The best thing about camping trips is that I don’t have to worry about ab workout or any other exercise. The whole camping trip is a gym to me. From loading the car, setting up camp to taking down the camp is a whole workout by itself. We also usually end up doing a lot of hiking and bicycling during the trip. We even did kayaking on one of the trips. But why am I still not losing any weight?
My little princess-crazed girl has been asking if we could go on Disney vacations soon. It is too bad we moved away from Florida when she was little. It would have been a lot cheaper to visit Disney World if we are Florida residents. Oh well, I guess we should start saving up if we are going to Disneyland sometime soon. I am really hoping to visit Disneyland end of this year but it all depends if I can earn enough money for the trip.
I love April! It is spring, the days are getting longer and mostly it is tulip season. I love tulips and every year I look forward to the tulip festival. Last year we did not go to the festival because the blooms were a little messed up due to the harsh winter. However this year we had a mild winter and so the blooms are gorgeous. Thousands of multi-colored tulips all lined up are just beautiful. Even the couple of dreary looking metal buildings look nice among the flowers. Here are a couple of photos. Don’t you think they look beautiful?
I love my vacation. The only thing I don’t like is the heat. Coupled with the fact that I have not been drinking enough water, I have been getting acne on my face. However thanks to my freckles, I usually don’t get too many. I really don’t know what the reason is but apparently if you have freckles, you will not have acne. True or false? I am not sure and I don’t really bother as long as I don’t have a major acne breakout, one that is severe enough to check out www.severeacne.org. But just in case, I better make sure that I start drinking plenty of water.
One more week to go! I can’t believe that our vacation is almost over. 3 weeks have flown by so quickly. Too bad that a lot of time were wasted on travelling between places or we might have had more time to spend with family. But I guess we’ll take whatever we can get. We did manage to spend a little time with family and ate a lot! I have forgotten how much people eat here but no one seems to gain weight except me! I am sure that when we get back, I will have to do intensive exercise else I will be looking for the best fat burner.
Tomorrow we will be moving on the second leg of our vacation. That means saying bye-bye to the current hotel that we have actually starting to really enjoy. Sure it is not a new york luxury hotel but it is located right smack in the middle of the shopping district of Singapore. So it was really convenient to just go shopping anytime. I am really going to miss this place. The next place that we are going will be in the suburbs and definitely not going to be so convenient anymore. Oh well, I guess I couldn’t stay here forever, right?
I love travelling but I don’t love the jet lag part of travelling. Since I am halfway across the world, the time zone is totally opposite of my place of departure. So for the first few days, we would walk around like zombies with dark eye circles because it was morning locally but our body still thinks that it was night. Usually it takes a few days to adjust to the time zone. So we usually try to take it easy the first few days just to get over the jet lag and I think we are almost over it now.
Hope everyone had a great Christmas. This year instead of spending Christmas at home, we spend it on a plane instead. We are actually on an extended vacation on the other end of the world. The flight was so long but we made it and so glad to be here. So far, we have been pig out and enjoy all the yummy local food. I haven’t even been online much, let alone checking for online life insurance rates that I was supposed to do before we left on our vacation. Oh well, I guess it can wait till after vacation. For the moment, I am just going to enjoy my vacation without even bothering with anything on my to do list.
I am so excited because I just booked our tickets for our Singapore trip!! It has been almost 2 years since I last went back. The last time we went back, Lil’ C was a little too young to enjoy a lot of stuff but now she is older, I think we will be able to expose her to a lot of new things that she has only read about in books. She will also be able to try out lots of interesting food. I can’t wait for her to try durian!! I am also contemplating making a side trip to Australia for her to check out the kangaroos, koalas and wombats. I am sure she will love that. But first I might have to go get some new Eagle Creek luggage because I think my current ones are pretty beat up already. I can’t wait to go on vacation.
I need a vacation! I was just checking out some orlando vacations and for a moment, I wished I was living in Florida again. It is only because it is so much cheaper to go to Disney World when you are a Florida resident. Unfortunately when we were living there, Lil’ C was way too young to be able to enjoy Disney World. Now that she is older and will totally enjoy a trip to Disney World, we are living across the other side of the country. A Disney vacation will be very expensive. Oh well, maybe if we start saving now, we might be able to afford a trip to Orlando next Christmas.
