Obviously, the best souvenir from one’s travels is their experience and the memories made. Even with that, a lot of people like to have something extra… something that when they look at, it instantly brings back the memory of a certain trip.

You only have one life to live… make it count! Over the many years I have always thought of things that would be amazing to see and/or do; and I have always said “I’ll add that to the bucket list.” However, overtime, you start to forget due to the amount of stuff added, so that is why I have decided to actually write out my … Continue reading Before I Die

Since I was supposed to be in Las Vegas this weekend, I decided to write this throwback story of the time we got robbed during our last night in Vegas.

During our weekend in Vegas I was able to get a connection, … Continue reading Should Have Known
It’s definitely been a long time since I went to Universal Orlando – over 10 years! I often make trips to Florida as we have a house down here, and when we come, it’s always off to the parks. For me, personally, I always enjoy going to Disney World over Universal. That has nothing against Universal, but more so the fact that we could always … Continue reading Lights, Camera, Action!
