Weird Activities and Awkward Encounters at home and abroad
Unfortunately, being tied town with several jobs means that most of the time I can’t go too far from home (at least for now). The bright side of this is that I live in Florida and there are plenty of weird and wonderful locations only a day trip away. Weeki Wachee Springs State Park is…
I was lucky enough this past Saturday to have happened upon the soft opening (grossest possible term for “test run”) for the highly anticipated Spice Road Table, a Mediterranean Small Plate Restaurant in Morocco at Epcot. We started off with Pomegranate Mimosa, made with champagne, orange and pomegranate liquors. The lakeside patio dining was delightful…
Ok, so this one technically isn’t travel, but it did take me from college in Charleston, SC to my current life in Orlando, FL. It also introduced me to people from all over the world and indirectly afforded me many travel opportunities, so I’m counting it. My cousin just started the Walt Disney World College…
If you follow me on twitter, you were privy to this break down in real-time, but for those of you who do not, here’s a totally unbiased personal narrative featuring the fine folks at US Airways. MCO to BNA via CLT I arrived at the airport on Christmas day, an hour before my flight as…
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 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…
I have been attending the Food and Wine Festival for years now, but have never done any of their special events. This year I changed that and attended the Mexican Tequila Lunch at La Hacienda de San Angel. This is an informative and tasty lunch that takes place at noon every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday…
Now that I’ve eaten and drank my way through every stop at the Food and Wine Festival, I’ve compiled a list of my favorites. Mind you, I’ve enjoyed something from each booth, but have not tried everything. So, if one of your favorites is missing from the list below let me know! DRINKS! Best Red…
