Weird Activities and Awkward Encounters at home and abroad
In honor of Halloween I’m going to revisit one of my favorite spooky locations, The Carnton Plantation in my hometown of Franklin, TN. Now, I’m a sucker for a ghost story and I grew up in Franklin, TN, a small town that’s still milking the Civil War because that’s the last interesting thing that happened…
So I only recently found out travel hacking was a thing by reading several blogs on the subject. So far everyone is a lot better at it than I am, like this guy that traveled the world for $418, or this guy that flew to Brazil for $5. If you do a quick search on…
So, I had every intention of making my next post (this one) about my fabulous new Barclaycard Arrival Master Card that’s going to get me so many miles that I can fly anywhere in the world, whenever I want, but it turns out this card is somewhat inappropriately named since it may never actually arrive…
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…
Well, it took 7 trips to the Food and Wine Festival this year, but I finally did it. I finally got all 30 of my stamps! Today was a short day with a mission. First stop Canada, Canada is one of the most popular stops. Luckily, I was able to stop by here on a…
That’s right, round 6. I’ve never actually kept track of how many visits it took me to get around the world before. Yikes! Granted, I’ve been going at a relatively leisurely pace, but this is nearly impossible for the average vacationer. I really thought I was going to be able to knock out all the…
What better way to start a day of indulgent eating and drinking that with a stop at Starbucks? This is actually my first time at the much anticipated Starbucks addition at Epcot. I know what you’re thinking. “Why do I need to go to Disney for Starbucks? I’m sure they’ve just found a way to…
I’m not going to make this post about “rules” per say, the great thing about New Orleans is that there really are no rules. Oh no! The cemetery is closed? Not a problem, just grease the guy inside! $20 for a personal after hours tour! You want to draw on someones grave? That’s fine…
I’m usually terribly unlucky at sweepstakes. I’ve never really won anything, unless you count the time my mom won a years supply of Godiva Chocolates and I reaped the benefits, but all that did was ruin affordable chocolate for me. I’m hoping this will turn out better. Here’s a list of contest and sweepstakes currently…
So as you can tell from the title, I really covered some ground this 4th trip. My cousin, Connor, stopped by to visit from Tennessee. I always love when people come visit for Food and Wine. Usually, the more people you take with you, the more food and wine you get to try, but unfortunately,…
