Re: What Greece gave me

1) This is an awesome post and it makes me happy to hear what Greece was able to do for you. I've taken some of my biggest adventures for the same reason and I agree that travel can be one of the best things for the lost and brokenhearted.

2) I also agree that if everyone travelled, the world would be a lot less scary. If there is one thing I hope all people get a chance to do in their lives it's travel1

Re: Why the Dead Sea should be on your bucket list

"But I didn’t just float, I BOBBED to the surface like a catapulting beach ball. Like, rocketed. And then there was I suspended on the surface, looking for all the world like I weighed as much as a feather. I felt like I did."

That is crazy and amazing and OMG I want to try!

All I really want to do is go on a food and booze crawl at Disney. Is that so much to ask? #jealous

Re: It’s here! My 2014 reading challenge wrap-up

Sara Hamil — Tue, 06 Jan 2015 12:09:19 -0000

Ah ha ha, I'm glad to see someone else complain about the writing in Divergent. I enjoyed the series but I have the same complaint. Also really enjoyed The Ocean at the End of the Lane - have you read any more from him? My fave read of 2014: The Enchanted by Rene Denfeld. I want to recommend it to everyone but it's the type of book that some might find upsetting (this book contains subject matter that may be disturbing to some viewers... I mean, readers). Still amazing though.

Re: Kelowna: A Tale of Two Attractions (That Are Perfect For Thrill-Seekers!)

I've developed a fairly intense fear of heights over the last handful of years too, so I was a little worried about ziplining at first. But, I didn't want to let that fear hold me back so I threw myself into the experience. As you said: It was hella rewarding! In the end it wasn't scary at all! It's like going down a slide with a ridiculously great view :)

I hope you get the chance to try it out!

Which, when you think about it, is a pretty good argument for going back! ;)

I actually started to get sick JUST as an officer pulled into a parking spot directly in front of me. He didn't seem too bothered by it so I'm guessing it's not an offense, just incredibly embarrassing ;)

Luckily we had the comfiest bed on earth to crash in each night, but the fatigue was worth it to experience Vancouver! LOVE that city!

When I was younger I never experienced motion sickness but now I sure do and it's gotten worse as I've gotten older. I just got back from a trip to BC and while I was there I got mega carsick. The driver was going quickly down a winding road in the dark and I was in the backseat - not a good combo. I wound up having to get out and throw up... Right in front of a police station... In front of an officer. Good times!

I totally agree about Jen & Shawn - I think they could have been serious contenders if not for that shoulder injury :(
