Weird Activities and Awkward Encounters at home and abroad
Once upon a midnight dreary… well, not more like mid-day dreary, but dreary none the less, I made a long cold rainy horrible walk to the number one attraction I had to see while in Richmond, The Poe Museum! Edgar Allan Poe has long been one of my favorite writers, not far behind my…
I hate to do a “how to do Richmond in x number of days” after having been there only 3 days myself. That hardly makes me an expert. So, here’s how I did Richmond in 3 days. I’m sure I obviously missed many things, but I think I did pretty well for a limited time. …
How, oh how, have I never been here before? Apparently everyone else in the country is so familiar with this place that it’s general weirdness has totally worn off. All I want to do is make knowing eye contact with someone about how completely bizarre it is that a place like this exists in the…
This is a product that I’m so excited to review! I mean, how cool is this? I’ve been looking for something like it for ages with little luck, at least at this price point and heard from several of you that have as well. Mike and Brenda at www.pushpintravelmaps.com have created the perfect travel map…
Savannah is one of my favorite cities, and luckily it’s inhabited by one of my favorite (and only) brothers, so I get to visit fairly often. Most recently I spent the night in Savannah on my way to Richmond, VA and was able to partake in one of the best road trip breakfast ever at…
Contrary to popular belief, Disney World is not just a place for kids, this is especially evident at Epcot any time after say 4pm.

I went to Tarpon Springs for the first time yesterday and immediately wondered where this place had been all my life! This bizarre little town was hiding just 2 hours away from where I live in Orlando. How have I not been here? Perhaps it’s because I’ve never once wondered what the sponge capital…
I’ve been quoted as saying “if I can’t afford Disney, then I can’t afford a cruise.” That was immediately following a hellish trip on the Carnival Sensation . Now that some time has passed and I’ve had a chance to recover, I’ve realized that I may have been a little hasty. I’ve recently revised my…
There is nothing I love more that traveling to far off places and immersing myself in other cultures, but the sad fact of it is there is still a lot of American culture that I have not really experienced. I’ve not even really wanted to if I’m completely honest. Maybe it’s that it’s so close…
I just started playing around with the app, TripRider to plan my Disney Cruise last month. I’ll start off by saying that I am notoriously bad at planning things, like really really bad. The even the idea of planning stresses me out. So, I could really use any help I could get on that front…
