Watch Roll - Review

Image
    Convoy Watch Roll - Review:   Link - $75.00   I bought two of these watch rolls for a recent vacation I went on with my parents. I have never found a decent way to store my watches until now. The case is leather and has space for four watches. My wrist is pretty small, so I put two watches together and it worked fine. I cut up a microfiber towel and wrapped each watch separately, so one did not scratch the other. I realize that this is for men's watches, but I could not find another viable alternative. The dimensions are 12.12 x 9.84 inches and it does fold up. I would highly recommend this product to anyone with nicer watches that travels a lot. The price was decent at seventy five dollars and there was free shipping.

Travel Jewelry Case - Review

Image
            Caroline Travel Jewelry Case - Review:   Link   - $79.00     I recently bought this travel jewelry case for a recent vacation that I went on. I bought it from Nordstrom, and I paid $79 dollars. There are three colors to choose from, but I purchased the black one. This case is well made and offers plenty of room inside the case to travel with. The interior is a suede-like material and the zippers worked perfectly well. There is a small mirror located inside and room for seven rings. There are three hooks for necklaces. I have no complaints on this jewelry case, and I would highly recommend it. If you travel with a lot of jewelry, then please buy a bigger case. The measurements are 4 1/2 x 4 1/2 x 2 inches.

Naples, Florida - Day 3

Image
  Naples, Florida -  Day 3:   For breakfast, we went to Blueberry's Restaurant. I had the Blueberry and Strawberry Crepes and the fresh fruit. I love crepes, and these didn't disappoint. Everything was very good and the service was excellent. The rest of the day was spent at my grandmother's house until it was time for the wedding. The setting was at the beach, and my cousin looked so beautiful. I have never been to a beach wedding before, and I was really impressed by how nice everything was.

The food was wonderful and the service was great. After breakfast, we went on a guided tour of the Holocaust Museum. The tour was very informative but tastefully done, considering the subject matter.

Naples, Florida - Day 1

Image
    Naples, Florida - Day 1:     My cousin is getting married this Saturday in a beach wedding, so my parents and I left Thursday morning to drive to Naples, Florida. My grandmother lives in Naples, so we went to lunch at Osteria Tulia. I had the Classico Pizza, which has tomatoes, mozzarella, basil and olive oil on it. For dessert, I had the Caramelized Pineapple Pistachio Cake which was out of this world. After visiting with my grandmother and other family members for a while, we went to check into our hotel. Normally, we would stay with my grandmother but there are already several family members staying with her. We are staying at the Inn on Fifth, which is absolutely phenomenal. The rooms are gorgeous and I can't wait to visit the pool. I can't say how amazing this inn is, but it is very pricy. For dinner, my family and I ate at Chops City Grill, which is known for their steaks. I ordered the Petite Filet Steak with the baked potat...

Day 2 - Disney Land

Image
             What I did - Disney Land   For breakfast, we ate at Carnation Café, which is located in Disneyland on Main Street. I ordered the Mickey-shaped waffle with sausage ($12.00) and the Seasonal Fruit ($3.00). Mine was excellent, of course you can't go wrong with a Mickey Mouse waffle. My mother, father and grandmother had the Eggs Benedict ($11.00). I had a small taste of it and it was very good. I would recommend this place to anyone. We then explored the park and rode some rides. I even got my grandmother, who is 56, to get on the Pirates of the Caribbean water ride. She complained about getting wet, but she seemed to enjoy herself. At 11:30 am, my grandmother, mother and myself went to the spa for facials while my dad went golfing. We had the Fire & Ice massage ($165.00) which was wonderful. After the spa, we ate lunch at Café Orleans in New Orleans Square. For starters, we split the Pommes Frites ($7.00) which is ...

