2 1/2 weeks to go!

Hello everyone! Just wanted to update the blog a little bit :) Things have been going so fast these last couple of weeks before my trip! Aaron's brother and his family were just in town, I went to the beach, and so many things are coming up before I leave. Somethings I'm looking forward to....

~Last kickball game
~Going to see Mama Mia in DC
~DC United vs. LA Galaxy (hellooooo Dave Beckham!)
~Canton bar crawl
~Stern BBQ
~Last day of work at the restaurant
~National's game

And between all that, I have to buy a new travel backpack, figure out what the heck I'm gonna pack in it, and buy whatever else I need for my trip. Lots to do, so little time! I'm getting anxious!! 2 1/2 more weeks!

Getting used to this blogging thing....

So the water in our area is all comtaminated due to a water main break - no work tonight! Woohoo - er, I need the money tho, oh well :)

I don't really know how to focus this blog, so it's just gonna be complete randomness - deal with it! One of the first things I wanted to share with everyone was this funny clip from the show "Big Brother UK." I love my sweets, but this Thai chick is crazy over freakin cookies! HAHA.

Asia update: I got some more info about where and what I'll be teaching in China. I'll be in Zhuhai which is in Southern China near Macau. Those of you who don't know what Macau is, it's basically the "Vegas" of Asia. I have a feeling much fun will be had there. I will be teaching kids ages 8-13 at a summer camp. It sounds like fun :) Also, just to give ya'll a heads up, here's my tenative itinerary:

• July 14: Shanghai


• July 17/18: Hangzhou


• July 19 - August 12: Zhuhai
  
• Hong Kong


• Macau


• Malaysia


• Vietnam


• Cambodia


• Laos
  
• Thailand
  

I'm pumped! And not to make you all jealous or anything... a little visual for where I'm headed this summer:

Hong Kong
Mui Ne, Vietnam
Macau Langkawai, Malaysia
Just a few places along the way I'm planning to visit :) It's starting to storm here, and I have to pack for VA Beach... so no updates for a few days. Peace ~Cara

The First Entry

I've been thinking about starting my own blog for the millionth time and decided to tonight. I love reading celebrity gossip blogs (http://www.dlisted.com/) as well as cooking blogs (http://www.cupcakeproject.com/), so why not start my own blog of randomess.

As most of my friends/fam know I am heading back to Asia in less than a month. I plan to blog here about my travels this summer. I tried to do a travel blog last year when I went to Asia and I only got one good entry - thanks to a shitty internet connection/computer at the school there. Hopefully I will be able to update regularly when I'm in Asia this year. I will be heading back to China to teach english at a summer camp and then I'll be heading to SE Asia. I'm excited to see what my travels will bring this year as well as how this blog will turn out :)
