In honor of my upcoming trip to Italy!
Today I bought my flight to Europe. Like usual, I'm flying into Dublin and spending a day relaxing with the Irish. Then I'm going to Italy! I found this and thought it was perfect to share. Enjoy!

Abandoned
That title was rather ominous, but what I really plan to share is this image I found on Pinterest. Some of them are kinda scary, but others are definitely making the next bucket list! Check this out:

Most Terrifying: For some odd reason, the sunken yatch just freaks me out every time!

ROAD TRIP!!!!
I miss the Midwest. I've been want to visit home for a while now, but the 24hr drive is really off-putting. However, when I mentioned it to a friend the other day I save a light of excitement that only two words accurately describe: Road Trip.
What is it about the idea of eating, sleeping and singing in a car with your best mates that just makes you ache for the open road? Well what ever it is, I've got the fever. And what better to do with a fever than to share it!? So here's some food for thought:
Get to the car and put it into high gear! And travel on my friends, travel on!

So behind!
Hey Travelers,
I am so behind and very sorry if you've been waiting on me. It seems like every day is something more challenging. Good news in my quest for travel is that I've got my tax return back so I'll be able to go to Italy after all! My friend would have killed me if I missed her wedding.
Life moves ever forward and last night I stayed in my very first Deluxe Disney Resort: Wilderness Lodge! A friend of mine owns a Disney Vacation Club membership and we had a lovely girls night in a 5th floor deluxe studio. I highly recommend it!
So here's the skinny: I'm soooooo broke! And I'm sure many of you are in the same situation. But being broke doesn't mean you can't travel. Why just this morning I found a flight from Orlando to Bogota, Columbia for $379 rt!? Sure it was for two weeks from now, but when you're poor you have to be flexible. With that in mind, here are some brilliant ideas on keeping busy while keeping your money in the bank account.
1. Design your own walking tour.
So your planning a vacation on the cheap, you have so much you want to see but you can't afford one of the hop-on-and-off trolleys! So go to the library or use your google and design your own tour. I promise you'll see so much more of the city- maybe even stumble upon a great find!
2. Create a travel play list.
Set the mood and jump into a culture. Design a play list that will help you relax and maybe bring some of your destinations spice to you day. It will be a nice way to jam through a long flight!
3. Pair up your outfits.
I own more clothes then I will ever where, but unfortunately every day I travel it looks like I've gotten dressed in the dark! ...And sometimes I have, because if your in a multi-bed hostel you do NOT want to be that person diggin' around with the lights on at 7am! So plan ahead and build your wardrobe. Then once you've started packing you'll know exactly which pieces you need.
Note: This can also help you condense your luggage. If you have 3 outfits that use the same pair of jeans, you just save yourself some major space!
4. Build a bucket list.
Don't have your next destination picked out yet? Well that's not my style, but I did say be flexible. By having a general idea of where you'd like to go you can book as soon as you see the flight drop in price!
5. Smash something!
Now don't go all Hulk on your house or anything! I'm talking about Smashbooks. They're like scrap booking from dummies, which is something I need! They don't take all the crazy supplies like a homemade scrapbook and it's still a great way to store all your memories of that trip: plane tickets, museum brochures, a napkin or menu...
6. Pin project.
Make those pins a reality. Pinterest is an addiction, but all those ideas are just that if you don't follow through. Build a camping kit, or make a piece of art. Nothing is more inspiring then someone else's imagination ;)
Well I hope that's enough to get you off the couch... or on the couch if you're just making a play list. I'll write again soon. This whole once a month thing is just not going to work out for me!
Travel on, and remember:

On TO the show.
I was reading an article how Mary Poppins is closing from Broadway. This really upset me because I had the opportunity to see it in Orlando a few months back and chose to do other attractions instead. Now I'm really regretting this... which brings me to: Seeing Shows On The Go!
Orlando might not have been the best example of a great city to see a show, but most major cities do host traveling acts of the Broadway stars. Wicked travels extensively, as does Mama Mia, Beauty and the Beast, Jersey Boys, the Book of Mormon, and a slue of other productions. Want to know what's showing near you? Here are a couple of sites your can hit up!
Touring Broadway is a website that lists all the major productions traveling across this country.
Broadway Across America is also very similar, however it's based on what's near you. So you'll need to know a zip code!
