Day 5 and 6: Rained Out and Disneyland

So, my post Rainy Day Recreation from a couple weeks ago came back to haunt me last Thursday. I woke up feeling optimistic. The forecast had only predicted scattered showers that day and, like I said prior, I like going places when it rains. The forecast however, was wrong. We not only had torrential downpours,… Continue reading Day 5 and 6: Rained Out and Disneyland

Day 4: Hollywood

"On Wednesday's we wear pink." I'm just kidding. On Wednesday we checked out Hollywood! And boy let me tell you-... the place is a hot mess! Forget the glitz and glam you see on TV, because this town is nothing like that. When you see celebrities on the red carpets, remember they are likely at… Continue reading Day 4: Hollywood

Day 3: San Diego Zoo

On Tuesday we drove on down to San Diego. It was on this drive that we both declared we will not be moving to California any time soon. We were not prepared to navigate the 4-6 lane highways and it proved to take some time to get used to. We basically needed to be paying… Continue reading Day 3: San Diego Zoo

The forecast for that day is 59 degree Fahrenheit(15 Celsius), with a 40% chance of rain. And I couldn't be happier! The best days to go to… Continue reading Rainy Day Recreations

Bankrupt Budgeting

People are always asking me how I'm affording to travel, even though I'm basically living paycheck to paycheck. There was a point not too long ago where I was making minimum wage, working part time, going to college part time, and I still went on a couple short vacations and a trip to Disney World… Continue reading Bankrupt Budgeting

Rental Car Requirements

So you've picked your destination and booked your trip. You're excited to go out and see everything this new place has to offer. Now you have to think about how you're going to go see it all. Public transportation can be a nightmare. If you take Uber's everywhere you'll end up spending a fortune and… Continue reading Rental Car Requirements

New Generation, New Mindset

The last generation had a pretty clear path that they set to follow as they progress through life. Go to school, go to college, get a job, work for 40+ years, and then retire. They save all their “living” for retirement, after they’ve put in their time. I think this is just silly. If you… Continue reading New Generation, New Mindset
