THE NEXT BIG TRIP

THE NEXT BIG TRIP: MISSION COMPLETED

 May 18 until August 16 was another adventure. With one best friend on each arm,

Christine Novak, Briana Maguire and I conquered South East Asia.

Trust me, it was epic, full of sun, beach, surfing, back packing, parties, and road trips!

    Hope you have the time of your life! As I have travelled to many different countries in my youth, I can only give you 2 “must remember always”. Travel in groups and being smart means being safe.
    You will be missed!
    Lov ya, Robin

  6. Wow, lots of wonderful experiences…and surprises, I see! I hope you were not one of the 50 that got Britney Spears’ Fever and shaved off your beautiful hair!!!
    Cannot wait to hear it all personally from you when you get back. I assume you have taken lots of pictures also.
    A few more of these types of trips and you will have covered the entire world…good for you Elena.
    Keep your spirits high…your fears low…and your heart open!
    Love xoxo

    Dear Elena,
    I have no words. I’m truly speechless. I love your e-mails and your stories. I had no idea how much I am going to miss you. Well, to be honest with you, ‘me missing you’, started with you growing up so quickly:) not only with you going on this wonderful trip. Ok, now I feel like sobbing a little ;) Give me a moment here…
    Stefano and I always talk about you, so in a way you are very close by. El just prepare yourself for all the kisses and hugs, we are waiting to give you:).
    Love you XOXOXO
    P.S. Julia says “Hi” and Lizzy says “my auntie El”

    WoW… is the least I can say!!! You are very inspiring and encourage me to follow through with my passion to travel the world. I am currently enrolled for the Summer 2010 voyage with SAS. However, I have considered switching to the fall voyage. There is a lot to consider with both voyages and reading your blogs only adds to the agony of making such a decision. For now I am set on the summer voyage but if you have any suggestion (your blogs are enough though) I would love to hear them. Looking forward to reading about your future endeavors.

    Have safe travels!!! And as I say… Go, See, Do!!!

    Carpe Diem
    Travis
