Still a work in process with many many blogs and travels to fill in but these are my misadventures over the years… with many family and friends living outside of Los Angeles I often find myself on the road. Add to that my love of adventure and you can see where sometimes I may get myself into trouble… Turns out the latest in the line of many would be the weekly dive bar even in Lake Havasu! But these are my travel ramblings. Mostly they are just stories about places, sometimes about people (more often than not the include an ex or two). Often it’s just pictures (because in some places of the world only an actual picture can do it justice!). Or even just reviews They include infamous Best of Lists. And sometimes they are just my friends travels to visit me. But pour yourself a glass of wine, open up my favorite porn (guidebooks- get your mind out of the gutter!) and join me on one of the many trips…

Monkeys jumping on my bed!

Over the years people have to come to know my currents and ex’s, almost as intimately as I have, through my blogs… they have their favorites, the ones they hate, the ones they root for. And since more often than not I’m complaining about an ex, I thought I’d share the current ex that is amusing me the most- Mr. X, of course. Now he’s been in India for a week and a half, and as a joke I asked him to bring me back a monkey. In fact have told him that the only way that he will find his way back into my bedroom when he returns from India will be if he brings me that said monkey… and so last week the pictures of Monkeys began. And I have to say I get a smile on my face when once a day I get new pictures of monkey… so I thought I would share with you my favorite pictures so that maybe you too can have a smile on your face (the best is the one where you can see him also taking the picture on his I-phone and it looks like the monkey’s about to attack him!)

Enjoy my monkeys!

Don't always judge a book by it's cover...

When everyone thinks of Havasu what they think of is an endless party filled with topless girls, orgies, stripper poles and Copper Canyon... what they don't see is the beauty of the place. It has the most amazing sunsets and equally amazing sunrises if you can get up early enough to see one. There is something about the mix of blue water and red mountains all around it that makes it just breath taking. This was my favorite spot in all of Havasu. It's a 20 minute hike to get here from the Estuary but worth it. Sometimes you find what you are looking for in the place that you least expected it. The trick is to just let go of any expectations, any ideas of what you want, any plans you have and learn to just appreciate what is in front of you. Because sometimes you may just be surprised what you find when you go a little bit off your well beaten path!
Here is my little spot of paradise in the middle of chaos...
