Your Travel Today

So, you are off in some deliciously sunny locale and you realize you need to do some laundry…

Shucks! Well, it’s not so bad…Because I always bring one small container of delicate washing detergent and one of fabric softener.

You don’t need a large container, just one like you would buy at your local superstore where the travel size beauty products are that would be perfect for traveling.

You should look for 2 tightly closing plastic bottles with a good cap on them, maybe the size of a travel mouthwash - you know, like you would put shampoo or conditioner in…

…Be sure to pack them in your luggage you check, so you don’t have a problem getting through security and be sure to put them in a Ziploc-type plastic bag, just in case they leak in your bags, it won’t be all over your clothes.

That way, whenever you need to wash your undies, bras, swimsuits or anything else, for that matter, you’ll be completely prepared.

Check out my post - How to Handwash - if you don’t know how to accomplish this task.

* Tip: ALWAYS hand wash Continue Reading…

Whenever I travel, I use one method for packing my clothing to ensure I can fit all the clothes I may want or need.

In order to ensure maximum use of your space and keep your clothes relatively unwrinkled, you’ll want to roll your clothes in your luggage!

That’s right. Rolling clothes keeps them as free from wrinkles as you can, plus allows you to pack a lot of clothing in the space that you do have available.

Fold pants in half at the waist, the half them bringing the ankles to the waist. Now, roll where the two ends meet as tightly as possible and place in your bag.

For tops, fold Continue Reading…

If you’ve never had the chance to visit Australia before, you really must go…at all costs…before you die!

Australia is probably thee most beautiful place I’ve ever visited and could move there tomorrow, given the chance.

Since I think that animals on our planet are amongst our most precious resources, I also have another blog, ExoticAnimalLover.com, where I’ll be hosting:

February is Great Barrier Reef Month

The Great Barrier Reef is in the Coral Sea off the coast of Queensland in Australia. It is a World Heritage Listed Natural Wonder of the World.

Honestly, when I travel, I want to see ocean and/or wildlife. If there’s nothing like that to see, it probably won’t interest me so much!

That’s what I really love about traveling…

Once animals are extinct, there is no coming back, and it’s happening at a more alarming rate than ever!

Please come by the blog to interact, comment and share your stories about your adventures on the Great Barrier Reef!

If you have never been there, come check out all of the reasons you should visit!

P.S. For more information traveling to Queensland and exploring the Great Barrier Reef, check out this beautiful travel guide:

Queensland & The Great Barrier Reef Travel Guide Admit it: you’re here for the beaches, aren’t you? Sure, we all know that Queensland’s also got great dining, a thriving, accessible indigenous culture and a healthy international vibe. But it’s the sun-kissed beaches, gentle warm sea and coral reef you’re really here for, isn’t it?

I picked my mother up from the airport the other day, and saw a set of luggage coming out on the conveyor that was unbelievably awesome!

So classy, elegant and totally stylish!

I found out that it was from Diane von Furstenberg, and I did a little bit of research online to find it for you!

It stood out from the crowd of black bags, and shone!

It is a beige-cream color, and has faux-crocodile embellishments.

The suitcases are wheeled and have pull out handles too.

Actually, the whole set is 4 different bags. A large suitcase, small suitcase, tote bag, and a wheeled city carry on.

Just beautiful and I had to share it with you here!

Awesome!

P.S. Get the 3 piece set of the large and medium suitcase and the tote bag for a great buy here:

All of the sets didn’t include the wheeled city carry-on…You have to buy it separately, and here it is:

I AM!

I am not a pretzel fan, but that’s not the issue…

The issue is that you pay A LOT for plane tickets nowadays…I just finished paying upwards of $400 for my last one, and I get what? 1 bag of pretzels, and no choice of anything else, even to purchase separately…

This wasn’t on a short flight either…My flights were upwards of 3 hrs…

Not only that, when I ask for a drink, I have to ask for it with no ice because if they put ice in the cup, I might get 2 sips of the beverage.

What else?

Even if you ask for the rest of the Continue Reading…

Have you ever experienced the Texas Sun?

If you haven’t…You have NO IDEA!

Let’s put it this way, I just arrived in Dallas on September 25th. On September 26th, we played a little bit of flag football outside…what…a few hours of sun in the fall, right?

I got sooo burnt, it’s not even funny…

The Texas sun is blazing! I’m not even prone to sun burn, but you better be sure to wear your sunscreen, especially if you are…

It is fall, and it is hotter here right now than it felt all summer long in Ontario, although we had an especially cold and rainy one…

Now I remember why I went to school here…those Canadian winters are brutal! Fall only lasts a short while there before it gets very cold.

I’m not saying that Texas is warm all year round, but it RARELY Continue Reading…
