fill in the blank friday

If you didn't know by now, these posts derive from Lauren, who just had a beautiful baby girl, Fern. Go check out her amazing birth story, it's so inspiring and certainly makes me want try a natural birth someday.

These are pretty much the perfect blanks to fill in this Friday for me, because Brian and I are in the final few weeks till we leave for California {where I grew up and where much of my family & friends still live}. Never mind about the 'few weeks', we only have 12 days to go!

1.   My favorite place I've ever traveled to is  England! Who could not love going over seas and seeing the amazing world of wonder. I also love Mexico because I've been there a few times with different people and loved all the amazing memories from those trips.

2.   Ireland, Greece, New Zealand, Germany, France, Italy  are some places I'd love to go someday.

3.   I pass the time on a place {or bus, or car tide or train} by  listening to music, writing in my journal, and mostly day-dreaming of what just happened or what is yet to come!

4.   My 3 must-haves when I travel are  a good book, my camera, 

5.   My favorite travel companion is  someone who knows me really well. That's why traveling with B will be so much fun.

6.   The craziest thing that ever happened to me while traveling is  I got stung by a jelly fish. Well 3 of them to be exact on 3 different days in Mexico!!  I guess they just loved me there. The 1st one was the worst, it stretched from my left wrist and wrapped around my arm up to my shoulder. The locals kept telling me to have someone pee on it, and I instantly thought of the friends episode. Anyone know which episode I'm talking about? Yeah, my friend Brittany and I gave each other one look, busted out laughing and just grabbed a bag of ice.

7.   The most exotic food I've ever tried while traveling is  a buffalo burger. That's about as exotic as I get sorry to disappoint, but I really don't have the urge to ingest weird food just to say that I did it.

8.   If I could live anywhere else, I'd live in  Ireland or England. I love the mix of cultures there and the quaint way of life, and that way I could still speak English.

9.   I have been to  38  states in the U.S.
