Lost in Las Vegas

A bunch of friends and myself decided to hit Vegas one weekend many many years ago. Omigod, it was such a disaster! Lucky we were with each other that we were able to laugh most of the things off!

I will always remember the many times that we got lost! We got lost on the drive there. We took a wrong turn somewhere, and went out a different exit! We had to backtrack a good 2 or 3 hours! We also got lost when we got to the strip, not to mention losing each other. I guess different kinds of lights and sounds attract different people because my friends and I would jus wander off at different times!

Another funny incident was finding a place to stay. Overconfident fools that we were, we thought we could just find a place once we got to Vegas. We didn’t even consider the fact that it was going to be a crowded weekend and we would even have trouble! Big mistake! I don’t even know who actually found the place we ended up staying in!

Vegas is such a great city and should you wish to go there and visit, do not do what we did! Instead, take the stress away and book a tour with Trusted Tours and Attractions and their online travel guides .

A Great Family beach Vacation at Morey’s Piers

My family and I just got back from a little getaway that we had at Morey’s Piers in New Jersey! It was a great family beach vacation! Everyone just had an awesome time!

We all had our fill swimming, tanning and just relaxing by the water! The younger ones, as well as the young at heart went crazy trying out all the rides! They had a blast just trying anything they could find! We didn’t even know that Morey’s Pier had over a hundred different amusement park rides so that certainly was a pleasant surprise that we all got! There were water park rides too, so many to choose from that you had trouble deciding which one to go to first! It was also nice to walk along the boardwalk in the afternoons, and just sit down in one of the benches and watch the world go by!

It was the perfect little getaway to just unwind from everything, and served as sort of a last hurrah for the kids who would be starting school soon! It was made even better because of the fact that the family got to take advantage of the Morey’s weekend specials that the amusement park is offering! Definitely fun on a budget!

If you’re looking for a family beach vacation, you should definitely consider Morey’s Piers at Wildwood, New Jersey! You’re sure to have so much fun!

Airline Secrets

Want to save up on airline tickets? Here are some tips to follow to do that! These are the things airlines don’t really want you to know!

1.Don’t accept the first fare quoted. Thee are usually flights from other airlines that are one hour from thatĀ  that you’re bookedand cost less.

2.If traveling with carry on baggage and want to save on time, don’t get a through ticket. Instead get your travel agent to get you an “Illegal ticket” which is that within 45 minutes departure from your first flight. Airlines think this time is too close for comfort, whic is why they don’t book it but if you want to save time, book it yourself

3.If you have missed your flight and there’s just time to catch another, go straight to the other airline’s departure gate instead of its ticket counter. If this flight has an empty seat, the second airline will usually honor the ticket for the flight you missed!

4.A seat over the airplane’s wings will usually give you the most comfortable ride!

An Early Start to Christmas Shopping

Last year, I had a horrible time in my attempt to get my family and my friends’ christmas presents! I wanted to start early so I set a oal to have everything bought by black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving! I thought it would be an excellent idea to shop on this day because of the major sales that were available.

So I attempted to get up early! I groggily pulled myself out of bed and hurriedly got dressed! I went out in the freezing cold and stood in long long lines of people waiting for the stores to open! Needless to say, that wasn’t the most pleasant of experiences! I don’t think I can go through that again!

This year, I have a better strategy! I’m getting an early start to my Christmas shopping by looking at the cyber monday ads and black friday deals available at Black Friday Online!

The best thing besides the many stores to choose from is the fact that you can shop online from these stores come black friday! My nieces and nephews are sure to appreciate the gifts I’m planning to get from the Disney Store . I’m also planning to look at the stuff from Costco, Amazon, Circuit City and Comp USA!

What about you? Are you going to brave the black Friday crowd or sit in the comfort of your house and shop from there? I say the latter, it’s going to be so much better!

Road Trip Munchies

Going on a road trip involves a lot of packing! Make sure you don’t forget your snacks in all the frenzy. While there are a number of rest stops and gas stations available for you to get bags of chips, this isn’t really the healthiest option for you. Pack some healthier alternatives! Read up for some great road trip munchies suggestions!

Fruits like grapes, apples and bananas are easy to handle and easy to eat while in the car. They’re healthy too and can satisfy hunger pans pretty quickly.

Individual fruit cups are also a great option. They’re already pre-packed for each one so there’s no hassle involved in scooping them out.

Watching your weight? Carrot and celery sticks will do the trick for you.

To make kids more enthusiastic about eating fruit and veggie sticks, don’t forget to pack a dip for them.
