No, I haven’t been enjoying myself so much that I didn’t have time to blog. The truth is I’ve been in bed with a flu and fever that seemed to sap all of my energy away.
I had the works - the itchy throat, the fluctuating fever, the sneezes (I used up one whole box of [...]

I think one of the things that makes travel so interesting is the sharing. You go have a great time at a new place, take tons of photos and have lots of stories to tell. But if you have no one to share your excitement with, then what good is it, right?

A lady I know was just walking to her car parked [...]

I’m the kind of person who can’t sit still. Even when I was working, I was still going to classes to learn a new language or craft.
So when I hear from friends that they’re planning on getting an online education on top of their fulltime jobs, I’m like, great!

Seems like we’ve been to practically every shopping mall in town already :lol: and still we’re not sick and tired of it yet. We’re still trying to decide where to go today.
We’ve been leading a much slower pace of life these past weeks. No need to worry about the time. No need to worry about meals [...]

Since the price of frozen turkey has gone up by 3 times the price per kilo of last year’s price, we’ve decided to skip the turkey feast. Crazy!
We’ve already missed our Thanksgiving turkey so we might as well skip Christmas. We don’t celebrate Christmas per se but we love roast turkey.

I’ve been to Las Vegas a few times and each time, I’m thrilled at how the city never sleeps. I love that we can wake up at 2 or 3 or 4 in the morning, get dressed and step outside to a city that’s still wide awake.
