Walt Disney World Countdown… 90 Days to Go
So, it turns midnight and we enter into 2015. The first person I text is my best friend Bee, not saying the standard “Happy new year” no.. I text her saying “We’re going to Florida this year!” I have to admit, although it’s 90 days today til we board our flight, saying it as 3 months makes it feel so much shorter. In fact.. almost panic worthy when you think that 3 months ago it was October and that seems like 5 minutes ago! Over the last few months Instagram has become my best friend in planning a Disney holiday. I’ve managed to find a lot of Cast…

USA Travels Haul
I have one final post to do about my trip, and I think I’m putting off doing it because a) it’s long as it’s all my photos from my Niagara Falls tour, and b) because after it’s done it’ll really feel like my holiday is behind me! So instead, I’m going to share with your some snaps of what I treated myself to. ‘Cause let’s face it, it’s not a holiday without some shopping! This is purely my own “personal” haul. I also bought gifts for Little Miss and my family to say thank you for looking after her for me. I also did a fair bit of Christmas shopping,…

24th August – A Whole New World
On Sunday the 24th, I had until 3pm to myself so I’d penciled in more sightseeing in NYC. First I had to get up relatively early to switch hotels. The one I stayed in Friday & Saturday was sold out for Sunday so I’d booked a Hilton, and if i’m honest, I wish I’d just stayed there the whole time. For £70 a night I got a corner room on the top floor with the most amazing view of the Empire State and the New Yorker! It was breath taking, it was no wonder Namu & I slept that night with the curtains open! So after I’d dropped my case…

22nd & 23rd August – When You’re Curious, You Find Lots of InterestingThings to Do.
After my last post I ended up struggling to get time (or decent wifi) to update regularly while on my trip, then since returning I’ve ended up being so ill and jet lagged that it’s only really been yesterday and today I’ve felt up to doing anything more than lying around! But I will be bringing more updates over the next week or so including photos from my adventures. I can’t believe it’s all over now! It still feels very surreal! On the morning of the 22nd, despite not going to bed until after 1am, I got up at 6am to catch the 8am bus to Manhattan from DC. I…

21st August – This Is Just Part of Growing Up, A Little Adventure, A Little Rebellion
So guys, today I’m updating from a bus somewhere between New York and Washington DC. The bus has wifi and I can’t sleep so I thought i’d check in. I can’t wait to get to Manhattan and my first stop is Magnolia Bakery because I have been dreaming of their banana pudding! I have more site seeing planned today, including a trip up Top of the Rock, as well as Central Park & Times Square. Yesterday wasn’t really a site seeing day, it was a seeing friends day and hanging out. In the end I didn’t take many photos as I wanted to spend the time actually hanging out and…

Summer Travel Planning, Part 3 – Packing The Wash & Make Up Bags
With 8 days to go, we’re up to the packing! I leave very early next Tuesday morning which gives me just over a week to make sure I have everything. For the past month things have just been thrown into the open suitcase onto my bedroom floor, but last night I sat down with my lists and filled up my toiletry and make up bags, making them ready to blog about today. It will be a few more days yet before I put my clothes in the case to avoid creases but with everything thrown in last night and a quick weigh, I am well under my limit. Success! Like…
