My first time leaving Morocco in 9 months was to visit my boyfriend and his family in Ireland for the holidays. It was wonderful to have a break from work for awhile and be surrounded by lots of Christmas cheer! I got warm meals cooked for me, chai tea lattes made with soy milk, the chance to see The Hobbit in theaters, broccoli, beer, karaoke, and plenty of hugs and kisses (tmi?). All in all, it was pretty perfect and just what I needed!
