Almost here!



Tomorrow is day 1 of my around the world adventure: 3 states, plus 7 countries in 47 days! And yes, I have asked myself on multiple occasions, "What was I thinking?!?!" I'm 90% excited, 10% nervous (though to be honest the nervousness is mostly pertaining to my digestive health in India). ;)

Many people have asked how this adventure came about. Some companies do what's called a "round the world" trip which is essentially a series of one way tickets, working in free stopovers when possible. I knew I wanted to visit my family in Spain and a friend in Malaysia so I just decided to make a few stops in between! And for those of you that are curious (because I know many of want to know but are afraid to ask) the airfare cost $3000. No I did not rob a bank, or sell a kidney. It is just my ... um... "frugal" nature finally paying off.

Here's the breakdown of the trip:

June 23- 27 Michigan
June 27- July 4 Spain
July 4-8 Rome
July 8-10 Qatar
July 10-22 India/Nepal
July 22- Aug 1 Thailand/Malaysia
Aug 1-4 Hawaii
Aug 4-8 California

    First of all, Stella was purchased when Ford and Nissan were talking about merging so I will forever stand by my decision......
    Second, there are very strong differences between Thomball and what the rest of the world calls "dodgeball". I just can't think of any at this time. I hope you are having a great trip in spain and hopefully there was no shedding creepy guy on the plane this time.
    I love you lots, Alicia
    P.s. I really want to know more about the UFO!
