Last night I was struggling with Delta.com to use my mileage to go visit my best friend in Italy. I bought enough mileage for round trip (60,000) to Italy from Boston but what I really didn't realize was the choice was narrow.
I was able to find good timing on the way but on the way back there was 18 hours lay over in Amsterdam on 12/31 which means I have to stay somewhere in Amsterdam by myself and party with super happy Dutch people and be happy on new years eve...
I thought that image is kind of wild so I decided to pay for tickets instead of using the mileage this time. May be I will use it next year!
I am going there from 12/26-1/1.
I really really wanted to go to my friend's wedding in Malaysia (she is a keyboard player for Beyonce) before Italy but the timing and job didn't work out so I had to give up on that trip.... Very sad.....
But at least I got this trip straight!!!
No husband nor dog are with me.
I asked him to come with me many many times but he seems to like his home and dog better than traveling around the world....
But it's OK. We are married about 6 years. Nothing can fade our love at this point : D
My best friend who I have been her best friend since we were 17 years old.
People sometimes say I have accomplished a lot but compare to this friend, I am absolutely nothing!
She is just the most talented, smartest and kindest person I have ever met in my life and she always makes me realize that I can do more!
She told me while I am in Italy, I am going to stay at some castle with Japanese consulate general and some Italian royal person who owns that castle.
Here's the link to the castle!

Also my another best friend who is a guitar player for Herbie Hancock is in Italy while I am there so I will go see his concert on 12/30.
My friend's name is

have fun!
aww, Juri you will have so much fun! Is this the friend who you were going to try to visit when you came to see us in England? I am so happy you can go see her!
Amsterdam is very fun - we loved it. It's very beautiful. But I can see why you wouldn't want to be there on your own on New Year's Eve.
Have a wonderful trip!
