A Small Recap

Aside from the TERRIBLE part of my vacation, it was SO MUCH FUN. I would really love to go back to the Alicante area in the summer because you can just tell that it is amazing- - beaches, booze, and sun! The whole time we were there I never really got on their time (which actually turned out to be okay) so I ended up going to bed between 4-6am and sleeping until 11 or noon. (In case you haven't been paying attention, my normal sleeping schedule is 9pm-5am.) I never took a spring break in college because we always went to Hilton Head, SC for tennis- - and I LOVE Hilton Head, but those of you who've been there know it's not exactly full of the crazy spring break activities you hoped for when you were 18 (not that we didn't create enough crazy of our own...)- -but I more than made of for it on this trip.

We ate dinner around 9pm because we waited for our friend to get out of practice then we'd go out for the rest of the night! It was more crazy than I have (really EVER) been in my entire life, but it was so worth it. One night a bartender offered us shots of absinthe...Hey, "When in Spain..."

Karaoke de Espana

Since we had some time to practice our karaoke skills before we left for the trip, when we happened upon a Spanish karaoke bar (Feelings) in Alicante we couldn't resist. We, of course, picked the only song that can be sung as a group karaoke song once you've seen Coyote Ugly- - I Will Survive- - and we did- - barely. :)

(PJ- please notice the looks on our faces, I put this in just for you)

Also, I take no responsibility for the skirt/ugg combination. They wore them against my recommendation.

This whole breakup thing will get easier... right?

Still in Spain

Hi all,

I hope your new year is off to an amazing start. Mine should be as I'm in Spain, but... well... it's not. I will share when I get back and I'll be needing a little extra support from my blogland buddies...

Adios.

Holiday Vacation

I have booked my holiday vacation! For 12 glorious days in December/January my sisters, my boyfriend and myself will be traveling to SPAIN! We'll be staying here:

it will, of course, be the middle of winter and a little chilly there, but who cares? I've always wanted to go to Spain and I cannot wait! My friend is living in Alicante currently where he plays professional basketball so we'll be staying with him and catching a couple of games. I'm also hoping to visit Ibiza and Mallorca for a day or two. It should be really quiet around Alicante at this time, so I'm hoping that we'll get to do EVERYTHING without dealing with lots of tourists... well, except ourselves I suppose. :)

We all speak spanish fairly well and my boyfriend speaks it fluently- - I know I'll pick it right up when I'm over there. (When I was in the D.R. for three weeks in high school I started to think in Spanish instead of English.) Practice makes perfect!

If anyone has any suggestions of places to visit, I'd love to hear them!
