Globetrotter Noob.

We love adventures... 

We're in the last month of the year, with all the plans, must dos, and fun stuff coming up, it got my noggin' thinking about what's to come next year... 

2012:  it's going to be a busy year. It marks a year of traveling outside of the country, finishing up my pre-requisites for graduate school, applying to graduate school, and who knows what else!! 

All of that is kind of a big deal.  It will be my first time owning, holding, and using a passport and with all of that, I'll be meeting a bunch load of my boyfriend's family...in the Phillipines!  It's exciting and overwhelming at the same time.  Will they like me?   We shall see.  Not only will we be visiting the Phillipines, but also Thailand, possibly Boracay, to go cliff diving here.   Oh, and lastly, Tahiti--all thanks to yours truly and winning miles via Hawaiian Airlines, we're thinking of this place: swoon!  And hopefully, make some time for our favorite place... 

I've done my fair share of traveling...within the United states: California, Washington, Idaho, Chicago, Nevada, Colorado, Minnesota, Florida (Walt Disney World to be specific), and numerous layovers in between.  But, going out of the country!!? Noob, I am!  And boy, am I excited! Even more exciting, since my boyfriend and I are pretty adventurous, I hope and expect our travels to be pretty...adventurous.  When he came to visit me in Hawai'i for a week, we went hiking 5 out of the 7 days he was there!

Now, don't get me wrong, 2011 has been a great year! 

It is the year I spent the most time with my sister, niece, and brother in law.  

It is the year I met the man I've been dreaming of, along with his awesome family!

It is the year I first went Las Vegas! *cheers*

It is the year that I've fallen back in love with Hawai'i, and have been even more thankful to my wonderful friends at home.  True friendships are similar to true love, when you know, you just know!

What has 2011 been  like for you? What is 2012 going to be like for you?  DO Share! =)
