*** China Disclaimer***

Just wanted everyone to know...I REALLY enjoyed my trip to China....I mean, Aside from the 70 hour trip home, the dehydration, and severe puking...it was really great! I had a lot of weird, crazy, unusual experiences...but for me, that's where the fun lies! So, as I blog on about the rest of my trip...just know, I'M REALLY GLAD I WENT!!!

I figured you enjoyed your trip.
I mean, come on, it's China!
And I love hearing about all the highs and lows.

And we are so going to China when the guys go to Russia.
I'll talk to the grandparents once the guys start booking their trip.
Ooh, we could do a Europe tour while the boys focus on Russia.
We might even be able to spend a couple days together in London or Paris.
But then again, it's all about the shopping.
Hey, speaking of shopping...
We could visit the Philippines.
I have family there (my SIL, Aira, is from there). And you saw some of the awesome accessories she sent from there.
We could so go.
And have people who could take us places.
Just a thought.
I guess we're just going to have to shop all over the world!

But now that I think of it, couldn't we just save the $ from airfare, etc and go shopping in the US.
Ooh, ooh!
We'll check ourselves into some luxurious spa. Get pampered. Go shopping. Get pampered some more.
Definitely an option.
Then we won't have to worry about language barriers, foreign illnesses, etc.

Whadya think?

Unfortunately, I think we're going to have to wait a few years to finance our shopping/pampering trip(s).
Should we shoot for 3 years from now?

3 years is totally doable if we have a budget.
First we need the destination. We'll weigh in all the factors (budget being key).
Perhaps we'll find a great day spa near family or friends (or ourselves), which could save on the housing costs.
Then there's the activities: shopping, pampering, shopping, pampering, fun, fun, fun (aka shopping & pampering).
We could get massages, facials, gommage, pedis & manis, makeup consultations, makeovers, etc.

You know, since our budgets are going to be tight for a while, let's do a local type of thing to cut down on costs.
Though in order to play together, one of us will need to fly across the country.
Hmm... probably me (with kiddos).
Then I could have my parents (and/or in-laws) watch my kids, which would give me the chance to have some grown-up girl playtime.
I'm really warming up to this idea.
Know any good spas near you? Or in CA or Vegas?
Ooh, Vegas.
I bet there's tons of stuff out there.
What do you think?
