Waaiiiiiiit, is this a trick? What happened to BSB #5?! Seriously, weren’t there five members? I’m thinking my odds look good. Anyway, SR made me so famous that I seriously had the largest spike in readers that I’ve ever had in my whole entire blogger life. Like by the thousands! SR has some serious famous genes! So hi to all my new readers–hopefully you stick around so we can be friends 🙂
So guess what else? I got the absolute best news yesterday that seriously made my day!! This March, I am officially turning 30 (as opposed to unofficially turning 30). I know, it’s terrifying yet true. Just use me as an example to your children re: what NOT to do in regards to the sun and premature wrinkling. It’s a bitch, I tell ya. Anyway, my little sister’s birthday is only a few days before mine, and since she just recently moved to Hawaii, my parents and I had already made plans to go spend a week or two there and kinda cover both of our bdays in one celebratory week. I mean, it’s Hawaii….that place just screams celebrations and sparkles, doesn’t it?
Anyway, long story (not so) short, my parents told me yesterday that they are going to take me on a trip before we hit up Hawaii! I’m pretty sure they’re congratulating me for surviving 3 decades of all the crazy s**t I do. The best part? We’re talking international!! Apparently, they can swing certain circumstances with their plane tickets because of all of their frequent flyer miles. One such circumstance happens to include a stop in any Asian country before we hit up Hawaii. I’m psyched. As of now, the three of us are debating between Vietnam, China, and Nepal. My dad is leaning towards Vietnam, and although that would be awesome, I have already been to both Thailand and Cambodia. Yes, I realize they are different countries, but I’d like to try something totally different and unique. Honestly? I’m pushing for China. I’d love to see the Great Wall, and there has always been something intriguing to me about rural China. I’d also really enjoy checking out the Silk Road. But in reality, I’m psyched about wherever they choose to take me….and I’ll love it!!
And yes, if you clicked on the link and are wondering, I did bribe my way into Cambodia. I’m stealth like a ninja. Or an idiot. Not sure just yet!
In your opinion, what country should we pick? It can be anywhere in Asia/South Pacific.
New followers: please say hi so I can meet you! 🙂

I just found your blog through SR and I love it already!!! I don’t have a blog yet.. I tried it once but sucked on the upkeep :S but I will try again!!!! I’m super jealous of your travels and would LOVE to travel the world one day!! Any tips/ideas on how to start the planning process???
Congrats on the guest post
ANd super congrats on the family trip to Hawaii and the other places
Whooohooo that is awesome- both the SR post and the travel!
So jealous about Hawaii! Your going to have so much fun. I would go to China too. My friend’s husband studied abroad there and loved it! He had such cool pictures from the great wall.
Yay for exotic travel!
The only Asian country I’ve been to is the Asian side of Turkey so I’m not much help.
I’d go back to Italy in a heartbeat.
Now it’s my turn to be out of the loop. I’ve never heard of Skinny Runner until right now!
Way to get popular and awesome! 😉
And your parents rock! I’ve been to none of the above but loved my trip to Korea – we will definitely go back some time soon! 🙂
Lucky you and what a great surprise. I would say I enjoyed my trip more to San Fran then I did to Costa Rica this summer. I have a thing with leaving the country and not getting my Starbucks lol.
My brother lived in China for two years and I wanted to go visit him so bad but couldn’t come up the money. He actually hopped over a fence into North Korea for like 30 seconds.
Sounds like a pretty kickass birthday! Im so excited for you! If I could travel anywhere in the world, I would go to Australia
Just found you through SR too! I don’t normally click on the blogs she says to check out, but something said, check her out. So thanks for the entertainment!
That trip is going to be awesome! Neither of our parents are ever interested and doing anything like that….such a shame. Actually….no one in our family is except us. They call us the black sheep. Weird.
Hawaii for your 30th birthday sounds amazing! Plus a trip to an Asian country, double the fun! I’ve been to Hawaii about 8 years ago, and that the coolest place I’ve ever been. I’m your newest follower : )
Just found you….so glad I did! I WISH we lived next door. I would do that HIM with ya! My finger is lingering over the submit key for registration…..I just WISH I was brave enough to do it alone!!!
Loving your blog and zest for life!
