A lot has happened since last December (my last post)… I
have been extremely busy and haven’t had the time or maybe I didn’t
think my thoughts were appropriate to put into words and publish to the world
or maybe I was not ready for the world to read my thoughts and judge or maybe
I didn’t know my thoughts…whatever the reason, I have decided that it is time.
Time to blog again, time to update the world, time to catch up.<o:p></o:p></div>

Quite a bit has changed in my life since the last
post/update. One of those many changes is my relationship status and therefore I
am changing the blog name. You can now follow me at Runningtheearth.blogspot.com<o:p></o:p></div>

I should back up and tell you a little about our last night
on the ship. It was a memorable night
for sure! We went up to the Sky Bar (one
of the only bars on the ship to stay open past 1am…this was super odd to all
the young people on the ship and the only bar to have a dance floor and DJ at
late hours) as they were doing last call and some of our friends were there so
we stayed around to chat and hang out.
After last call, the bartender closed down her bar and the DJ stopped
playing. It was just the guests left
finishing their drinks…or so that’s what the crew thought. Next thing you know one of our friends was
behind the bar…and what happens next makes the whole night a little crazy. She found that the bartender did NOT, I
repeat did NOT lock her liquor cabinet.
So there we are…our last night on the ship, in a bar that has been
‘closed’, with a somewhat unlimited supply of alcohol, and no one to bother us
until the morning. What do we?? and I
use we loosely as Davis and I (especially me) tried to stay out of
trouble. We try to figure out the DJ
equipment and get some music playing.
This only takes us about 5 minutes.
Then we decide that we need to turn off the lights because of course
there are cameras and we do NOT want this party to be stopped! We stay in this bar until 2 guys come in and
start setting up tables for the morning’s disembarkation (possibly 4am). They do NOT say a word to us so we take our
party outside to Lawn club. After
getting in trouble for trying to make tents on the lawn with chairs and pool
towels, Luke (one of the guys) decides we need to get in the pool. The pools are clearly closed with netting and
signs, however this does not stop us.
Next thing you know, of course we are getting in trouble because “the
pool is closed”. Luke says “I didn’t
notice” and immediately gets in the hot tub.
Then we are told the hot tub is closed as well. What next?
Try the indoor pool…again the ship police come to tell us the indoor
pool is closed as well. This takes us to
6:30am, breakfast is already being served
and we were 15 minutes from docking in Singapore and we are EXHAUSTED!! Time for a quick nap before disembarking.<o:p></o:p></div>

Luke is still on the ship, that was not his last night! I am not sure he will make it to Australia
without getting kicked off. <o:p></o:p></div>

We went to bed and our stateroom attendant woke us up at 9am
to tell us that last call was just announced and we needed to get off the
ship. Needless to say, packing that
morning, disembarking, and the taxi ride to our hotel were not the best
experiences of our lives. But what a night and a great story that will never be forgotten. Upon arriving
at the hotel, we ate quickly before hopping in bed until 7pm. Yes, we semi-wasted a day in Singapore but it
was much needed rest as we had plans with the crew of the ship to go out that
night. And going out in Singapore is
CRAZY!!!<o:p></o:p></div>

Our night out – We went back to the cruise terminal that
night to pick up our favorite bartender for a night on the town. We went to Clarke Quay and as we were walking
around trying to pick a bar because the street is lined with 1 bar after
another, we ran into more crew and sat down to have a drink with them. Two words to describe Singapore’s night
life…WILD and EXPENSIVE. So the locals
buy their own liquor and mixers and sit on the sidewalk before going
clubbing. A beer is $16, yes 1 beer! After paying a ridiculous amount of money for
6 drinks, we went dancing and it was awesome!
I love dancing so I was stoked and Davis had an equally good time (he
told me later that was the most fun dancing experience for him). We shut down the club at 4:20am and headed
back to the hotel to sleep…this takes us to 1pm the following day.<o:p></o:p></div>

The Flyer, or Singapore’s Ferris wheel, is the tallest in
the world…of course you say, you shouldn’t expect anything else of us at this point! And of course, we rode it. Each gondola holds 28 people! It was pretty awesome, we went at sunset so
we saw the city and harbor during the day and night. Crazy thing is you can go at 7:15 year round
and it will be sunset because it is that close to the equator...concierge tip :)<o:p></o:p></div>

