Gone are the days when hubby and I would travel only during the off-season to escape from the maddening crowds. The monsoons would be our preferred time to travel within India (the Indian countryside looks so beautiful, fresh and verdant during the monsoons) and September used to be ideal for international travel. Now though, with both boys in school, the only time that we can travel is when they have holidays. But Im so glad that they both enjoy travelling as much as we do, perhaps even more!
I was getting totally nostalgic and was going through all those pics when I thought of sharing some of my favourites with you. And since I love makeup, I thought it appropriate to start with this pic (this is me on my honeymoon!!!…lol)

| On the upper-most deck of the ship. Elder son was more interested in the sea than having his pic taken. And it was also extremely windy. |
There are hundreds and hundreds more pics of other places where we’ve travelled to and I had a tough time selecting just a few. Most of the pics also have hubby, kids, sometimes friends so of course those got eliminated.
Hope you enjoyed this post. It has brought back many memories for me….and i long to visit each place again!!!

Plus Singapore has Etude house- my dream!! It has amazing cosmetics. I wanna go there so bad. Did you go there on your trip?
No I didn’t 🙁 …once u have kids, the travel plans all revolve around what they would like to do. Though I did go to my two faves..Sephora @ Ion and Victoria’s Secret @ Sentosa among others 😉
Wow ! So you are a travel freak just like me! I have been to Swiss and many other places in Europe but never got a chance to go to Singapore, Thailand and Malaysia. Seeing your pic of Sing makes me wanna go there right now!
I too have loads of places in europe, africa, americas, asia still on my list. Hubby says he has no bucket travel list, his goal is to do all the places on my list 😉
Awesome clicks!!!
and you look great.. and the kids are cute :):)
