In reply to Scott. Indeed -- the winter blues have plagued me most of my life. Hence, I no longer "do" winter!

Wow, I know this is old news now, but I’m sorry to hear about your health scares and other lowlights. Hopefully by now in 2016 things have been sorted out for you!

I have suffered a bit with anxiety and depression somewhat as well, especially like you in the winter. So I can understand where you are coming from, and that even someone active, outgoing, bubbly and good-looking like yourself can be affected with these issues too 🙂

In reply to Ruth Warren. Thank you Ruth! I really appreciate that. I believe in living life too the fullest, and for me at this time that means as much travel as I can take :)

[…] Since I left home for my Great Escape, I’ve been doing monthly roundups of my adventures filled with anecdotes, private little moments, and thoughts that are found nowhere else on this blog. As this site is not just a resource for other travelers but also my own personal travel diary, I like to take some time to reflect on not just what I did, but how I felt. You can read my previous roundups here: Month 1, Month 2, Months 3 and 4, Month 5, Month 6, Month 7, Months 8 and 9, Month 10, Month 11, Month 12, Month 13, Months 14 and 15, Month 16, and Months 17 and 18.

In reply to Sasha. Thank you so much Sasha, so glad I can provide some entertainment :) And yes, I've definitely learned my lesson about early detection!

Hi Alex, sorry to hear about your scare. ..but good for you for going to the doctor immediately instead of trying to ignore it! Your posts keep me going during the boring office hours, keep them coming!

In reply to Rika | Cubicle Throwdown. Yeah, I can never really complain about being bored! I think I have an anti-relaxation gene deep inside me.... I can't sit still!

In reply to Sarah. Thanks Sarah :) They are somewhat of a self-serving endeavor, as I have a horrible memory and they help me remember the little things when I want to look back. I'm glad to hear both our scares ended happily and wow, what a coincidence! I'm glad I was able to get the news before I set off.

In reply to Olivia. I love them too, because they remind me to never complain my life is boring!