Sentosa Island – It is a Disney world island for free...the catch you pay for
the rides. It is definitely worth checking out and spending a day. It is an interesting place, probably only need to do it once. The coolest things we did while over there were luging and wave surfing. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-wlTJiZPxs">funny video here...</a> of another chick trying it out. It was so much harder than it looked but I eventually got the hang of it, I did have a couple of tumbles that hurt.</div>

Night Safari - Our last night, we went on the night safari. It is the world's first <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nocturnal">nocturnal</a> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoo">zoo</a>. This is a must do...unlike traditional nocturnal houses, which reverse the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circadian_rhythm">day-night cycle</a> of animals so they will be active by day, the Night Safari is an entire open-air zoo set in a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humid">humid</a> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tropical_forest">tropical forest</a> that is only open at night. It is divided into eight <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geography">geographical</a> zones, which can be explored either on foot via three walking trails, or by tram. However, since it is nighttime...my pictures did not turn out great so that kinda stinks. But it was a good time and I would definitely go back.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
This was a quick stop so I don’t feel like we saw the city
but we did (as always) fit as much as we possibly could into such a short
time. We went to the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batu_Caves">Batu Caves</a>, which
to be honest I am not exactly sure what this is….besides 272 stairs that lead
to a cave with a lot of monkeys and a couple roosters. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
However, it was super cool for many reasons…it was unique
and had a huge statue at the entrance that made it look important. The monkeys were everywhere, it was kind of
scary as I didn’t know if they were going to jump on me and steal my
purse or just creepily stare at me. I was a bit paranoid! BUT in my defense they were thieves, we saw one steal a
girl’s water bottle out of her hands. He
then took it to the top of this arbor like thing and tried to unscrew the lid,
when he couldn’t get the lid off…he just bit a hole in the bottom of the bottle
and started drinking. Smart bugger! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
After, the caves we went to the city and had lunch before
visiting the tallest telecommunications tower in the world. What’s up with this trip and seeing the
tallest buildings, you ask. I have no
idea! We stopped for a photo of the twin
towers, a gorgeous building before heading back to the ship.<o:p></o:p></div>

I told you it was a quick and very intense day of go, go, go...</div>

Everything was different in India starting with them driving
on the wrong side of the road in the wrong side of the car. It was actually much cleaner than I
expected. We were in Cochin and it was
way cleaner than Egypt. They appreciated
and used their rivers…for everything.
Bathing, washing dishes, washing clothes, and cooking, unlike Egypt
whose rivers were not visible for all the trash floating (however they still
fished in these waters).<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
There were people, cars, bicycles, motorcycles, and mopeds
all using the same single lane road. It
was madness but somehow with all the honking everyone is safe. I am pretty sure honking is a language
there. It seemed that honking was
constant, but it also seemed that it made a difference so I guess they are not
immune to honking like we are in the states.
They have these 3 wheeled moped/car thingys they call tuktuks and they
are awesome! I videoed our ride in 1 and
what an experience!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The ‘backwaters’ were super interesting. Everyone has their own steps into the water,
it’s like a road for us. Instead of
roads and driveways, they have steps into water and boats. They really use these waters for getting
around and I just think that is so cool.
Can you imagine getting your child ready for school and putting him/her
in a boat instead of on a bus? <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Also the rice fields, there were sooo many of them and piles
of rice everywhere. And then you would
see a boat go by with bags and bag of rice.
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
They fish with old school Chinese fishing nets. They lower these HUGE nets into the water and
use a levy system that hoists the nets out of the water by using lots of big
rocks. This is done on the banks of the
water, not on boats.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So many kids, and so many kids working with their parents
trying to make a dollar by selling bracelets, clothes, dolls, postcards,
anything and everything. And all of them
were super friendly and smiling. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The cricket fields…we were there 2 days and both days the
fields were packed with people playing cricket.
I had never actually seen cricket being played, but it looks a lot like
baseball.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I will definitely be visiting India again! This was probably my favorite of our trip besides seeing the Pyramids.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Oman was interesting, not at all what I had expected, but
maybe that’s because I am not sure what I expected. We started the day by going to the fish
market. Their fish market is the
equivalent to our pavilions at parks. It
was a concrete slab with a roof. The
only difference was the tiled blocks that housed ice for the fish to remain
fresh a little longer. There were all
kinds of sea life; octopus, squid, crabs, eel, and many kinds of fish. And it was dirt cheap!! After the fish market, we went to a fort
which was neat but HOT! We then went to
a hot springs, which was the source of water for many of the locals. We received massages from the fish here, what
an idea. AND it sells! They are fish massages all over Malaysia and
Singapore, we received our's for FREE!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
After the hot springs, we went to a resort for lunch. We had spare time so we walked down to the beach. It was awesome for multiple reasons, starting
with hardly anyone was there…my guess is this is a vacation spot for Europeans
as Muslim women cannot wear swimsuits?
It was super relaxing and there were camels. It is odd to see camels on the beach! We saw a guy wind surfing which was pretty
cool and then it was hot and we needed to head indoors! <o:p></o:p></div>

