The Road Less Traveled

Kelly discusses her travel partners and gives us her tips on international travel.

May 25, 2011

I cannot believe we are flying to Morocco! As a model, I traveled all over the world -- but it was from hotel, to van, to location, and back. I never really saw much, only what I could take in through the window. I am now traveling to Africa with ladies whom I have grown to feel so comfortable with. The informal education and unknown is what makes it so alluring -- not the thread count.

Can you believe what Ramona packed? It was both an infomercial for her jewelry line and handpicked from the ‘80s.

Sonja has made it official. She does not wear underwear at any time. I have been privy to her parts and am saying, for the record, every woman should wear panties. Discovering is much more flattering than be blasted with nakedness, just sayin'.

The riad we stayed in was amazing and reflective of pure Moroccan style. I loved all of the colors and the aesthetic of the house. Sometimes you have to pinch yourself.

I was disappointed that the "blondes" didn't join us for lunch. I was hoping they would participate more in the trip. It's hard to see the good in people when they continually show you the bad. I felt bad for LuAnn, but I respected that she remained the hostess and tried to include everyone. Cindy and I are the only single women, and we are the ones hanging at home? Really? Now, the whole world is going to see what it's like to travel with Ramona and Sonja. Fasten your caftan.

Kelly don't ever change. So far you are one of the only "real" people on the show. Big Fan of yours. Keep up great outlook on life

you looked so beautiful tonight!!

This trip was better for you this time than the last.....

Kelly, U did well on the beginning of this tour, I hope it lasts.

Your blog is the best! And actually helpful! I really enjoy watching and listening to you on the show. Thanks for the entertainment!

Thanks for the fun decorating tips!! I love Moroccan decor-so warm and inviting with a sensual undertone. I forsee a shopping trip in my near future :)

Kelly, it's amazing that this season you're the voice of reason. What a 180!!

I feel like you have changed for the better this season. I am really liking you this season.

Now that B is gone you seem to have clam down, I think you were so bit by the green eye monster over B that you could not settle down and have a good time. Nice to see who you really are.

Love your blog this week! I laughed out loud! You are really impressing me this time round and LUUUUV your decorating tips! PLEEAAASE keep them coming! You have fab ideas and style.

Good Blog. You seem reasonable...

Kelly I am very happy to see you interacting with the other wives and having fun at the same time, I love your attitude and how you approach things. Team kelly! Love those sand angels and jelly beans!

Kelly,

You are like a breath of fresh air this season!! So glad you are enjoying yourself. I feel like we are seeing the real Kelly this season.

Team Brunette!!

I love you blog this week ... you sound different. On top of the fact you gave some great "travel tips". Thanks for the smiles.

Kelly I enjoyed reading your blog. I especially loved your decorating tips. I will be reading future blogs for more tips. Know the show is not live but hope that your portrayal continues to be positive. You got a raw deal last time out.

The lunch conversation about Sonja's home= Bad Form. You are a sharp lady on the outside. In fact, you are all sharp ladies on the outside. Hopefully once everyone has a chance to see their behavior on televsion, you can all refocus your priorities.

Really Loving you this season!

Kelly, I was impressed by your excitement and open-mindedness while visiting Morocco. You were a class act and I'm glad you had such a good time. It was really great to see the joy and excitement in your expressions.

I love your line of close of the owls, were can I look to buy your product? My daughter are American tribal Indians and,the owl is there bird.. Thank You We Love The Show!! Cori

Kelly, My girls and I watch the show and.love it..Were can I buy from your line of close of the owl? My girls are American Tribal Indians and there bird is the owl. Thank You Cori

Wow! So glad to see that you are more than a pretty face. I knew you were sharp, smart and focused (you couldn't have been successful if you weren't).

Love you this season. You are so relaxed and a voice of reason. Keep on calling it like you see it. All the other mean girls do.

Not only are you beautiful, you have GENUINE insight and a loveable zest for life. Keep ignoring the negative and be your happy self, you are the better for it!

Kelly,you are a real inspiration to all." If you can't say something nice,don't say anything at all"is what I was told growing up,and I feel that you do this most of the time with the other housewives. Keep up the good work.

Hi! Love the earrings you wore in Marrakesh. When you had your hair tied in a ponytail or something. They look like two teardrop shaped hoops. Any info? Love your hair too! How do you style it? Love the show! Hang in there! Some of the girls are really nuts. But I like you, LuAnne, Cindy, Jill...Thank you!

PS Watching from Puerto Rico! ;-)

You are awesome this season!

Kelly. I agree with Jenn. You are real and pure. I have the same values you have and believe that the world can be as beautiful as we want if we believe and concern ourselves with the true good and kindness that exists and dismiss all the evil and stupid petty things.

We are seeing more of your intelligence and humors !!!! Great !!!!

I agree with you totally. Impress the opportunity presented. You are a class act! So jealous of the trip to Morocco,which I will have only in my dreams. I would have been like you, soaking in all the decorating aspects. What fun!

You are a truely clean sole and your spirit is free. Don't let those blonde bimbo's try to change who you are. And as for the last big trip you took with the women, you were being bullied and yes they did attack you. And sooo jealous... Morocco.. wow.

Kelly, you said you don't gossip or talk behind people's back,,,but the first episode of the ladies in Morocco,,,,you were talking bad about sonja,,,,and she has been a good friend to you! If you are as nice and real as you say you are,,,,you should tell her you are sorry!

You are the only sane one on this trip - quelle surprise! Kudos to you for knowing and sharing tips about traveling abroad, especially how to be respectful to the customs and cultures of others. How wonderful that you speak French and utilized that skill in a positive fashion as you conversed with the Moroccans. I have also found myself being embarrassed by the behavior of fellow Americans while traveling abroad. I bet you will never travel with Ramona or Sonja again!

Kelly...you have definitely hit the nail on the head so far on this trip! The "blondes", minus Alex, really show their true colors. For me, I feel that Sonja is phoney. When one is always bragging about the flamboyance in their lives, it proves to be false! You seem to be very real and have found your niche with these ladies! The brunettes really have it together!

I give credit when due and despite the fact that the past few seasons I lost faith in you totally you have fully redemmed yourself. You seem a lot happier, more grounded, more real and less phony. Whatever is going on in your life is clearly making you a happier person. Stay away from the all the juvenile nonsense, I am amazed how Ramona and Sonya act like two 16 year olds.....seriuosly it is sooo not cute!! Good luck.

A lot of women do not wear underwear. Myself included. I agree you do have very good morals but are very quick to judge when someone else doesn't practice the same morals. Everyone is different. That doesn't make them strange or weird.You seem to be a little prude about your own body. You are an adult woman not a pre teen. You should know what your stuff down there looks like and how it all works.Sonja is a very sensual woman and I think you need to accept that instead of judging her for it. Sonjia always tried to stick up for you last season. I think you owe her an apology.

Love that Kelly!!!!!!!

I'm with you on the under garments thing. Everyone should be wearing some kind all the time.

Not nice what you said about Sonja's home. Thought you didn't engage in that kind of behavior. Tsk, tsk.

I do not understand your hatred of Sonja this season. She was a really good friend to you on the last vacation....and Ramona didn't do anything to you. Why do you hate them? If you really are going to share the love, be sure to spread it around to everyone....not just the brunettes.

Kelly - I am happy to see another side to you. Your class is showing. Keep up the good work.

Kelly, so glad you are i a better place this year because you came across as a little crazy last year. Keep being your wonderful self and you will be happy; that other person we saw last year was Scary..

Excellent comments on how to act when traveling.
