Universal and IOA: Orlando, FL

I made the video of my trip to Universal in Orlando. Check it out. So I finally went, I have lived nearby for a couple year and I just now went. I have gone for HHN but it isn't the same since half the rides are closed up for the haunted houses. And I went to IOA for HARRY POTTER WORLD. Yes, it was amazing. Yes, it was packed. I had butter beer and it was delicious. A carbonated butterscotch is the best way to describe it.  Since it was Memorial Day weekend the lines were long but manageable. The Forbidden Journey was a 75 minute wait and was worth it. Took you through out the castle and it was amazing seeing...

Shopping Haul

Okay honestly I love shopping. I have a lot of clothes and it is SUMMER in Florida. This means it is really time to store away those jeans and pants and only wear shorts. Now I don't have any shorts that fit me well anymore, so I went shopping. This is my haul for 5/17/2013. Yes this is late don't judge me. Okay so I love sales, but I also love buying items that flatter my assets. I got these shorts from Macy's for 29 a piece with a coupon on 2 separate purchases. Normally I would think it was too expensive but it's so hard to find...

Frugal Eating on Vacation

           As some of you may know I had a kitchenette in my hotel room last weekend. And with good reason, it is a good idea to always get a room with one or even a microwave and fridge.           Before you leave depending on how long you are traveling you should stop at your local grocery store and buy cheap and easy food items as well as snacks. For me I will always lean for sandwiches. (I can't say no to a good PBJ or Turkey sandwich) These items are good to have so that you  don't have to buy overpriced and unhealthy foods at the restaurants. Trust me your...

On-the-go wardrobe

Hello my dears: Sooooo.     I was speaking to my father today and he asked if I had started packing. It was in that moment I realized that I had forgotten that daunting task. I have to pack for 6 weeks; the most I have ever packed for. When I went to Montana last summer I had packed for 4 weeks and just reused certain items, but brought plenty enough undergarments in case I didn't have access to a laundromat, all that packed into a carry-on and a backpack.      This time will be a little different, in part that it is an excavation, so I have to think about the clothes I will be wearing onsite and...

Video Trouble

So here I am trying to edit my video from Daytona and it just crashed when I was done. And for that I won't finish it until tomorrow. Here are some pictures from the trip to hold you over. :) Where the Daytona 500 is raced!  At Bubba Gumps, my friend and I shared this. It had seafood hushpuppies, shrimp, fish, fries, and coleslaw. View from the Plaza Hotel facing the city. ...

How-to: Jet Lag

So I have been thinking about how I am going to cure this jet lag. I have heard many ideas on how-to by my friends and family. While the most jet lag I have experienced is a 2 hour difference, which believe me you can feel it. Here are some tips that I have compiled: A week or so before your trip try to sleep on that time. So when you arrive you're rested. For example: if the time difference is 5 hours, then go to sleep around 5pm your time so your sleep schedule will line up with theirs. Then wake up around the time you'd be waking up, for me I would have to wake up 2:30 am my time because I would be waking up at 7:30...
