Glasgow Star

I'm here for days like this.

About Me

I'm in that weird sorta space having just left my job of 4 and a half years. I feel like I've got a weight off my shoulders and actual opportunity ahead of me, but I'm really missing all the fun I had with all the awesome people I worked with for so long. Thank goodness for myspace I guess! Great news is that I will actually get to experience the perks of being in the real travel industry. 4 Star stays and Dubai trips all the way baby! (though I bet next year I end up in Chicago or something). I still have a delightful boy that I get to call mine, and we just celebrated 2 years together on July 16th...and I can't wait to celebrate every year with him for the rest of my life. One lotto ticket away from the engagement ring of my dreams. Lol.Myspace Layouts For Girls

Winter is past

     I found out yesterday that my grandfather passed away, so I'm off to Scotland a lot sooner than I had expected to be. It's difficult to explain how I feel right now. My grandp...

Travel Blog Day 1
