It always makes me sad when it’s time for a new passport. I love my passport, my well-travelled passport. It has so many stamps and visas in it; my passport has even had pages added to it, TWICE! I’ve been all over Asia on this passport, and I hate to give it up. I become very attached to the pages of my passport. The new one is going to be way too clean. I guess that means it’s just time to start traveling again. My first trip will be to Bali; we’re going back to a place we’ve visited before but this time we’ll dive there instead of snorkeling.
Let’s take a browse through my old passport….
I wasn’t quite blogging about my style pursuits in Beijing, but there are plenty of family posts from when Kremb de la Kremb used to be the “family blog.” Take a look!
Here’s my post when I announce that Kremb de la Kremb might start taking a turn toward fashion blogging. It’s fair to say that six years later, it has definitely taken that turn!
On this old passport of mine, we’ve travelled to tons of beaches: Boracay and Bohol, Hua Hin and Phuket, Malaysia and Bali.
This is from a post entitled, Boracay Blues.
This was the grey sandy beach we’ll be returning to at the end of this month in Bali. (And this is long hair I hope to have again one day…)
Diving with my family is such fun! I can’t wait to get in the open water with them again real soon.
With this passport I lived in China for three years with my family, but since living in Hong Kong this passport brought us back to China on several occasions for travel. Ironically it has been easier to travel in China once we left the country. While living there it was always too expensive to travel within China. Beach destinations were always so much cheaper. During our Spring Break vacations we have experienced some adventure travel within China. For example, once we went all the way up to the real Shangri-La.
We danced to the beat of drums on rooftops.
Meandering the old streets in Lijiang was very special.
Temple visits in China are a must of course–as was increasing my photoshop abilities!
With this passport, I was able to travel back to magical India on four different occasions: three times I traveled for school trips to Rishikesh and the Ganges River, and once as a family we went to celebrate Christmas. During that Christmas trip we traveled for three weeks through all our old favorite Rajasthani destinations.
Of course I played MaharAnnie the entire trip!!
We also got so many great family pics from this trip. It was hard to determine which one to use as a Christmas card that in the end I never did send one out! Look at all the options, and you’ll see what I mean.
It’s too difficult to determine the best trip taken on this passport, but spending Christmas 2017 in Thailand with my sister and her family was magical!
And now for a new passport…
I hope it arrives in time for our trip to Bali at the start of this October. I can only hope that traveling on my new passport will be as plentiful and successful as it has been on this last one for the past ten years.