What I Packed: My Backpack (Las Vegas)

Image
      I always use a backpack as my purse to carry on the plane. It is a lot easier to travel with a backpack instead of a heavy purse. You are allowed a carry on and a purse (at least in the USA), and also you might need the room on your return trip if you buy souvenirs that are fragile or expensive. You can add a couple of things from your carry-on to your backpack, and that frees up extra room in your carry on. My backpack is by Michael Kors and it came from Macy's.   - Wallet and D/L - Money - I-Phone - Charger - Scarf - Bobby Pins - Glasses - Power Charger - EOS Lip Balm - Tylenol - Tampons (because you never know) - Hand Sanitizer - Jewelry  

Day 4 - Vegas

Image
What I did:   My mom and I went back to the outlet mall after breakfast to do some more shopping. I would highly recommend this mall because of all the good values you can find. I picked out a lot of things for my mom to get me for Christmas. We were both pretty hungry after only eating a quick breakfast, so for lunch we went to the Cheesecake Factory. I have eaten there many times in Florida and always love it. We ordered the Edamame for appetizer which was very good. For my entrée, I had the Old Fashioned Burger with Sweet Potato Fries which was yummy. For dessert, I ordered the Cheesecake with Strawberries. Yum! After lunch, my mom and I went on a Segway Tour around Vegas which was so much fun. My mom was a little nervous since she had never been on a Segway, but we ended up having a lot of fun. It costs 120 dollars but was so worth it. We went back to the hotel to rest for a while and I went swimming for a while my mom soaked in the Jacuzzi.   For dinner we at...

Day 3 - Vegas

Image
Day 3 - Las Vegas:   Last night, my parents and I attended the Blue Man Group Show which was pretty fun. My parents didn't enjoy it as much as I did. I have seen one other performance of the Blue Man Group in Orlando, and I rate the Orlando one a lot better. All of the kids in the audience enjoyed it though. We sat in the second row and a poncho is arrived if you sit up front. After the show, we ate at the Burger Bar Mandalay Place. I had the Angus Burger on the whole wheat bun with skinny fries. We ordered the mac n cheese croquettes and for dessert I had the Nutella Milkshake. I can't rave enough about how good this place was. All of our food was delicious and I was really impressed with the milkshakes. I though it was really neat how they had a a lot of different fries to choose from. You can't go wrong with anything you order, and I would highlight recommend the Nutella Milkshake, if you like Nutella.   The next morning my mom and I went swimmin...

Memory Keeping: Travel Journal

Image
I have been keeping a travel journal since I was ten. I still remember when my mother bought me my first travel journal. We were going to France, and she wanted for me to have a way to look back on those wonderful memories I had created. I buy a new travel journal for every location I visit. If you don't travel as much as I do, then one journal would suffice. I wish you luck with your writing journal. - I prefer the old-fashion journal, but if you are like many, there are travel apps for this kind of thing. Blog or Book is the one I would recommend. - Make sure to include your itinerary. - During the day, whip out your journal and write down your key visits and anything you especially loved. Include someone you may have met or the best thing you ate that day. - Include pictures, sketches, photos, etc. - Write before the trip too. Imagine what your trip will be like or even what you would like to do. There is no right or wrong. - Jot down key locations...

Day 5 - What I Wore (Alaska Cruise)

Image
Day 5 - What I Wore (RTD) by swimwearlover featuring black shoes Today, we were at sea all day. Tomorrow, we are going aboard to Skagway, Alaska and are planning to go gold-mining. My dad really wanted to do this excursion, so my mom and I are going to tag along and see what its like. Maybe it'll be fun! Today while my dad played basketball, my mom and I went to the spa and had fire and ice manicures and pedicures. They use hot stones (for the fire part) and a cooling gel (for the ice part). It was very relaxing, and my legs felt like jello when I first got up (ha), but I would definitely recommend it. We took in a show after dinner and then went back to our cabin. We have to be up early in the morning, as we get to port at 7 am. I hate getting up early!!   What I Wore: -Hoodie: Striped Hoodie from Zaful -Jeans: Black jeans from withchic.com -Shoes: Black Hi-top Converse -Watch: Michael Kors Watch -Sunglasses: Round Sunglasses from Rayban.com -Ba...
