Weird Activities and Awkward Encounters at home and abroad
I found out about the very inspiring blogger award yesterday after being nominated by the fabulous Carmen of Carmen’s Travel Tips. My blog is fairly new and it’s my first time being nominated for something like this so it’s very exciting and I couldn’t wait to pay it forward to some other new (and not…
I’ve just recently decided to go visit my family in Nashville, TN for Christmas. Unfortunately, I looked at travelocity before I looked at weather.com. Had I done the opposite, I would have seen this before I booked my flight. I’ll admit, it’s not as bad as it’s been before. In fact, from my experience…

It’s that time of year again! Everyone loves the holidays, and if you live near Disney World the holidays last from the day after Halloween through the first week or so of the new year! This is the 6th holiday season I’ve spent in Disney World, but this year is different. This year in Epcot’s…
I’ve been reading a lot about this travel hacking business. It very much intrigues me, but I must say I don’t fully understand how to make best use of it yet. So, I’m by no means an expert, but this deal seemed too good to pass up. Yesterday I applied for two different cards, the…
I just returned home from a Thanksgiving trip to visit my family in Shreveport, LA, reportedly the “coolest city ever.” What’s that? You haven’t heard that? or even really heard of Shreveport? Let me assure you that it is in fact a thing… it says so on this sign. Bonus points for anyone that can…
I’ve been to St. Augustine a handful of times, most recently being this past Saturday Nov. 23rd. It was a fortunate coincidence that it happened to be St. Augustine’s Night of Lights, an annual festival and tree lighting. The entire town turned out. Some dressed up for the event. The mayor even made a speech. …
In recent years it seems that Florida‘s reputation as spring break and retirement mecca has been overtaken by insane news stories. It’s cool to hate Florida. I moved here from Tennessee almost 9 years ago (yikes!) and in that time have heard things like, “I’m not much for sun and sand”, “I never left anything…
Continuing my cheap U.K. theme, I wanted to talk about the one weird side trip I made while in London. I went to Brighton for a visit to the beach. Apparently I picked an inopportune time to go, because a quick google search for information yields gorgeous pictures of clear skies over a sun soaked…
If you’ve read my last post, you’re probably pretty impressed with what a travel genius I am for being able to cheaply and directly infiltrate the British people and exploit their travel opportunities. If not, you should go ahead and read that before I admit to all the stupid things I did after making the…
