Traveling while being Hon

I may have dropped my last name, but I haven't yet dropped the habits associated with it.

For one, I don't advise the last minute Hon scramble when traveling with an infant. This past trip to Jamaica, I worked as late as I possibly could and sped home in time to have 30 minutes to pack before we rushed out the door. Needless to say, I forgot more than a few necessities. It usually isn't a problem when traveling within the states, but you never know what other countries don't have or how inconvenient it is to find a convenience store (But at least this time we went to the right airport on the right day!)

After some ordeals this last trip (and in China), I'm now starting to put together an everything pack of necessities that will forever stay in my suitcase. No more paying off locals to drive into town to buy a pack of diapers.

Also in typical Hon fashion, I left my phone on the plane going there, and then my purse on the plane coming back. Thankfully, both times they were recovered...but not before Shobab nearly got arrested darting past security at the "No Re-entry" point at 2:30am.

And just so you know it's not just me, during our trip, my older brother was traveling through Thailand and messaged me this, "So um yea. Lost my phone. Putting it in LOST MODE, which means I need to put a contact phone number just in case it is found. I'm putting yours..."

Lol, probably not a good idea bro since I just lost mine twice.

Update: A message from bro this morning - 
"Things I lost in Thailand: ID, credit card, iPhone 6, other credit card, atm card, wad of cash"



And finally, some pics from Jamaica mon ;)
She LOVED the ocean! Kept trying to swim off on her own.
So awesome to have been able to spend the vacay with my mom and aunt! xoxo

At Dunn's River Falls lookin like some youngsters.
It was pretty darn cool to hike up the falls.


Nice fit babe. #tourist