Interesting fact: the
Sultan is a private subject, the people cannot know how many wives he has nor
can they know how many kids he has…such an odd thing to not know about your
leader. Also, religion there is
interesting as you can believe whatever you want but you cannot try to push
your beliefs onto others.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
I am now to the half way point of our trip...I know it has taken me forever! A lot has been going on, more on that later.<br />
<br />
It is America on steroids.
It’s like the Texas of the world…”everything is bigger in Dubai”!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I imagined this is what life would be like living in the
Jetson’s world only without flying cars.
It was so modern, clean, and bizarre.
Skyscrapers, gigantic billboards, skiing in the desert, man-made
islands, malls (lots of them and of course the biggest)…Dubai has it all. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
There is lots of money, money, money!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We had a blast exploring.
We started with a city tour; visiting the Burj Arab (tallest hotel in
the world), Palm Island (manmade islands in the shape of a palm tree), Emirates Mall with the
indoor ski park, and the Burj Khalifa (tallest building in the world). </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We went to the top of the Burj Khalifa and
what a crazy sight. It’s the desert…so
you can’t see much because of the dust and if you can see…well it’s the desert
so passed the city it’s the desert. Not
a whole lot to see but it is the tallest building in the world so one must go
to the top. Oh yeah, I can’t forget to
mention the elevator. It was a bizarre
experience! Going up was so odd, that I
wanted to record the ride down…guess what?
The ride down was super tame! So
I did not get a recording of the psychedelic ride up, but I will tell you…the
elevator is pitch dark and neon lights spastically running around the walls
while Arab music is blasting. In other
words, there was no doubt that you were not at home and that they designed and
built the tallest building and this was their elevator.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Then we decided when in Dubai, one must ski so we went back
to the mall and acted like 8 year olds in the ski park which was absolutely
freezing!! We are used to snowboarding
outside where there is a sun and let me tell you….the sun makes a HUGE
difference! We had no idea it would be
sooo cold inside and now I understand why they have 2 hour tickets available
for purchase…because no one in their right mind wants to be inside for more
than 2 hours! We couldn’t even bear it
that long; we enjoyed the park for a whole hour before I was almost completely
numb. Since we had burned sooo many
calories playing for an hour, we treated ourselves to some Cold Stone and then
did a little shopping before getting back on the ship and crashing for the
night! The next day, new people boarded
the ship and we set sail for Oman. <o:p></o:p><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
Absolutely amazing!!
First off it was so much cleaner than Egypt. You guys would go there and think clean? BUT
seriously Egypt is gross! The vendors
were NOT super aggressive; they didn't start talking to you before you came
into their store, they did not touch you or put items in your arms for purchase
that you had never seen and especially did not want. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
But the best part of Jordan was Petra, a city built entirely
of sandstone thousands of years ago.
This was mind blowing, the thought of having to catch rain water for use and the fear of flooding because you live in a canyon. The
intelligence that existed so many years ago and how we have progressed their
thinking with science is absolutely amazing.
These are things you are told about growing up, but do not really think about nor understand until you see. In my personal experience it is impossible to understand until you have seen. I could go on forever but it’s
not going to help because to put something like Petra in words is impossible! Wow!<o:p></o:p></div>

