Island Hopping

I decided, because I know I tend to get a little lazy as a solo traveler, that I would pack my days with visiting as many islands as possible after Christin left.  I succeeded in hitting up five Greek islands in 11 days.  I thought I would give you a little dose of my fav. moments from each.

1. Santorini
By far my favorite island!  The best sunsets and the BEST company!

2. Mykanos
Ahh, dancing til' 7am.  Just like Alexander the Great...


3. Paros
The best part about solo traveling is you are ready to chat with almost anyone.  Getting free iced coffee and cake and chatting the day away in a small village with Stavros.  Yes, they are really named Stavros over here.

4. Naxos
Getting so lost on a bike and cursing whoever thought it would be funny to draw a map with their eyes closed.

5. Syros
Oh maaaan, the flowers on this island made my heart hurt.  This was my last island before heading to Spain.

Now, I hop over to Spain for some quality Sunday family hangout time!  I will miss you Greece...you delicious thing, you.

My Fair LadyBoy

Yes, finally. We found it. The combination of Thai Drag Queens (Lady Boys) and American show tunes. That, paired with Thai Mexican food, and I had quite a night in Chiang Rai! While mom devoured a whole fish and I tried to keep my food down from looking at the fried cockroaches, we enjoyed a delicious LadyBoy show, which you should as well, below: They were fab and we loved them. The best was when they would yell at each other to bow and to step right instead of left. No matter what country, a diva is a diva. Yesterday, mom had the genius idea instead of taking a 4 hour bus ride straight from Chiang Mai to Chiang Rai, we would instead do a tour and just have them drop us at the end. Note to anyone: this is WAY better than being stuck on a bus for a few hours. We got to see some great stuff, my fav being the White Palace. It was this weird combo of super tacky beauty and a mesh of American humor. I couldn't take pics on the inside, but the temple was covered with images of Superm

Just to the Right of Burning Man

 And we venture!  After making a few necessary pit stops, Target for a car seat so Noah could face forward, In n’ Out because, um, Noah needed it, we pointed to the East and said, sure, why not.   Our first few hours were great indications for how a lot of this road trip will go.  Breaking out the good snacks already and yelling to each other “we’re doing it!!!!”.   Then immediately burning through all the toys I brought for this little boy and learning that as much as I plan and researched all the top ten lists of best road trip toys, there is nothing like the reality of sitting in the back of an RV while your kid screams at you to bring you right back down to offline life.    Peaceful snooze for a few hours, thank goodness  Our RV, while comfy and immediately homey, sounds like a maraca inside a wind tunnel.  So, all toys with any portion of audible enjoyment are out.  Great.  And all my magnetic tiles and letters that I pictured Noah playing with endlessly to create the words he lov

Yesss...12 hour flight down, another 4 hour flight to go until Bangkok! I am in probably the cleanest airport I have ever placed foot in; im nervous to be here cause I feel like they are going to bust me for not showering in the last 15 minutes. My mom and I keep looking at eachother saying, "what are we doing here?? Are we really doing this trip?". I love that I get to share this with her, this is for sure the ballsy-est trip we have ever done. So far I want to eat everything in sight and put as many spicy sauces on it to burn my tongue until I return to the states in 2 months. I also feel like there was a time I thought I was semi-trendy with my fashion; now I am being put to shame and we aren't even out of the airport yet. More to come soon, see you in Bangkok!
