Happy Thanksgiving to my USA friends. To the rest

Happy Thanksgiving to my USA friends. To the rest of you, happy Thursday.

This is a complicated holiday that many of us were not accurately taught about growing up.

While there’s work to do there, I do think we should hold on to the part where we pause to acknowledge the things we’re grateful for. I’ll go first.

I’m grateful to still have a job that pays me well in a year that many cannot say the same, an affordable and safe place to live in LA which is no easy feat these days, a sweet dog who has been by my side for the good and bad for over a decade, a boyfriend who is fun as hell to be around, and not one but two families who love me despite the fact that I have chosen to live a rather unconventional life.

Your turn.

I was supposed to be in Hong Kong when this picture was taken. Instead, I’m sitting in front of this beautiful pyramid in Mexico.

It’s been a hell of a year folks. What do you think 2021 has in store for us? 🤔

Chichén Itzá was definitely my favorite destination this year (not that there were that many). This had been on my travel “to do” list for 15 years since learning about it in Art History class in college.

It was totally worth the wait. Now to figure out what’s next. 🤔

Have you been to Chichén Itzá?

I have to say, the beaches are beautiful, but my favorite part of my week in Cancun was the day trip I took to Chichén Itzá.

The ruins themselves are incredible to see in person, but I loved learning about the history of the area and the Mayan people.

If you go to Chichén Itzá, don't just go to get pictures of yourself. Get a few, then hire a guide to teach you about what you're looking at. It's fascinating.

What's the best beach you've ever been to?

Here are my top 3:
1. Red Frog Beach, (Bocas) Panama
2. Palm Beach, Aruba
3. Playa Ballenas, (Cancun) Mexico

Ratings based on water clarity, color, surf, temperature, and lack of annoyances (if you know what I mean). 😉

The Caribbean never disappoints. Treated myself

The Caribbean never disappoints.

Treated myself to a fancy hotel with a view while watching the US election results come in.

I figured if it was bad news, at least I'd be in paradise. 🤷‍♀️ Thankfully, it was wonderful news.

That day, you could feel the world collectively exhale in relief.

Like many of you I was moved to tears. I know there's so much work to be done in this country, but I think we all deserve a minute to celebrate. Cheers. 🥂
