I Have Returned
I’ve returned from my vacation and am trying to readjust myself to the normality of life again. After having a completely awesome vacation, it’s really hard to get back into the swing of things. And let me reiterate again, I had a super fantastic time.
Just to recap (for those of you who don’t know…I assumed everyone knew where I was going on vacation…yet people keep asking me), I flew out on the read-eye flight from San Francisco to Singapore with a layover in Hong Kong. From Singapore, I flew to Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam and then to Bangkok, Thailand. After Thailand, I jumped back on the plane and flew to London to take the train to Paris. I must interrupt here and say that I love Paris. Absolutely love it. From Paris, I took the train back to London and then flew back to San Francisco a few days later. I truly enjoyed my around-the-world experience. I had an amazing time. Someone sent me a survey to find out about my trip, and (everyone knows how much I love these stupid surveys) so I’ve posted it for everyone’s information.
Countries visited: Singapore, Vietnam, Thailand, Paris, London
Favorite place: Paris, France (hands down, no contest)
Least favorite place: Bangkok, Thailand (if I had to choose a place)
Favorite site: Eiffel Tower at sunset
Least favorite site: Bees and snakes
Favorite breakfast: A warm almond croissant
Favorite lunch: Salami and cheese panini
Favorite dinner: Too many choices…the Pad Thai I had in Thailand, the duck I ate in Paris, and the bangers and mash in London were all completely orgasmic
Favorite dessert: Crème Brulée
Most favorite memory: Kissing at the Eiffel Tower
Least favorite memory: Standing in the rain outside Westminster Abbey
Interesting factoid: Paris was hosting the 2007 Rugby World when I was there…so that was cool…rugby fever everywhere
Favorite picture: A picture of Ben and I relaxing on the grass in front of Sacré-Cœur in Paris
Least favorite picture: A blurry picture of pedestrian traffic on the way to the subway
Most expensive souvenir: The 2007 Rugby World Cup t-shirt I bought in Paris
What I miss the most from my vacation: The food
First thing I did when I returned home: Hugged my parents…then ate sushi
First person I saw: My parents
First person I talked to on the phone: Ben
Messages in my inbox when I returned: 438 in my work account, 743 in my gmail account, and 1092 in my yahoo account
For those of you anxious to see my vacation pictures, they will be posted soon. I’ve started reviewing some of them and realized that over the entire trip, I took over 2,000 pictures. So as you can imagine…it may take me awhile to get them ready for public viewing. So just be patient and bear with me.
That’s it for me.
