "it's never the right profile, the right angle, the right look, the right filter and so on ..." It never ends. One of the girls will always claim to not look good enough. Us women like to complicate things, it is a fact. So what did I decide to do? Well I thought it would be fun to organize a girl's trip with a bunch of very different girls who mostly don't know each other. Sounds crazy, Right? But I have done it once with two girlfriends of mine who didn't know each other, and it all worked out. One glass of champagne in our cozy Business seats, and all three of us were BFFs for the rest of our Istanbul adventure. So why not try with more girls? Well because as a Facebook virtual friend of mi
