Let the record show that I’m writing a series of travel posts not to say LOOK AT ME! I can get on the jet plane and go to faraway places, so suck it! but instead to share a little bit of my extreme and overwhelming joy. And also to avoid forgetting the important details of [...]

Until next time
09.28.08 –
I’m sinfully high off of this trip. Vacations like this one are like double orders of cheesecake, topped with bulging red raspberries, dipped in dark chocolate and buttercream icing, then fed to me by the straight male cast of the Young and the Restless while the Seminoles score a touchdown. Trips like this aren’t on [...]
It’s all Greek to me

Dear everyone,
Right now it’s 12:30 am here, that is in my floating dorm room, and in my head it’s only rush hour. I get jet lag like kindergarten teachers get pinkeye, on the wind. Sleepy does not even begin to describe it, but I’m ridiculously, lusciously content. I love travel almost as much as [...]

Sleeping on it
09.13.08 –
I spent all day with the BFF who lost her kitty. We spent last night together, surrounded by friends old and new, and at least thrice I was reminded just how long my stories about her stretch. The moment she asked for Icehouse at a relatively fine Bahamian restaurant, the time I found her passed [...]

I feel like I can’t let the day go by without writing about it, as if saying something here will ensure we don’t forget. I think that’s what I’m struggling with most today, not because people are going on with their lives, but because it feels as if the events of seven years ago are [...]
