{Vietnam & Cambodia: 1}

This year my partner and best friend of eight years decided to separate. Even though it was for the best, it was and has been excruciatingly painful for both of us. We're still friends and are trying to unravel ourselves from each other while limiting the damage we do to each other and ourselves in the process. One thing I wanted to do this year is travel, so I spent the months of December and January in Southeast Asia, doing tech editing remotely and re-connecting with three of my friends who are basically family to me. Here's the first round of pics.

{Wandering the Day Away}

When our Airbnb host asked us what we did yesterday, my sister and I looked at each other and said, "I don't know--we just walked around a lot."  Sometimes that's the best way to travel.  By the end of the night, we had found an unpretentious restaurant (Cafe El Punto) that served us the best mofongo we've had yet, along with plenty (read: too much) rum.

 

{Old San Juan}

My sister and I arrived safely in old San Juan on Friday, ready to enjoy some culture and heat.

 

 

 

{Island Getaway Wish List}

In a little over two weeks, I'll be in Old San Juan with my sister.  Here's a wish list I've gathered, which consists mostly of sales items.  Sun dresses are so much more fun to shop for than sweaters.
