This past Thursday we were invited to an event at Universal Studios - featuring long time actress Betty White (90 years young and looking great!). She was there to receive the "Who-Manitarian of the Year" award - a play on words tied into the holiday season and the Christmas Grinch.

Possible Himalayan Trek to Sikkim
I've been to India several times already; earlier this year I secured a 10 year multiple entry visa, for more exploring within this amazing country.

Zurich Honeymoon, Guest Post
I proposed after 3 wonderful years together. Yeah for me, right? Of course it is, but... I think I may have dug myself into a hole.
