The NIGHTMARE That Is Allegiant Air
If you are ever in a rush to go somewhere or you are expecting comfort when you fly, then I would avoid Allegiant Air at all costs. The Pea and I were traveling to see family in North Carolina. It was a spur of the moment kind of trip, only for a couple days, and [...]

THE SEARCH FOR THE 16X14X12
As I talked about previously, my one new irritation with Spirit Airlines is the carry-on policy. I know that I talked about using a backpack, but when I checked out the backpack when I got home, I was concerned about the shape and my clothes staying somewhat nice while I am transporting from one airline [...]

Packing For Maui
For the first time EVER, I OVER PACKED! That’s right, you read right…I over packed! I bought all these cutesy Hawaii type outfits to end up wearing nothing, but my Reebox Fit Sneakers (which I love and adore), tank tops, and shorts. With the exception of the luau, I lived in tank tops, shorts, and [...]

Some Extra Stuff to Do in Maui if You Have the Time
Maui Ocean Center: Yes it’s a little kitschy, but I have to say if you are not a boat person, this is a great way to see the Maui aquatic life and there are some interesting restaurants in the area such as Buzz’s Wharf Restaurant. I purchased a book from Amazon called Maui’s Top 100 [...]

HANA and yes, the road there is THAT scary…but worthwhile!
*Here are a couple things to keep in mind when traveling to Hana… I suggest stopping at a gas station before getting on the Hana Highway and buying the Hana CD, this not only talks about what you are seeing while driving to Hana, but gives a historical background as well. I really think this [...]

Maui is Definitely WOWIE….yes, I can be that lame!
Although I am a sucker for planning events when traveling, I was so excited about the Marriot Resort and Spa that the mamala and I were staying at in Wailea that I really didn’t want to have to worry about anything than parking my butt on a pool chair and soaking in the sun, with [...]

Who Knew a Weekend Trip To NC Could Be So Frustrating…OH and my rant about Allegiant Air!
So the Pea and I decided to visit her mother in North Carolina. The plan was to fly straight out of Orlando into North Carolina. This involved some careful planning on my part since I planned to fly into Orlando from Fort Lauderdale the day before, fly out on the same flight as the Pea [...]

The Big Apple – on a Budget
I am planning a quick getaway to New York City on the first weekend in October 2009. My main motivation for this birthday getaway is to see Hugh Jackman live in “A Steady Rain” (okay, who am I kidding, I want to see Daniel “James Bond” Craig as well). So, over the next couple of [...]

HAIGHT ASHBURY
Do you ever feel like you wish you could go back in time and experience a certain era? I have already lived through the 80’s, so there is no use going back to my aquanet and fingerless lace glove days, which leaves the 50’s (I have a warm spot for sock hops and poodle [...]
