Pre-Travel Travels

So obviously the thing to do before travelling to Ukraine for two years, is to travel as much as possible. The trip to Vegas with Vishal and Amith was awesome. It was my first time there and Vegas definitely lives up to its rep. The craps table treated me well and the Vegas buffet is a thing of beauty. The fact that I got carded AT LEAST 50 times was a little annoying, but whatev. And a note to everyone, the strippers are ridiculously cheap, and the two for one special might be the best deal in the country. Mind you, this is just for lapdances. One of us, may or may not have, umm, gotten more for his dollar... But he'll remain nameless.

And before leaving for the -25 degrees weather of Kiev, I figured a trip to the Caribbean was a necessity. So my sister, Safiye, my mom and I shot off to the Dominican Republic. The water there was beautiful and the all-inclusive resort, like the Vegas buffet, is a thing of beauty.

What isn't a thing of beauty if the fact that I get food poisoning EVERYWHERE I travel... Ironic that I'm going to a country where they LOVE to poison their president... Yea, I'm screwed.
