Next: Road trip across the USA, to go back from whence I came. Yep, I am moving from Chicago back to Los Angeles, the city where I was born and raised. Los Angeles is entirely to blame for everything that I am.

I am envious of your travels and cannot wait to live vicariously through your blog while you’re in Europe!
thanks love!! that means a lot. I am praying for enough wifi during my trip to adequately update this thing!
I’m studying abroad in Scotland with the “boyf.” This is my first time living away from Georgia! Love your blog!
Hi Jackie!
I love your blog! You and I seem to have a lot in common! I’m quite jealous of your trip to Israel actually, that has been a dream of mine for a long time!
Daryl
I hope you make it there! It’s one of those places I never even really considered because I just assumed I’d never get lucky and/or brave enough to venture off towards the Middle East. And I love your blog as well madam! …as you know from the creepy e-mails I have sent you.
Once the unrest in Syria settles down, take a taxi from Amman to Damascus. It is the most enchanting city I have ever traveled to and would loved to have stayed a little longer.
Keep traveling. It works wonders for the soul.
