The last 5 pins I've Pinned

Decided to share some on my recent pins again.

1) The beautiful island of Koh Phi Phi. G and I went to Thailand about 7 years ago (I can't believe its been that long) and I always love seeing photos of the beautiful country as it brings back so many memories. And a want to go back. Or at least somewhere.

2)  Beef Chimichangas. Don't they just look delicious?

3)  And speaking of delicious... Reese's Peanut Cup with cheesecake. Umm yum. 

4) These pillows look like they would be super comfortable. For kids. Or me.  I will quite honestly never make these or even attempt to. But hey, if someone wants to make them for me or the future child, please be my guest. 

5) One of my goals pre-baby is to make a lot of freezer meals. Maybe this link will be the one I follow.... 

Best & Worst Vacation

The lovely Blogtober14 prompt for today is Best and Worst Vacations.

If you take anything away from me, other than my love of champagne and books, is that I love to travel. I will jump at any opportunity to go to another country, immerse myself in the culture, and live. I get some people think I am just a city girl, but how many of you can say you've showered in a bucket before? Exactly.

Without further ado....

My BEST vacation:

I think my best vacation would have to be my 3 month foray in Thailand/Laos/Borneo with G. It was the first time travelling together, and we were in paradise. The beaches. The ocean. The heat. The monkeys. The orangutans. The snorkeling. The cheap food.  Loved it.

then...

Ghana. I have always wanted to go to Africa, and the chance of going to Ghana came up while I was working on my primatology degree. Loved it.

My WORST vacation:

This is a hard thing to come up with. I mean. I love travelling. I just love getting out and about, and I can't pinpoint any vacations that are the WORST. There are some trips that definitely had some low points.


1) In Laos when I got extremely sick.  maybe. Lesson learned: be cautious of street food. (Still loved the rest of Laos though, just not that day)

2) Krk,Croatia. Not the country. Not the company, you were awesome Jenn! The host.  Definitely the worst host ever. Made the time there a little tainted, so I'm glad we realized that and moved to better things that Croatia offered.

3) Las Vegas trip #2. I love the Vegas don't get me wrong.  But when there are too many people to coordinate things, it makes it suck. Especially when you aren't staying at the same hotel and feel obliged to do certain activities.
