I Need a Spring Fling to Scratch This Itch!

I’ve had such the itch for a spring fling. I’m so ready for spring to break through, and I keep checking vacation deals for a quick trip to Florida or somewhere tropical and warm. Let me be honest, quite frankly, it’s not responsible of me, since I have 3 trips planned this year all ready. [...]

My East Coast Travel Plans

I’ll be all over the east coast this summer and fall! We’ll be down the shore in June here in Jersey, along with a couple trips south. I’ll be hitting Florida, along with South Carolina in July, so I’ll be driving up through Georgia as well. We’re taking the auto train down. By the way [...]

Traveling Fool That I Am

I was looking at Las Vegas hotels recently, while I was checking out vacation plans for the year. It’s just not going to happen this September, because our other plans overlap again, just like last year. Last year, I had hoped to go to the Blog World Expo, but becasue I was due in Florida [...]

Carry On Questions

I have a couple of trips planned this year. One of the things I need to find out about is if I fly, and I have a laptop bag, does that become my one carry on. I guess it does, so I have to remember that. I know I’m not checking that bag if I [...]

Costly Maintenance

I’m dangling on a thread. I have to make a decision in the next 5 days on something that’s costly. The problem is, I’m back and forth on what I want to do. Overall, it’s a good value to keep something, but on the other hand, the maintenance is costly. The question becomes, do I [...]

Looking Towards Summer

I spent part of yesterday looking at vacation homes and ideas. I’m almost ready to book a vacation for the summer. I can’t wait until we’re packing up the Samsonite and heading out for relaxation. My husband’s schedule will be changing for the summer, so I’m looking forward to some extra time with him. Speaking [...]

Vacation Thoughts With Son

I was talking to my son about vacations yesterday. I asked him if he had some input for future vacations. Did he have an interest in horseback riding, whitewater rafting, amusement parks or something of that nature? His answers are always the same, Hawaii and Disney. We’ve done Disney multiple times now, and I’d like [...]

Our Disney Quest Adventure

Disney Quest is a 5 floor building full of arcade games, air hockey, pinball, virtual reality games and rides. We paid a little over $70 for two people, and had access from 11:30am to 11pm that day. It’s on the Walt Disney World property in the Downtown Disney West area, on the other side of [...]

Caribbean Beach Resort, Another View

Here’s another shot of Caribbean Beach resort at Disney. This is as we were about to cross the footbridge back to our Jamaica section. Notice the lush greenery on the site? It’s all over like this, and it really adds to the feel of the resort. The footbridge goes over a small lake, whicn you [...]

WinterSummerland Golf in Disney

I love this place. WinterSummerland Golf in Disney is such a fun miniature golf course. There are actually two, one side has a beachy and summer theme, while the other has snow and such. You’ll see a giant sand castle on one side, while the other course has the same version of a snow castle. [...]
