I am craving the warm sun, warm weather activities, and a nice sandy beach. These photos were taken in Santorini, Greece. Kayaking along the southern coast and seeing the 3 types of sandy beaches was AMAZING!

We travelled to Belgium Oct. 23-26, 2014 visiting Brussels and Bruges. Though it is absolutely gorgeous there, we could've spent less time there and visited another city. From Oct. 31-Nov. 3, we visited Rome, Italy. What a glorious city. The museums in Vatican City were closed during the dates we were there due to a holy holiday, but it definitely didn't lack in the department of "things to do." One of my fondest memories was of the meal we had at Grazia & Graziella in Trastevere section of Rome. Outdoor seating, delicious food, and pleasant company are the ingredients to making a 45 min meal into a 2 hr meal. I hope to see you soon Italy. Ciao!

Charlie and I spent our 2nd Anniversary weekend in beautiful Greece. We took in the views, kayaked and hiked. The weather was particularly nice for October. Being almost 17 weeks pregnant did make traveling the terrain more difficult than I would’ve liked, but what an experience! We kayaked about 6 miles back and forth along the southern coast of Santorini and snorkeled the beautiful black beaches. The following day we hiked from Oia to Imerovigli. Up and down we went on the hills of Santorini. This was probably the most exhausting since the sun was hot and the terrain was unforgiving. Thank goodness Charlie is so patient and encouraging. He also lugged the heavy 1.5 L of water in his backpack :-p which btw we demolished. We made our way to Athens for a quick sightseeing trip before we headed back to London. Even the ruins look majestic! Finally we are back in London and I am resting my butt on the couch. I love traveling but am I glad to be back home!

Baby Ngo @ 10 wks + 5 days. Estimated due date has been moved up 3 days to March 15, 2015. So I took the Harmony blood test today. In 2 wks, we will know the gender of Baby Ngo and also if the pregnancy is high risk. Seeing our baby today was super exciting. To see the little peanut sized fetus had grown to the size of a kumquat and also the tiny fingers on the tiny arms, what a sight! This weekend, Charlie and I will make our ways to Berlin. Time to bust out the support stockings.

Our adventure in London begins now! So this is our humble flat on Crispin street :) perfect size for the two of us. It came fully furnished. Though there is no central air, the weather here is between 55-68 all the time, so we leave the windows open and voila! Also, we got very lucky because the housekeepers come every week to clean :D Everything is nearby, such as, markets, public transit, restaurants and historical sites. A quick hop on the Underground (London's subway) and you can go practically anywhere. Charlie has started his new position this week. It's about a 15 min walk from our flat. On the way is Leadenhall, where Harry Potter has been filmed on several occasions. We would have been excited if we knew this fact before we stumbled across it on accident the other day. We have established a bank account, which seemed necessary to purchase items online and etc. The bank only needed my passport, proof of residence in the UK and the addresses of my residences for the past 2 yrs. Quite painless. Oh but you do have to set an appointment to get this process going. And btw, it will be useful to have an unlocked phone when coming to the UK. So all you have to do is purchase a SIM card and a monthly/pay-as-you-go plan. We went to 3mobile and purchased ours there and had the phone sorted out in the same day. Otherwise, if your phone isn't unlocked, then you need to call your current phone provider before coming to the UK and get an international plan set up. A useful app that Charlie and I have been using to connect with people back home is Viber. It allows you to make free phone calls and send texts through the app by utilizing wifi. One difficulty I have encountered was finding an Obstetrician. I did have the common sense to bring my medical records from the states which made things a little easier and allowed me to avoid a repetition of tests. So if you will be in the UK or wherever for an extended period of time, get a copy of your medical records. Anyways, find the provider through your health insurance website and contact the OB directly. They will be able to connect you with the right people to set up appointments and what not. Also, find out the processes to get your insurance claim rolling. Aetna needs notification almost 5 days before your first appointment, but I don't think this policy is very strict. Charlie and I went to my first OB consultation this Wednesday evening. Success! Time to find a Market that sells Asian condiments and food items.

And to think, this is just the beginning... 

By far my most favorite look. Blunt bangs, long layers and a dress in construction cone orange. And what better way to flaunt it than in Vegas.
