How I said at the end of my previous post that I was already on another airplane. Well, that was not an exaggeration. I was, in fact, on a plane to Minnesota. Why? I honestly have no idea. I don’t know if you are all aware, but my sister is a flight attendant. I know … Continue reading Do You Want to Come to Minnesota?
Travel
Bonne Année !
Une semaine dans l’île de Martinique n’est pas assez. Fran and I were in Martinque for a total of seven days. Well, actually really only 5 1/2 because two of them were travel days and we couldn’t do much.

Belgium is known for four things (aside from technically being the capitol of Europe) 1.Beer, 2. Chocolate, 3.Fries, and 4.Waffles. So, … Continue reading Fries and Beer
