(Photo stolen from Andrea.) So….Vegas happened. It was, once again, ridiculous and magical and full of hugging and laughing and inside jokes and and and me looking FREAKISHLY good in hats (and also a bit like Jason Mraz when I quickly glance in the mirror after several afternoon drinks). (FYI I look good in all [...]

Almost a year ago, I packed my car up with all my stuff, shipped it cross country, then packed the rest of my belongings in a ridiculously large bag, and boarded a plane to Vegas. The first Annual Bloggers in Sin City extravaganza was a lay-over for me in between two lives. On one side [...]

As part of Gwen Bell’s awesome Best of ’09 year wrap up, I’m going to attempt to participate and reflect on this past ridiculous year. First up is the best trip of the year…. This was an unbelievably tough decision. This was a year that had me traveling to Boston for my college graduation: to [...]

This weekend I went to Vegas. This weekend I met 25 (give or take) of the most awesome 20-somethings on the planet. This weekend, I made some new, amazing, ridiculously wonderful friends. This weekend was completely made possible by the internet.  Crazy, right? Although I don’t think I can do justice to the weekend on [...]

Well, here I am, all packed and ready to board my flight to Vegas in the morning. It’s weird. Last December, coming home to live for the semester instead of staying in Boston seemed like the worst thing in the world. I’d miss my friends. I’d miss “senior year.” I’d be bored. I’d feel useless.

In an attempt to counteract my general laziness of late, I’m going to try to cram the rest of my Australia trip into one post, or I fear it will never be recorded for posterity. This is going to be epic. Don’t say you weren’t warned. (To read my first two recaps click on over [...]

(To catch up on my recaps, start here And now, the adventure continues:  Saturday was a big day for us. We started out in the morning by heading to Victoria Market in the heart of Melbourne. It’s a huge outdoor market with anything you can think of: food, clothes, shoes, jewelry, souvenirs, bags, and hats. It was [...]

After a ridiculously fun and exciting month away, I’m back! I can’t believe that my trip is over, and I’m still a little jet-lagged, but I want to get everything I can down about the trip before it all starts to slip away. I don’t know how I’m even going to begin to tackle this, [...]

I’m just adding my voice to the chorus here on my blog to wish everyone an amazing holiday from down under! I’m missing you guys a ridiculous amount, but have been checking up on my sister and am pleased that she is keeping my blog company. Her post may or may not have made me [...]

My giant suitcase is packed. My to-do list is all checked off. I’m officially ready to get up tomorrow at 4Am to catch my 6:30Am flight to LA and then sit around LAX until 10:30PM when I’ll board my 15 hour flight to Melbourne. Yep, that’s about 36 hours of straight travel, but hopefully I’ll [...]
