Happy Friday!!! We are leaving tomorrow for our Asian odyssey (and no, our transportation will not at any time resemble the above photo!) Visiting some of the biggest and most modern cities in the world may not seem very adventurous for many people, but when you consider a total of nearly fifty hours of flying time, seven different hotels in six cities and a language (and alphabet) barrier, I think this trip will adequately fill MY adventure quota for the year.

Today, I am packing…definitely NOT my favorite part of travel. Feel free to share any and all tips, but send them fast because by tomorrow morning, the suitcase will be zipped and ready to go!
While I am away, I have several special guest posts set up for your reading pleasure…you won’t want to miss a single one of these posts as the best and the brightest bloggers around will be pinch hitting for me.
Even though I have handed over the blog to these lovely ladies, I will be posting photos on Instagram. I do hope you will follow along with me!
In the meantime, here are a few things on my radar screen this week:

This isn’t photoshop…and here is the ad they created when the photos were taken.
Delicacies from around the world delivered to your doorstep…
This video of marble being extracted from a quarry in the Apuan Alps of Italy is fascinating.
If you are in NYC today and see a bunch of people wandering around with suitcases and wishful looks on their faces this is why…
Have a wonderful weekend, my friends…wherever YOU may be wandering…

WOW, Sandy! You are headed off to literally another WORLD! I remember when I went to Japan; I was so excited because I felt as if was escaping from earth. Enjoy the beautiful cultural treasures in language, art, architecture and every day life. BE WELL! Anita
Safe travels, sweet Sandy!!
Sandy,
Zip Loc bags help me when packing and "roll" everything as it takes up far less space in your suit-case.
Take one thing out of your bag before you leave for good luck!
Keep it simple! Have a wonderful safe trip!

Sounds adventurous to me, Sandy! Have a wonderful time. Can't wait to see your photos and hear all about it. Good luck with the packing. I'm THE WORST at that task, so my tips probably be much help. Have fun, be safe and take plenty of photos please! XOXO
Enjoy Sandy!!! Hope you have a blast!!!! Save some room in your luggage for shopping! HK is big on this!
You are going to have so much fun seeing all these places. But, I do not envy you with the long long long flight times. This is difficult, and getting your bearings after you arrive will require rest, & I know you know this.
I am terribly afraid of big bugs so I know I won't ever be travelling to the hinterlands of these countries. But, I am excited for you and will drool over the hotel photographs and of the street scenes. Take care!!!
Have a wonderful trip and can't wait to see the pictures on Instagram!

Wow two lucky winners will be plucked from the crowd!! How cool is that and how interesting that we will be going into the city today:)

Safe travels my travelling friend…see you on IG! 😉
Wishing you a wonderful trip, safe travels and amazing adventures!
I will be following along on every step via Instagram dear Sandy. What a fabulous adventure you have planned. Enjoy every moment and safe travels.