Although we moved at the beginning of the month, we are crazy work life, we have only spent maybe 10 days in Austin. However, because my husband is a slave driver and we have already had 2 weekends worth of visitors...our place is our home! It is not completely finished, but it looks great and I love it! We have also already got sunburnt and it's only February!! <br />

<br />
I love Seattle as a city and I love the friends we have made since moving there only 5 short years ago. However, Seattle has taught me that I need the sun more often than 152 days a year, that's less than half the year! And most of these days happen to be in the summer which makes Seattle summers the best, however there is no reason to stick around for the winters. <br />
<br />
They say if you can stand the 3rd winter then you are set and can do Seattle for life (I guess the first 2 are still new) and it was the 3rd winter that I looked at Dave and said....no, this isn't for me. "I can not handle another one". However change is not that easy and I had to deal with 2 more winters (well really just 1 considering we were in Asia, the Middle East, Africa, TN, and everywhere else for this one). But Seattle winters are a thing of the past and I couldn't be more excited! <br />
<br />
So after much debate and a huge spreadsheet of options, pretty much every city in America...we have decided the next place for us in Austin, TX. <br />
<br />
Austin has 228 days of sun! That's whole sun, no clouds! It also has technology, a great night life, intelligent young people, sweet tea and sweet people, football, boots, lakes, swimming pools, more space, and it's much closer to home so hopefully more visitors!<br />
<br />
The downfalls - having to drive and missing our Seattle peeps although they will visit and fall in love and hopefully move!<br />
<br />
We (or maybe just me) are (is) hoping Austin will be our love. I hope it will satisfy all of our needs and it will be home. So here's to the next 5...<br />
<br />
The big question now?<br />
<br />
Will Austin be the one?<br />
<br />
<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
Our next port was Safaga, Egypt. We took a 3.5 hour bus ride to Luxor, aka
Thebes. The Valley of the Kings can be
found here. The Valley of the Kings is
just what it sounds like, where all the kings were buried after death. The tombs were extravagant because they
believed that the treasures in the tombs would be waiting on them as they
returned in the afterlife. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The
hieroglyphics in the tombs were amazing...they were so colorful still after thousands of years...how do colors from nature stay around that
long? The beliefs they had about death
and the afterlife, the angels and justice, these were all written in the
tombs. The tombs had to take forever
to carve out and write and color, I have no idea how people just didn't give up. I guess they didn't have much else to
do but still such hard work and in the heat...oh, the heat! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Luxor was much cleaner then Cairo, although still dirty and
dusty. The people were more countryside and less modern, especially in dress. Almost
every house had a donkey out front and every donkey was trying it’s hardest to
get into whatever shade it could. Again, the heat!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The vendors apparently had heard of ‘happy hour’,
although I don’t think they quite grasp the concept of an hour considering it
was happy hour all day long. They also didn't grasp that happy hour usually means drinks/food. They were selling trinkets for “Happy Hour” and they would all be yelling "happy hour here".<o:p></o:p></div>

Although it looks like that, it was still an awesome day of snorkeling, napping, and napping! The water was so wonderfully clear. The reefs were good size and there was plenty of sea life of the coast of this island with no life. No one inhabited this island, everyone was transported there by boat daily...however to my surprise there was running water!! It was an adventure for sure when we realized we had to get off this boat</div>

