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
Day 1 and 2: In the Desert
So yesterday was the day. We woke up at 2:45am. Knowing the flight was taking off for 6:30, we wanted to get there with plenty of time. The morning went as smoothly as I could hope for. I have a lot of experience flying out of Logan Airport, in Boston, so I felt prepared going… Continue reading Day 1 and 2: In the Desert

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
Hotels Tonight
Our trip to California is less than a week away and I've started to get indecisive. I have a tendency to second guess the hotel I picked because I always think I can find something better. Luckily Travelocity has a feature where you can book the room online and pay at the hotel. This allows… Continue reading Hotels Tonight
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
Earn Your “Red Eye Wings”
As many of you already know, half the battle of traveling is getting there. Personally if I can't get somewhere for a reasonable price, I'm likely not going there. I'm not a fan of blowing huge chunks of my budget on transportation, because the more I save during this step, the more I have to… Continue reading Earn Your “Red Eye Wings”
