Welcome back, friends! So what did I get up to on Day 3? Well, exploring the various staterooms was top of the list! My absolute favorite was the 2 bedroom / 2 bathroom Grand Suite...because of this balcony. There are only three of these suites on the ship and they are exclusively available with the… Continue reading MSC Seaside Naming Ceremony – Day 3

MSC Seaside Naming Ceremony – Day 2
So I've only just realized that my Day 1 recap was December 26th! #bloggerfail! We've been enjoying the final few days of Christmas Break. Grammy left early yesterday morning and we rounded out the night with a double sleepover. Non-verbal quote of the week: Me: "DH, twelve years ago did you think you’d be shopping… Continue reading MSC Seaside Naming Ceremony – Day 2
MSC Seaside Naming Ceremony – Day 1
Last week, the DH and I had the privilege of spending two nights on board the MSC Seaside for its Naming Ceremony and inaugural cruise. Fun!! We flew in the day before and spent a little time in South Beach, Miami. The vibe in South Beach is very sensual. The Art Deco buildings are very… Continue reading MSC Seaside Naming Ceremony – Day 1
Busch Gardens Thanksgiving – Day 3
Real talk... on the morning of Day 3, we were dragging a little bit. But a bit of good news was the adrenaline rush we needed. Remember when we checked into the hotel on Day 1 and they did not have a second stuff giraffe for Stinky? Well, I emailed (and called) Guest Relations on… Continue reading Busch Gardens Thanksgiving – Day 3
Busch Gardens Thanksgiving – Day 2
On Day 2 (Thanksgiving Day), we were ready to go! The forecast predicted an 80% chance of rain and thunderstorms the entire day, but we lucked out with just a few scattered showers. We also lucked out with a thin crowd, and again enjoyed walking on the popular rides. The park is equally as beautiful… Continue reading Busch Gardens Thanksgiving – Day 2

We're back from a wonderful family Thanksgiving at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay! Here's our Day 1 recap. Our plan was to head out as early as possible, but had a few minor setbacks. Perhaps the most interesting one involved Stinky's newly acquired goldfish, Vesper. I made arrangements for the dog, but completely forgot about the… Continue reading Busch Gardens Thanksgiving – Day 1

Delta Vacations University
A few weekends ago, I had the pleasure of attending Delta Vacations University. It is an annual weekend conference for travel agents to familiarize them with vacation packages Delta offers around the world. This year, it was held in Atlanta at the Georgia International Conference Center. I choose my courses based on market interest in… Continue reading Delta Vacations University
Build Your Disney Family
I was super excited to open my work e-mail yesterday and see that Disney is giving away free, customized decals. All you had to do is complete the steps at Build Your Disney Family (ed. now defunct) and your decal would be mailed to you in 4-6 weeks. How cool was that? Aspects you could… Continue reading Build Your Disney Family
New York City August 2010
As I watched the 9/11 coverage on the news yesterday, it reminded me of a weekend trip the DH and I took to New York City in 2010; our first couple's trip since the kids were born. We'd both visited separately in our teens, but it was a refreshing perspective to see the Big Apple… Continue reading New York City August 2010
