Hi everyone!!
I am home again save and sound. After 23 hours of traveling I arrived at Dusseldorf airport with…snow!! So it took us 1.5 hour to drive home. After a lot of sleep and laundry washing we are now packing our bags again for a nice week with the 3 of us in a bungalow park. But before leaving I owe you report about CHA!!

After arriving on Friday afternoon in a rainy LA I met Julie, Eric and Lindsay at the hotel. It was so much fun meeting Julie and Eric for the first time in real live! After dinner and a good night sleep they took me on a tour on Saturday. Julie and myself sat in the backseat and Lindsay was driving the car with Eric as co-pilot :)
Now I need to tell you I never heard – recalculate, make a U-turn that much! Even though Julie and I feared for our lives we were laughing so hard it made my eyes wet! If you ever read the Cosmo blog I can tell you, they are even funnier irl :D
Here are some picture that I took during “the tour” trough Beverly Hills, Hollywood and Balboa Island.

It was such a great day and we had so much fun!! Back at the hotel I met up with Vicki and Greta with whom I shared my room. It was great seeing Vicki again and to meet Greta! Since CHA would start the day after we all went to bed on a decent time :)

The make and takes I did at the Cosmo booth were so much fun and I actually had a cue at some points!

I was such a shame that this all came to an end so fast. I really had the best time and Julie, Eric and Lindsay really are the sweetest, so funny and nice. Must be the Dutch genes huh Julie ;) They made me feel like a part of the Cosmo family, gotta love them!

Of course I also made a lot of pictures at other booths at CHA and I owe you a post showing my favorites from CHA. But now it is time to put our bags in the car and head for our little holiday!!

Thanks for stopping by

  1. Hoi mop,
    Wij hadden natuurlijk al een heleboel van je gehoord, maar heel leuk om het nu ook nog even te lezen en vooral te zien hoe je het naar je zin hebt gehad. Daar in de States. Geweldig hoor. En wat een leuke en mooie foto’s heb je weer gemaakt. Het zullen er wel een paar zijn van een heleboel.
    Groetjes en knuf van ons

  2. Howdee stranger, fijn dat je er weer bent en ons even snel van je belevenissen op de hoogte brengt, en dat terwijl de volgende vakantie zich weer aandient. Geniet ervan en tot de 10de? Ben wel heel erg benieuwd naar alle nieuwtjes van de CHA.

  3. so much fun to see the states through your eyes. i’m so happy you were able to come out for the show. you were exactly as i’d hoped! soon again, yes?
