A letter to my future self

-
I was debating on whether or not to participate in today's prompt but after thinking about it for a while I decided to do so. It makes me feel like i'm back in school writing those "where do you see yourself in 5 or 10 years" assignments. 
Dear almost 36 year old Diana,  
      How's life? Are we still blogging, is that still a thing? I don't know where we'll be living 10 years from now, heck I don't even know where will be in January. But as long as we're all still in good health it's all good! I don't know if you will remember in ten years what your goals in 2014 were, so I'm going to remind you! 
     As you recall, we graduated from TecMilenio in 2012, two months before moving to Hamburg. Towards the end of the year I was working on finding a job (I had to reschedule the interview multiple times since I was in the hospital for appendicitis-remember that?) After my six month internship was over I started focusing more on learning German rather than finding another job. 
     I also found out I didn't have a work permit, we got that switched out when we went to renovate our visas, so I should really get to it and start the search. My current focus being finding a job in warehouse/logistics. Did I succeed? I hope you are were I see myself in 10 years (as a high ranking executive and doing very good) and that you are happy with your job.
      Another goal of mine is to have a Masters degree, I haven't looked into it, but I hope I'm able to take advantage of our time in Germany to get one. Maybe afterwards I decide I also want to get a PHD, who knows! I just hope that by 35 I have a Masters degree and (depending on what I do for a living) maybe even a PhD.
      Lastly, let's talk a bit about family. I've always wanted a big family and Avi has been asking for a sibling for a while now. Where are we on that? I hope we were able to give her at least one sibling, did Pablo give in? He's the only one who keeps saying 'not yet' I hope I was able to convince him of having more kids!  :)
Love always,
Me. 

And so yeah, that's my letter to me. I wonder how different or similar mine is to everyone else's? I'll go check them out, and if you'd like you can also join in with Helene and Tay for this Blogtober14 challenge!

     Hi Everyone! it's been a while since i posted anything to my blog, and i opened blogger today and found a couple of drafts, this one I had done as a guest post on a friends blog and figured I'd post it here to! Have you been following along on instagram? I post on my stories almost daily and it's so much fun for me!    List the top 5 cities you've visited and why. I've already done a post on this, 5 Places I'd like to revisit go check it out and tell me if we have any cities in common! What do you like doing in your spare time? I enjoy spending time on the computer and watching stuff on Netflix. when I have time I like challenging myself to do puzzles. What are you reading? I just finished reading Accidental Tourist and am currently reading The Girl on the Train. What is your favorite food to cook? My all time favorite recipe is Enchiladas Suizas , but sometimes I settle for Chilaquiles (as tortillas de Maíz/corn tortillas) aren't found...

I read Rachel's post: liveblogging  a 12 hour flight to Bangkok and loved it.. granted not every flight is a good one but I figured I'd give this a go and try doing a similar post. I decided to record happenings on my most recent flight, even thought it was less than eight hours it seemed to go okayish and so i'm sharing it with you today. Here's how my flight went down: Before the flight, we were kind of worried about not having any in-flight entertainment since we booked our transatlantic flight with eurowings. 13:03 Board the plane. We get happy the plane does have in flight entertainment. We also noticed that every seat has a water bottle. Sadly only the ones with extra leg room get a blanket/pillow. 13:17  Find out the in flight entertainment requires a 9,99€ payment. 13:44  Time for the safety procedure demo. 13:53  Prepare for take off, then eventually take off. 13:56  Kid behind me says: "guck mal da unten die kleinen Autos." ...

I know I haven't posted anything in a while but I felt like I needed some time off. Lately I haven't had much free time, yet I haven't done much. Allow me to take you back and tell you what happened these past few months.. In July we took a trip to attend a conference in Boston and then stayed an extra week to visit the big apple. I loved getting to revisit this city and got to knock a lot of items of my NYC bucket list. Once we got back from our trip, Avi went back to her last week of school, and my cousin came to visit.. but I kinda screwed up and Avi ended up missing the last day of school (we took a day trip to Berlin instead). We had all of August free, and we took advantage of this (and a wedding in our hometown) and went to visit our family in Mexico. We had a packed two weeks in Mexico, during which we were able to catch up with a lot of friends, visit the BBVA Stadium and  Avi took an intensive swim course, she was able to get the basic done, but she...
