Hey Everyone! How I have missed you guys! As you know I’ve been on vacation in the U.S. since September 10th and as luck would have it, I have extended my initial one week trip, until October 10th! How awesome is that?
So far the trip has been a blast! I have been spending some time with one of my BFFs, have met awesome bloggers and authors and had tons of fun at the AAD weekend and I’m not sure yet how I’m going to bring home over 80 books! LOL
Before I flood you with pictures =P I want to give a couple of shout outs… First I want to thank Stella Price for making the AAD weekend such an amazing event!
and secondly I want to thank all the amazing ladies that were super awesome and took over my blog for over a week, while I had so much fun! You guys are incredible!
Don’t forget to check out their blogs guys:
Tanya from Among The Muses
Natalie from Mindful Musings
Terry from Romance in the Backseat
Danny from Bewitched Bookworms
Missie from The Unread Reader
Christine from Reading On The Dark Side
Now, How about I share some pics of the highlights of the trip so far?
This is me and Isabelle! One of my BFFs and someone I had not seen in 6 years! Sweet Reunion =)
Her little girl, Sophia, is one of the cutest kids I have ever seen! Isn’t she adorable??
More cuteness =P
My first day was pretty awesome! A quick car tour of NYC and then breakfast with Isabelle at a Dinner! Yum!
After that first week of just hanging out and checking things around Upstate NY, where Isabelle lives, it was time for me to go to The AAD weekend in Secaucus, NJ.
I met so many awesome people! Authors and Bloggers alike =)

I was even lucky enough to meet a couple of fans of my blog, how amazing is that! =)

Who can forget the awesome Masquerade fun?
After that amazing weekend, that I hope I can have repeated next year, I spent a week with Terry Kate from Romance in The Backseat =) It was great meeting her and we had some great fun together!