Luckily for us, we are young and capable. However, we had many older folks and even a handicapped man on board. This was a constant on our trip and the people amazed me daily on how much they were willing to do...walk for miles, take a boat to an island in a wheelchair, climb stairs. These are things I hope I am willing and able to do when I reach their age. They made is look easy for the most part.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
We spent a day cruising through the Suez Canal, which is now
Egypt’s #1 source of revenue after tourism took a dive with the revolution. It was definitely an experience. How crazy are canals? And Egypt has a monopoly with trading between
Eastern US/Europe and Asia. I think (and
this was hear say on the ship) that it is $1 million per boat (big boat/shipping boat) to go through the
canal. Crazy talk! </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It was super smooth sailing through the canal
as I am guessing that you don’t want to go fast and/or are restricted to a certain
speed limit. We went pretty slow and
there is not enough room to pass unless you are a little ship so not a lot of waves or action. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The cool thing for me was we sat
on our balcony most of the day and I took pictures of the military men on the
banks. Most of them were really happy to
see us…some of them danced, some ran to the tops of the hills to whistle and
wave to get our attention, and some didn't acknowledge our passing. What a boring job! Most had huge guns around their necks and
across their chest. It was so bizarre to
see these men decked out in their military uniforms in the desert heat without
protection or AC. It was super
hot!! We were in the shade and still had
to come inside to escape the heat. All
in all the Suez Canal was cool and I am glad we were able to experience it.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Our first 3 days at sea were spent traveling across the
Mediterranean. This for us was spent
catching up on sleep and resting to our hearts content.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We docked in Alexandria after being at sea for 3 days and I
was 1 excited girl to see land and Egypt at 5:30 in the morning. That energy soon depleted about an hour into
our bus ride to Cairo. We had a 2.5 hour
drive so Davis a little more than I both caught some shut eye while driving to
the Giza. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I felt like I had prepared myself for third world countries
as we were going to several on this cruise, but after seeing Egypt I now know
that one can NOT prepare themselves. You
have to see it in person to understand and fully comprehend how others live.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I can try to describe it to you, but it will not be the
whole picture because you cannot see the people’s faces nor see the buildings
or shacks that they call homes. You will
not see the significant trash problem and how rivers do not even look like
water for all the trash in them, instead they look like a landfill that you
could easily walk across. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The people fish in these polluted waters by sitting on the
piles of trash. There are roads that you
cannot drive on because of the amount of garbage. The kids play in the dirt surrounded by
trash. Most people do not have cars,
they travel by mules and flatbeds. They
have motorcycles that they load with 3 people.
You will see children riding in front of their parents on motorcycles
and not a single person is wearing a helmet.
Women carry everything on their heads.
The prayers happen 5 times a day and they are so loud that you can hear
them everywhere. The children were for
the most part so happy to see us. They
would run and wave with huge smiles with our bus as we would drive past
them. Smoking starts early as it did in
Europe. I said for the most part the
children were happy to see us because I was flipped off by at least 2 different
~7 year old boys. There were sheep on
the side of the road, not in fences just sitting by the side of a very busy
road. There were no traffic laws. You could drive on either side of the street
and there were definitely no traffic lights which meant there were no walk
signs so people would just walk in front of cars. And of course everyone is honking their
horns. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In Cairo, building were still burned from the
revolution. We went to the Egyptian
Museum and they didn’t have a gift shop because it was damaged during the
revolution. There were buildings half
built because everyone stopped buying property for fearing that the new
government would just take it away from them.
So developers had to stop projects half finished. There were vendors everywhere wanting to sell
you anything for $1, yes 1 US dollar for almost anything.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
On a good note, the pyramids were awesome. I had no idea they would be soooo big. I feel that in all the pictures I have ever
seen of them, you can see all 3 pyramids and the Sphinx so I was expecting them
to be so much closer together than they were.
They were super far apart, you wouldn't want to walk from one to the
other and this is because they are HUGE!!!
I don’t think you understand, they are massive! And over 4,000 years old, if this doesn't blow your mind…I don’t know what will! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
After visiting Giza, we went to Sa to view King Titus?? Tomb
and the step pyramid, then to the papyrus museum, then back to the pyramids for
a sound & light show which was cool in seeing the pyramids at night all lit
up but wasn’t awesome in it seemed like a PBS special from the 80’s. After doing all of this we were exhausted,
but the night was not over yet. No, then
we hop on a dinner cruise on the Nile with belly dancing and Whirling dervish – this was super impressive and I wish I had video but my camera was dead (you can see a youtube video <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A3UAVTiM9r4">here</a>)….battery dying = a
common theme of this trip (every day I took so many pictures that my camera was
dead by the end of the day). <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>

