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 wallet will thank you.
           If you still want to go out and not eat in your hotel, you can always make a picnic. Everyone loves a picnic.  That's why sandwiches are a great idea, also food items you can make easily like potato salad, cole slaw, any items you can make in your simple kitchenette or hotel room. Sometimes you don't have a stove or availability of utensils and pots to make fancy dinners. Last I checked we are not the Prince who will have eggs benedict made on a hot plate in a dorm room. Unless you bring your own hot plate then you can but that is all you honey.
          These items I would recommend the most based on my personal experience

  •  Bread
  • Deli meat
  • PBJ
  • Jelly
  • Some fixin's for you sandwich like maybe a premade salad and you add the lettuce and dressing to your deli sandwich for flavor. (Hey don't judge me I am a college kid)
  • Mayonnaise
  • Potatoes -Some stores allow you to buy individual .
  • Coleslaw mixings - I know there are prepackaged mixing for this, I have bought this before
  • Some snacks - chips, peanuts, bananas- try to stay as healthy as possible. Bananas are easy cleanup and can be bought individually.

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.

Ireland


So guys I have been counting down the days not only until my last final but when I get to board my plane to Ireland.
I cannot wait. Words cannot describe my excitement.I have always wanted to go to Europe and since I have traveled and lived in many countries on this side of the hemisphere. It is about time I cross the pond.
I have so many plans on what I am going to do while over there. 
  • Travel on weekends
  • Meet new people
  • Take lots of pictures
  • Start a travel blog/vlog (might as well since I travel a bit)
  • As well as pass my Study Abroad program
So I will be participating in an Archaeological dig. We are going to be excavating a Friary from 13th c as well as the cemetery from around that time period.
Cool thing I learned! At the local castle is where they filmed a scene in Braveheart!
On the weekends I hope I can make it to
  • Travel a little around Ireland
  • Go to England
  • Visit Wales and Scotland and find the towns that have my family name.
  • Get to France!
