Happy feet travel around the world

Back in 2014, I wondered where I would head to 2015.  Not surprisingly, my feet ended up where they belong....firmly back home in Los Angeles.
















2015 was not a great year for me, travel-wise.  Because of the move and everything else that comes with it, I only got to go on vacation once (I'm not complaining, just stating the facts). Because I only had time for one vacation, I knew I had to make it count.  This lone vacation was for a destination wedding in the Dominican Republic for my gorgeous friend Olesya. It was my first time there and I highly enjoyed it - great company and such beautiful beaches.  It was a vacation for the books, for sure!

This year is another busy one for me.  I started off great with a vacation to celebrate another wedding - my brother's (see last post).  Another vacation for the books and yet, none of these destinations are on my travel bucket list!  Here's the updated list (updated in 2014):

1. Canary Islands
2. Maldives
3. Thailand
4. Santorini (ok, all of Greece)
5. Italy - Positano, Florence, Rome, Venice, Vatican City
6. Siem Reap
7. Forbidden City in China
8. France - Lourdes, Paris,
9. Costa Rica March 2014 (yay!)
10. Peru
11. Argentina
12. Spain - all over, not just Barcelona and Madrid
13. Croatia - September 2014
14. Morocco
15. Mauritius
16. South Africa

And my last 4 destinations - Dominican Republic, Bali, Philippines and Vietnam are nowhere on this list.  Sigh.  I should probably get cracking on this list before I head anywhere else.

Oh, who am I kidding?!?  I'll go wherever the wind takes me and I have the rest of my life to work on this list.  If anything, this list will only get longer.  Already thinking of adding Iceland, Ireland and Scotland to the list.  :)

Where are you headed this year???  XOXO

Happy New Year

I know it's almost two months too late for a Happy New Year post but bear with me because although it has only been a couple months into the year, I have been super busy.

This year started off with an awesome vacation my brothers and my travel buddy.  Couldn't have asked for a better way to start the year.  Cheers to the new year!!

PS - Thanks for the video James.  Awesome job!

Cooper Johnson

Who would have ever guessed that I'm related to this little guy? Isn't he just the most precious thing? I met him for the first time when I visited bucolic San Luis Obispo this past weekend. His dad (my cousin) just came back after a 6-month stint in Afghanistan.

Here's my mom playing with him. My dog, Deuce, is in the background. He had the time of his life running around the open fields. I think he must've thought he died and went to doggie heaven. Lol.

Here I am enjoying one on one time with Cooper. What a cutie (me and him both, hahaha).

Thanks again to the Johnson family for accommodating us. We had a great time!
