Weird Activities and Awkward Encounters at home and abroad
If you read my last post, then you know about the amazing, and slightly unbelievable fares from the US to Scandinavia on Norwegian Air Shuttle. Naturally, I was a little skeptical of fairs like this. I’ve just returned from a flight with them from Fort Lauderdale (the worst airport in the world, as it turns…
I recently discovered while browsing through the Barclaycard Travel Community, Norwegian Air Shuttle. They fly out of a handful of American cities; New York JFK, Oakland/San Francisco, Los Angeles, Fort Lauderdale, and best of all, Orlando! Norwegian Air Shuttle is the first low cost air carrier to fly direct from the US to Scandinavia. A…
Reportedly, in the late 1800s a man in New York named George Colby was told in a seance that he should found a Spiritualist community in the south. He took off for Florida, guided by his Native American spirit guide, and founded Cassadaga Spiritualist Camp in 1894. He also apparently had Tuberculosis upon arrival, but…
St. Petersburg is not exactly known for their art scene, but I’m still not sure why it took me so long to visit The Dali Museum. It’s only about an hour and a half drive from Orlando and certainly worth the time. Upon arrival you’re asked to pay $5 for parking, which when coupled with…
Yet again this year over Memorial Day weekend Disney World’s Magic Kingdom as well as DIsneyland Resort hosted the “Rock Your Disney Side” 24 hour event and really tried to make #disneyside happen. Of course, they made it happen, it just didn’t make a lot of sense to me, but if they can make Frozen…
I was nominated for the first time back in January for the Liebster Award, and I’m very flattered to be nominated for my second time. The Liebster Award is an award given to new bloggers by new bloggers and paid forward much like a chain letter without the superstition, but it’s a great way to…
Wanderlust sets in pretty quickly after I return home from a trip. Unfortunately, Africa cleaned me out financially for a bit, not to mention the fact that it’s recital season and my directors would be none too happy about me leaving until after the mid-June show. Knowing I’m stuck here, even if it is just…
I love making airport friends. Everyone has a story. They’re coming from somewhere and going to somewhere, and best of all every conversation has an expiration date. You can talk about anything you want and know that you’ll probably never have to see these people again. There’s a literal “plane to catch.” One of my…
About six months ago, around the time this blog was born, I was dabbling in the exciting world of airline miles. I read others accounts of travel hacking and credit card churning. They earned hundreds of thousands of miles and traveled the globe staying in 5 star resorts for free. That sounded pretty okay, but…
Okay, so this is more of a “dream Africa packing list”, or an “if I had it to do again packing list” or a “why didn’t someone tell me before I went packing list?” but those titles are a bit wordy. As many of you know I returned from my first trip to Africa a…