Then to a hotel to sleep for approximately 6 hours before
continuing our tour in Cairo by visiting King Ali’s mosque in the fortress,
which was absolutely stunning. The last
stop in Cairo was the Egyptian museum in Tahrir Square where the revolution
ended (kinda) earlier this year. The gift
shop was closed because of damage done during the revolution. The building next door to the museum was
completely burned and ruined. How sad
that they were so ahead of their time 4,000 years ago and are now so
behind. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The museum was awesome.
King Tut was the only tomb that had not been robbed by the tomb robbers
back in the day, which is why King Tut is so famous today. I had no idea this is the reason for his fame. I thought he was loved and the best king
ever, turns out he was just the only King that did a good job at hiding his
tomb. He was only approximately 19 years
old when he died and his tomb was insane.
I can’t fathom what the tomb robbers discovered in the popular king’s
tombs because King Tut was buried in multiple caskets inside multiple gold plated boxes
with multiple gold masks.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The museum also contained mummified animals of the kings, this
was crazy awesome. We saw dogs, cats,
birds, crocodiles (they did this because they were dangerous and prayed
for them to become nice), cows, horses, snakes, goats<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Most everything from his tomb are now in the Egyptian museum
which was crazy awesome to see. His
mummy is still in his tomb in the Valley of Kings, which I will talk about
later. Seeing a mummy is bizarre BTW!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Oh yeah, I should mention our security while traveling to
Cairo including a police escort along with a security guard on our bus with a
machine gun. Also, all the museums and
hotels have metal detectors. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I should also talk about the vendors and how they wanted
money for everything and anything. They
would ask if you wanted them to take a picture of you and would not give you
the camera back unless you paid. They
would say free camel rides and then make you pay to get off the camel. They would put books in your hands and then
ask for money. At the mosque, you had to
take off your shoes and they would put the shoe covers over your shoes as you
are trying to walk in and ask for money.
They were crazy, persistent, pushy, and always willing to make a
deal. Ultimately, they were nice if you
knew what you were doing.<o:p></o:p></div>

Nolan and Jonas had their first basketball game tonight. Yes, you can play or at least be on a team at 5 years old. I wish I could have been there, thanks mom for the video!

We only saw the airport and farm land flying
into Brussels, but now we can say we have been to Belgium for an hour. <br />

Great story about our flight, we were the last 2 people to check into our flight so on the way to the gate we were thinking there would be quite a few people...to our surprise we were the only people at the gate and our flight was departing in 40 minutes. Our flight looked like this...</div>

This would never happen in the states, it was a 737 with a total of maybe 17 people including the pilot and attendants.</div>

