Filling my passport with family, travel and bliss

This past Friday marked Passport to Bliss’s One Year Blogaversary.

My how the time has flown, and it all started with this fledgling post.

I’ve had a blast writing about things that bring joy to my life – from travel to photography to design to fulfilling my dreams, and so much more!

I have to admit, though, that the greatest thing about starting a blog was getting to know so many of you in this wonderful blogging community!  It’s been such a pleasure, and I look forward to the year ahead!

Speaking of which…

Year 2 of Passport to Bliss is shaping up to be quite a treat! 

Coming up soon is a brand new header, more photo bliss & travel fun, turning 40 (Will I cross everything off my 39 Before 40 list?), more BzzAgent reviews, more Matador U Lessons, some surprises, a “mystery gift” giveaway,  &  3 big bliss happenings in my life that I’d love to share with you…but just not yet.

Well, I suppose I can reveal one of them.

Let’s see if you can guess from these clues:

Grass skirts & coconuts

If you guessed that this was my Halloween costume last year…sorry…you have not advanced to round 2…lol!

But if you did guess that we are hopping on a plane bound for the island paradises of Hawaii and Maui, then you, my friend, guessed correctly!

Rock Star status for you!

Yep, at the end of May, my hubby and I are going on a much needed vacation to paradise.  This will be our first island getaway as a married couple.

In preparation, I’m taking a swimming class.  Mind you, I know how to swim…kind of…if holding your nose counts.  😉  I want to be able to frolic under waterfalls and swing off of bamboo shoots (or branches…or whatever Tarzan used!) and release myself into crystal clear bodies of water with reckless abandon and an unheld nose…well, we’ll see.

AND…we’ll be staying at what appears to be some extremely unique and rustic island accommodations (discovered on AirBNB, of course!) that I can’t wait to experience and write about.   Is it unhealthy to bathe in mosquito repellent?

Until then, I want to thank anyone out there who has stopped by Passport to Bliss, left a comment, “liked” what they read or saw or just perused these pages.  The blog world is such a great community, and I’m happy and honored to be a part of it and to have made friends with so many of you.

Keep on filling your passports with bliss!
