&lt;br /&gt;
I can&#39;t believe it has been 6 months since my last blog. &amp;nbsp;But let me tell you, in those six months I have been to S.C, Virginia, Bahrain and Djibouti, Africa. &amp;nbsp;Do I have pictures, of course lol. &amp;nbsp; So you want to know how was Africa, OMG the people are soooooo wonderful and have such a peaceful spirit. &amp;nbsp;Parts of the country were very beautiful and parts made me appreciate everything I have here in the U.S. no matter how little it may be. &amp;nbsp;It was quite the humbling experience. &amp;nbsp;I know I&#39;m kinda all over the place with my thoughts but so much has happened to me, I&#39;m just writing to get in out of my head. &amp;nbsp;Let me add one of my pics before I forget lol.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinZ3fT73PhW0lCD0XRQ5rswLK70kNRIbyCRwm_lhJcAdfsAFmHYtGM124_8cQKBxIlSCf7hV5MSosd32CgS_6GmwuIL6OxLr27WKYLPqLW2dqrAicsDNREeVqdQNJ3xNvxDqKYUQA3hiEK/s1600/Shay+in+Africa+in+civilians.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;240&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinZ3fT73PhW0lCD0XRQ5rswLK70kNRIbyCRwm_lhJcAdfsAFmHYtGM124_8cQKBxIlSCf7hV5MSosd32CgS_6GmwuIL6OxLr27WKYLPqLW2dqrAicsDNREeVqdQNJ3xNvxDqKYUQA3hiEK/s320/Shay+in+Africa+in+civilians.jpg&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now of course I had to leave through Norfolk, VA where I met a few wonderful people. &amp;nbsp;Got taken advantage by one of the local small car dealerships so BUYER BEWARE :-(. &amp;nbsp;The weather was beautiful (compared to Chicago) and as you can see I was eating good. lol&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-pXZXkybUrNw/UGjo3X7-hXI/AAAAAAAAA60/1uNylc_5mq8/s1600/me+in+Norfolk.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;240&quot; src=&quot;http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-pXZXkybUrNw/UGjo3X7-hXI/AAAAAAAAA60/1uNylc_5mq8/s320/me+in+Norfolk.jpg&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ok, now that I&#39;m getting slightly better at this lol let me get to the subject at hand saving money.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now that I&#39;m back stateside I want to save some money, so here are a few suggestion.&lt;br /&gt;

My name is Shay. I was born and raised in Chicago, IL. I am a former memeber from the reality tv show &quot;Bounty Girls Miami&quot; on TRU tv. I have proudly served my country for the last 16 years. I have served in all 4 branches of the United States Military.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;The military gave me my first taste of traveling. I was fortunate enough to have my 21st birthday in Okinawa, Japan in 1994. After that I had the travel bug.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;1995-1996 I traveled throughout North Carolina. (my dad was born in Kinston, N.C)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;1997-1998 I traveled all over Missouri as well as the Bahamas participating in beauty pagents.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;1999-2000 back to my hometown of Chicago visted Texas where it was extremely hot. I was a finalist in Budwesier beauty competition for the next &quot;Bud Girl&quot; while back in Chicago.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;2001-2002 I traveled throughout the very beautiful state of California as well as Las Vegas. I was on the reality dating shows &quot;Blind Date&quot;, &quot;Change of Heart&quot; and &quot;Friends &amp;amp; Lovers&quot;. This is before reality tv got trashy uugghhh.....????&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;2003 I traveled throughout Washington state. I enjoyed driving my car on the Ferry traveling across the waters and driving off the ferry and experiencing different islands.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;2004 I moved to Georgia which has wonderful weather and people. Also that year I graduated with my Bachelors degree so I visited and had my ceremony in New York. Mom had recently passed ;,,,(&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;2005 is when I moved to Florida when I starred in my reality tv show Bounty Girls Miami, I was &quot;Clyde&quot; during tapings, I enjoyed traveling/cruising experiencing the warm waters of the Virgin Islands.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;2006 I enjoyed the southern feel of Alabama, people there were very hospitable , got a chance to enjoy Rhode Island, Boston &amp;amp; Conneticut.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;2007 I enjoyed Mexico, very delicious food and Jamaica OMG loved it! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;2008-2009 Back in Chicago to re-connect with family after the loss of both my parents by this time :-( But I was able to get away to the beautiful island of the Dominican Republic...speachless. I also earned my TEFL certificate so when I move out of the country eventually, I can teach! :-)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;2010-2011 I took a job in Kuwait, which was very interesting, believe it or not it wasn&#39;t dangerous at all. Visited Baharain and traveled through Dubai and London.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;2012 I was fortunate to live in Italy for a few months. Rome was very very breathtaking, I have the pictures to prove it lol.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;This is my first blog so I&#39;m learning this &quot;blog&quot; thing lol. Stay tuned&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Shay&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shaystraveladventures.blogspot.com/feeds/2144169559376877614/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://shaystraveladventures.blogspot.com/2012/04/shays-canada-adventure-0312.html#comment-form' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1534170304360974902/posts/default/2144169559376877614'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1534170304360974902/posts/default/2144169559376877614'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shaystraveladventures.blogspot.com/2012/04/shays-canada-adventure-0312.html' title='Shay&#39;s Travel Adventures 1994-2012'/><author><name>Anonymous</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08032941833707837218</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDGa8r4Stht60m9uQVFwj57d-My2Fi7s9FQ0hwlirUYAnC2wkC_opYKLSRbaUd7giakxh-Qmc0WbJpttQN2-cnk0eeiN4yoA3Oya-5oQcJw0kqmSgmP287J4F0INOyrqjMOx5LvrLjFUl0/s72-c/me+in+Army+during+9-11.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry></feed>