Flying into Barcelona is gorgeous. You fly over the Mediterranean and it is
absolutely breathtaking. The water is lined with cliffs and trees not houses.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Right from the beginning we liked Barcelona better than
Paris. Paris was great and is a great
place to visit however Barcelona is somewhere we could live. It was vibrant and full of life. There were people of all ages and
backgrounds. We felt more at home and familiar with the
city maybe that is because it slightly mist the whole time we were there. They spoke Spanish which is a familiar
language for us, we know way more Spanish than French however we are not even
close to being fluent.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Oh yeah, I should mentioned that why I am writing this post
I am cruising through the Suez Canal and it is unbelievable. We will get to this in a later post as
well. We just reached a major city and
people are whistling and waving like crazy.
It’s so nice to see people genuinely happy to see us. This comes later!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Back to Barcelona, once again we decided to do the hop on
hop off buses because in my opinion it is the best way to see a city when you
only have a short period of time and we only had 1.5 days to explore Barcelona
so hop on hop off it was.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We rode the bus for hours, it was nice to be on a bus when a
torrential downfall of rain decided to fall.
We saw Gaudi this and Gaudi that.
We have decided the Gaudi was crazy and apparently the only super
popular thing to come out of Barcelona.
We also saw the Olympic stadium, statue, and pool. The pool was super depressing because it was
on a hill that had a beautiful view of the city while sitting in the bleachers
however the pool did not look liked it had been used since 1996. It was a waste of beautiful space and I could
picture the crowds in 1996 loving the atmosphere and here it is 16 years later
dead. The craziest building I have seen
in my life was in Barcelona, it is the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sagrada_Fam%C3%ADlia">Sagrada Familia</a> designed by Gaudi and
still being built by completely anonymous donations and tours of the half way
done building. Who is paying for this?<br />
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
We also went the Guell park, which is Gaudi’s park and
neighborhood…you can read more <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Park_G%C3%BCell">here</a><o:p></o:p><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We went to both markets and had many delicious meals. I forgot to mention earlier that we did not
have dinner the entire time in Paris because we were too exhausted at night to
eat, all we wanted to do was sleep. So
dinners in Barcelona were almost a forgotten concept.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
First off let me start by telling you about First class
international treatment….it was awesome!!!
Not only do you have so much space, but you have more storage space than
we do in our house. Also, there were
only 12 seats in first class and there were at least 3 attendants! So, you should never have to push the call
button. We were served a 5 course meals
as courses, not like domestically where they bring one tray with everything on
it…in fact there are no trays, it was just like a restaurant including a menu
with a variety of choices. Lay flat beds
with a ton of entertainment options!! In
other words, it was the best flight ever!
However European business class is not awesome, it is just like our
economy seating except they do not sell the middle seat with the food of our
first class. So the food and service is
good, but there is absolutely no space!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Now to Paris – it was amazing and beautiful. The first day we walked and walked and walked
without having a clue as to what we were seeing. We walked around the Louvre and then down
Champs-Élysées<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We went back to the hotel for a nap around 5pm and that nap
turned into a full night’s sleep. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The next day we bought hop on hop off bus passes. This is a tour bus that guides you as you
ride on the history of the city and I must say this was a much better
attraction than the one in Barcelona but we will get to that later. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The second day we rode the bus all around and saw the
Louvre, Arc de Triumph, Notre Dame, Eiffel Tower, Place de la Concorde. Then we hopped off after 1 loop at the
Louvre. And can I say that this place
was amazing….seeing statues still in tact after hundreds of years, seeing the
Mona Lisa in person (this was actually a little bit of a let down considering
it’s not that great of a painting), it is only so famous because it has been
stolen or attempted to steal several times.
As amazing as the Louvre was it does not compare the what comes later in
Egypt. There were so many awesome things
at the Louvre, I can’t see how anyone can go there and not be inspired. The kids being raised in the city and going
there for field trips have no idea how lucky they are, but one day they will
realize.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The third day we once again got on the bus, this time we
toured the Redlight district and Moulin Rouge which was also not as beautiful
as the movie made it, but still awesome to see.
We also got off the bus and toured Notre Dame, what an incredible
place! It is huge and so old and beautiful,
how did they build such amazing structures back then? How could they afford it? I want my house to look like the Louvre, but
it is just not possible nowadays.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The evening was spent watching the sunset at the Eiffel
Tower with Champagne. What a fabulous
and perfect ending to our time in Paris.
The Eiffel tower is an amazing structure and was the tallest in the
world when built in 1889 surpassing the tallest structure for thousands
of years…can you guess? The Giza Pyramid
which we will later see. The Burj Khalifa in Dubai
surpassed in 2009 which we will later see as well. It’s almost like we are on a world tour to
see the tallest buildings.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
To sum up Paris….it was a gorgeous city with many beautiful
and fascinating artifacts!<o:p></o:p></div>

