OH my word!!! How fun and yes, retro! We saw a TON of Pinocchio statues in the little town and a giant 20 foot one on the road leading out of the village. Hedge mazes are fun. but always remind me of The Shining! LOL!!

Nope, he's #4 and lives near me in Kentucky (when I'm actually there). Anara is the youngest. Heh, we did it when lots of other stuff was open, but it was too $$ we needed a fast, familiar fix, or was just convenient. Just a little. ;) Yep. Apparently, there was some legal reasons they did...

I was! I'd forgotten that visiting a more rural location includes early morning wake up calls. Yeah, half naked was... odd. He was making business calls which added another layer of weird. Oh sure, why not! Speaking of which... This is some concerning news...

What a fun recap of what sounds like an amazing visit to Tuscany. I would LOVE to go again someday for sure! It's so peaceful and beautiful! That must have been quite something to stay in a very small village and enjoy is quaintness. Nope, in fact, nowadays the AC is actually regulated and...

Slowly but surely (after this time off barrage) I'll get 'er done. LOTS coming up, including some beautiful photography from Bali! I loved visiting Niagara Falls. I've been there a few times over the years and love it there. I'd love to see pix of your cottage! Where is it? And.... I'm...

I do too. Life is just WAY too busy right now to be here much at all. :( BUT school will be over soon and maybe things will fall into more predictable a pattern for me and I can start reading other folks' TRs again too. You actually went to the Pinocchio PARK!?! NICE! I don't know a single...

Aww, thanks! I loved that dress too. I don't think I got a photo of it but the back is a full lace up adding such a fun style to it.

Thanks, Caroline! It was truly a beautiful event and I was so happy I could go and enjoy the day with them and meet her new family. I'm still waiting for her to send any of the official shots.

It was so over-the-top. I think what she got for what she paid (and I don't know really what that is) was a really nice wedding... far more than she could have gotten here for sure. A wedding on a beach sure was dreamy!! Yeah, oy! What a difference a day makes.... ;)

LOL!!! Yeah, I get that.... dumb phones! ;) It was a happy day, for as beautiful as it was, it was honestly pretty low key too. There was still time to lounge by the pool, enjoy the yummy foods/meals, and everyone was just walking around the resort meeting each other and relaxing. Thanks so...

G is for: Grand Gala! By 3:00 when the family did their photo session, most of the beach venue was set up. To say the least it was stunning! There were far more fresh flowers that I’d have ever expected, tons of tropical touches like bamboo baskets for light fixtures over the reception area...

It was a busy day to be sure! But definitely interspersed with some relaxation too. The morning was pretty chill for me until hair/makeup time. I have 2 left to get married, but doubt either, or at least one, will ever. And that's ok!! :)

I'm super glad you're here and said hello!! It's just way more fun to make friends along the way and know that it's something people are even interested in. :) I gotta be honest, and I'll do a more thorough opinion part after the wedding, but it was a little tougher in the Philippines. There...

Thanks! I love that dress! Simple is really nice too! I've been to many smaller weddings and they are so nice. I don't think Mik had much control over the size, and the dollar went a long, long way over there, so it was like WAY more "everything" that even she thought it was going to be...

And I'm so glad you came out of hiding to say howdy!! Always nice to see you! I'm positive you've read at least a couple of my reports, maybe even the Africa one? And I think you're right... maybe my first nursing school one. Those were the DIS days when there was a LOT more fun day to day...

WOW! You got around there! :welcome::welcome::welcome: to the trip report; I hope you'll pop in often and join in the chatter. :) I just didn't have enough time to see more of it unfortunately.

Hi there, Judy! Thanks for checking in! How are you? It was really a very lovely place and they made it so gorgeous for the beach ceremony!

I wonder if it's EVER snowed in the Philippines. Shut up. :lmao: Huh, now that you mention it, I never saw a Mex place in the Philippines, and not until I got to Bali. Sometimes you just gotta have something right now. And that's what there is. More at some point.... LOL!! Good point...

Not to spoil.... but this was just the beginning... Haha. Yeah, just l like that! That's a great way to describe that "WTH?!" feeling! It's a fun word that I use whenever I possibly can! They should have a tuk-tuk/trike option! I think it's my favorite from the ones I got of them. It's a...
