Weird Activities and Awkward Encounters at home and abroad
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…
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…

The following are 10 of the eeriest places I’ve visited. 1- Carnton Plantation, Franklin, TN The subject of my last post, a civil war era plantation that was used as a hospital during the battle of Franklin…
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…