I participated in both of these shows last year and had a blast while also scoring some great deals so of course when I was asked again this year, I said yes! They both were hugely successful and I had a great time working with Carly and Tina. I once again scored some very awesome deals even better than last year!!<br />
<br />
The last picture is of the line out the door and around the corner for fashion show number 1, needless to say there were a lot of people there. The second show sold out last year so they changed venues this year to hold more people. I am not sure of the final headcount, but we definitely raised more money this year!<div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjznMEVBN27hFQG-8VcpmYMJxjtAr0NVDXHa6WymRFqSpUzsN_5dYxJhSxAzgcLZGB-DJZf36MuwwhfVcwQG6sWS4G1x4Nq_Gf3BmBkJVTsz7BZI2rSLdnzqXM_IV1uVKOOKS0HRUQb3eZ/s640/blogger-image-1205401451.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjznMEVBN27hFQG-8VcpmYMJxjtAr0NVDXHa6WymRFqSpUzsN_5dYxJhSxAzgcLZGB-DJZf36MuwwhfVcwQG6sWS4G1x4Nq_Gf3BmBkJVTsz7BZI2rSLdnzqXM_IV1uVKOOKS0HRUQb3eZ/s640/blogger-image-1205401451.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAKk31uAEB_Z4lGEVdgiPgIILpqCF7RxwMi_lMUGnmISX5rCUMlKNtndUUzgXA5WwETaKcJSupZR9YsPEC060ZiqoCkzJ0ETfghNPFKOGd2jIrG8MqckG8kWnZrzME5MgsWsyuTmMQ93Aq/s640/blogger-image-1281479493.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAKk31uAEB_Z4lGEVdgiPgIILpqCF7RxwMi_lMUGnmISX5rCUMlKNtndUUzgXA5WwETaKcJSupZR9YsPEC060ZiqoCkzJ0ETfghNPFKOGd2jIrG8MqckG8kWnZrzME5MgsWsyuTmMQ93Aq/s640/blogger-image-1281479493.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVtEGgLagd0ifwO5z2LrsKsx714dZoE_Zsdk2AxtR59CiOYVm14v6ptWBflLc83PHBr0SmzmrwsFfCOiNisXblmX8xrGU0iU3T5Yc-kcGiPvMUDfkpbMC1bMdPnQfpOJfhmalJ0mqHmd4R/s640/blogger-image--1624131717.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVtEGgLagd0ifwO5z2LrsKsx714dZoE_Zsdk2AxtR59CiOYVm14v6ptWBflLc83PHBr0SmzmrwsFfCOiNisXblmX8xrGU0iU3T5Yc-kcGiPvMUDfkpbMC1bMdPnQfpOJfhmalJ0mqHmd4R/s640/blogger-image--1624131717.jpg" /></a></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15302546976751875128noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5813050038019041192.post-16757910936536954572012-10-15T05:26:00.001-07:002012-10-15T13:40:49.720-07:0010 YEARS?!?I cannot believe it has been 10 years since my senior year of high school, but it has! We kicked off this school year with being recognized at this year's homecoming football game. We will continue to celebrate our 10th year out of high school in May with a family fun day followed by an evening meal and drinks.<br />
<br />
After the football game, we headed to a schoolmate's house for karaoke, dancing, and ping-pong. We had a great time!! We are lucky, a significant percent of our class (87 people) are awesomely cool.<br />
<br />
Thanks to everyone who made it out and I can't wait to see more people in May :)<div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjj5BsZixNgko92R3CfWv5n2S5uB1kgi9aV7ztmnAboLFaPUZzffb64rT3o4I8RmZaJ_EOXCBXzSKn5RYbJmlSd7PjwPM6cf7F3NXEYTsG1wDau8ByLlkuragM9VjS__uGu6yR982WBHCMV/s640/blogger-image-992732190.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjj5BsZixNgko92R3CfWv5n2S5uB1kgi9aV7ztmnAboLFaPUZzffb64rT3o4I8RmZaJ_EOXCBXzSKn5RYbJmlSd7PjwPM6cf7F3NXEYTsG1wDau8ByLlkuragM9VjS__uGu6yR982WBHCMV/s640/blogger-image-992732190.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpGjCc0d_sgYO2I9BmUtFOQ5FKaGZadxvGfIU7h02vGPwv7OKJAhmhAZPm8XXVgjehQ5Na3W31C_aAGEzLligLO2QtuxWXZs-8rKKAnSpQCu9IQVD_xQIlIN_c6dUEugpNSKx3ibj1x2Cb/s640/blogger-image-984516227.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpGjCc0d_sgYO2I9BmUtFOQ5FKaGZadxvGfIU7h02vGPwv7OKJAhmhAZPm8XXVgjehQ5Na3W31C_aAGEzLligLO2QtuxWXZs-8rKKAnSpQCu9IQVD_xQIlIN_c6dUEugpNSKx3ibj1x2Cb/s640/blogger-image-984516227.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1zFNx-u4URJC8AFYLrkmQw6Ah5SGII5h3xtpg7hiLXaLVN_jvwTn5NbgsZi8lm-1opXtAUYxowyYTvPXFda-HuZyftfRRuDEx6KIGTrel8cwaTN5WQFt4xQigb-d_b36uz2rawsy0h4qd/s640/blogger-image-1537645280.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1zFNx-u4URJC8AFYLrkmQw6Ah5SGII5h3xtpg7hiLXaLVN_jvwTn5NbgsZi8lm-1opXtAUYxowyYTvPXFda-HuZyftfRRuDEx6KIGTrel8cwaTN5WQFt4xQigb-d_b36uz2rawsy0h4qd/s640/blogger-image-1537645280.jpg" /></a></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15302546976751875128noreply@blogger.com0
