Hong Kong Check-in

December 18, 2015 By Caroline Peterson 10 Comments

hong kong waterfront

Travel is not for the faint of heart, at least not this much travel. I’m currently at 38,000 feet flying to Hong Kong after spending a week in Australia and New Zealand. I get why people pay the big bucks for business class tickets (not that I did) because you arrive, typically, more refreshed. I […]

Thoughts Before I Embark on my First Solo Travel Trip

December 3, 2015 By Caroline Peterson 4 Comments

I woke up the other night in a panic. I was in my own bed, but the thoughts raced, “What am I going to do in this new city tomorrow?” The hubster has been has been away on a rural clinical rotation in the middle of Florida for 2 months. During the week, I’m sleeping […]

Canceling our Trip to Southeast Asia & How Things Will Get Better

July 3, 2015 By Caroline Peterson 15 Comments

I’m not sure where to begin, so I’ll just dive into the vulnerability pool. It’s been a whirlwind 6 days of emotionally epic proportions. Life has a freakishly maddening way of reminding you that you aren’t in control of anything…even a trip you’ve been planning for 6 months. It’s safe to say that medical school […]

Preparation and Excitement

June 11, 2015 By Caroline Peterson 3 Comments

They say preparing and anticipating for a trip is as exciting as the trip itself. I’m pretty sure TripAdvisor has some legitimate concerns about how often I’ve been logged in. Is there a TripAdvisor Intervention team? “Dear Caroline, Your addiction to TripAdvisor has affected my life negatively in the following ways…” These last few months have […]
