August and September went by in such a flash that I can hardly believe It’s October already. I spent a lot of time with people I love and those who I hadn’t seen in almost a year! Even though I wrote while I was in Spain and Florida, let me break down my travels these past couple of months since it’s somehow now Fall and I haven’t written since Summer. Oops.

August

I wrapped up my time in Italy with the fabulous family I gained over the summer. Sadly, I had to say goodbye to them, and my Scottish friend Melanie.

Kurtis and I rekindled our love of Spain and all of their glorious food, beaches, and clubs on our two week holiday. We also were able to see my Catalan family from the previous summer on our last few days there.

Sadly, we ended our vacation on two different flights–his headed back to England, while mine went to sunny Florida!

September

Florida

 

Touchdown in Florida! Despite that messy little hurricane, which you can read about here, I saw most of my family for the first time since Christmas 2016.

NYC

After the Hurricane Irma craziness I headed to New York City, where I stayed with my best friend Katie and her awesome fiancee AND got to see some of my hooligans. We spent the weekend eating and drinking wayyyy too much, while somehow finding her the wedding dress of her dreams!

We also made it to a pajama party, wearing our nighties on the Staten Island Ferry.

Ithaca

A long bus trip took me back to Ithaca, where I was greeted by my parents, crazy friends, and two new brothers. And by brothers, I mean kittens! Behold Rocco and Francesco (my mom named them)

I spent the last bit of September catching up with my friends, eating my way through the delicacies in Ithaca (Thai, Cambodian, Wegmans, Creamery, Americana, Farmer’s Market), and soaking up the last days of summer.

England

An exhausting trip back to NYC, then to Manchester, and finally in Kingston Upon Hull, where I will be rooted until the winds of fate pick me up again–or I find a nicely priced flight somewhere else!

So there you have my crazy couple of months spent living out of a suitcase, but loving mostly every minute of it.
