Oh, the Places You Will Go!

Happy Hump Day all!

When I was 15yrs old, my mom began to travel with groups of her friends.  This was a big deal for my mom because she always talked about wanting to see the world outside of the Bronx.  I remember how wide-eyed with excitement  she would be when she would travel. Fortunately for me I  have inherited her love of travel. For years I was scared to go away because I had convinced myself I was too big for the airplane seat. After years of denying my wanderlust, I took a giant leap and traveled to the Summer Olympics in 1996. It would take me a few more years (and a better income!) for me to travel like I wanted but now it’s one of the things I absolutely love to do!

I’m happy to say I’ve completed my first travel to do list! Yay! Now that my list is completed, I made a new list exotic places to visit. My goal is to visit these amazing places before my 50th birthday.

1. Sydney
2. Paris
3. Dubai
4. Beijing
5. Johannesburg
6. St.Lucia
7. Belize
8. Barcelona

Hopefully I’ll be able to knock  either Paris or Beijing off my list later this year (keep your fingers crossed for me!).

What places are on your travel “to do” list?

Have a wonderful day!

Fall Break Pt. 1

TGIF all!

After my last vacation in August, I knew I wanted to go away again before the year was out.  After stumbling on an amazing deal for five days/four nights in an all-inclusive Cancun resort for less than $750, I HAD to jump on it! While I’ve been to Mexico before (I went to Playa Del Carmen in 2007), I’ve never been to Cancun, so I was excited to finally go.

Tamera and I had such a great time! We soaked up the sun, laughed, ate wonderful food and relaxed.  The weather was great for the first half of the vacation but it rained so bad Wednesday that our snorkeling trip was cancelled (boo!).  The sun eventually came out later in the afternoon so the rest of the day was salvaged.

Here are some of the highlights of my Fall vacay!

Have a wonderful weekend!
