Seven Girls on an Island

Seven girls on an island could easily be the title of a horror movie or a dramatic reality tv show. Girls are often sneaky and/or catty, and on the off chance that they are nice, they are usually complicated. But I learned from my last trip to Palau that it doesn't always have to be that way.

Paradise, right? But I would be lying if I said that the trip was completely drama free. "Grocery " shopping was definitely highly stressful and it took a lot of mathematic skills to figure out the exact amount of beer cases and vodka bottles to purchase for our two day island stay.

Nobody wanted to run out of alcohol, but nobody wanted to buy too much and then waste it. I think one of the girls called dumping the extra liquor "alcohol abuse."

 
Champagne for the birthday girl :-)

Now I am confident that's not what alcohol abuse means, but regardless of the exact definition, I would go through this kind of "drama" again anytime. It was literally easier to plan this 5 day trip than it was to coordinate my cousin's one night bachelorette party.  Crazy!! But if you are a girl, you know what I am talking about.

      
  
Where was your best girl's trip? Or did your girl's trip turn into a nightmare ? Gossip please 😉 we are girls after all.

EAT WELL, TRAVEL OFTEN, TAKE PICTURES

Joshua Tree: the perfect spot to DISCONNECT

Image
Joshua Tree has always been on my list and by always, I mean since last August when I moved to Cali and started mapping out mini adventures in my new home state. So I guess always might be an exaggeration, but I get a little anxious and impatient when it comes to traveling and exploring.  So after cancelling Joshua Tree in November because of an ear infection, and December being crazy busy, I was super hopeful for January. But my hopes were shattered, and Joshua Tree started to become more and more like a dream that would never come true.  Perhaps another person would have thought it wasn’t meant to be - but like i said before, when it comes to traveling, I am pretty tenacious. So finally on the last day of February, with much juggling of my work schedule and some crazy luck, I made it to Joshua Tree and woke up to this beautiful sunrise on the 1st day of March.  The perfect way to start the month, don’t you think?  We entered the park t...

Imagine dating your computer

Image
Saturday night I went to the theater and saw the movie " HER " by director Spike Jonze and I have to say, even though I liked the movie, it could have been better if someone had introduced us before hand. I could have made it better because we could have used stuff from my book . This is the part where you think I am super full of himself for saying that a Hollywood director should collaborate with me. You might even wonder: did she really write that and go back to read the paragraph again. Don't bother. I did. You didn't misread. But I promise I am not full of myself. I loved the movie. It was brilliant. If you don't know what I am talking about, here is a quick synopsis: a lonely almost divorced guy writes love letters for a living but cannot seem to communicate with the people around him. He then falls in love with his OS. Sadly OS is not some sort of code for Obnoxious Secretary, it is an operating system. The man falls in love with his computer, who ends ...

Rude or not?

A few weeks ago, a flight attendant working with me on a flight to India approached me and asked if she could ask me a personal question. "Sure," I replied. "Don't get me wrong, you are beautiful," she said. I remember thinking "wow it is starting really good - what will follow is going to be really bad." But it wasn't. She noticed I had acne and knew of a treatment to fix it. I laughed and told her to relax. Why would I be offended? I was thankful, and if you ever had acne, you can relate because you probably tried a million of creams and lotions, which all failed, so even a glimpse of  hope meant something. And that's exactly what Carmen gave me: HOPE. However when a stranger approached me yesterday with his business card and said to call him because he had something that would fix my skin, I was a little annoyed. I felt that it was out of place for a stranger to mention anything about my skin or anything else for that matter....
