2012

Given my new found, post-MBA freedom, I thought it was time for a few of those horrid things called resolutions!
So, 2012 shall be filled with:

More roadtrips..
More fun & laughter..
More passport stamps..
More passion...
More cheesecake..
More time on the road (running that is)..
More silk sheets..
More good food...
More time at the gym..
 More time with friends..
Appreciating the small things in life.. like the rain and sleeping in!
 Here's to 2012!

Bliss on the Beach

After a long two years' of MBA, I decided that my Mom and I should head to the beach for a few days of chill time!  We popped off to the Merville Beach hotel, near Grand Baie, in Maritius for a few days on paradise.  I finished 3 books, a bottle of suncream and came back remarkably chilled!

Big in 'Nam

Gareth, Nicks, Iain and I recently returned from a whirlwind tour of Vietnam!  Such fun..

After 2 nights in Ho Chi Min City in the South exploring the Cu Chi tunnels, dodging scooters as we crossed the roads, eating pho and running up a drinks bill for 2 million dong; we hopped on a plane headed for Da Nang.  From Da Nang, we drove down to Hoi An to the gorgeous riverside houses.  In Hoi An, we explored the early morning markets, attended a cooking class with Chef Hong and sampled much of the local cuisine and beer!

From Hoi An we flew up to Hanoi, which was bustling and busy.  Far less scooters and far more dangerous to cross the road!  We headed out to Halong Bay for a night on a Junk Boat, which was a blissful reprieve from the hustle of Hanoi!  Upon returning to Hanoi, amidst burning buildings and the chaos of street vendors, we did manage to explore the old town, see a water puppet show and eat street food!
