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.

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!

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…

Experience an Awesome night out in Orlando, as highly recommended by CookingWithKimberly.com! Check it out here…

***

My husband & I went to Orlando for our “honeymoon” and we had an absolute blast!!!

There are so many things to do in Orlando, but since we are both foodies, we concentrated on our culinary experiences and ate VERY well in Orlando…Every dinner seemed to be better than the last! We had a lot of local fare, but also went to some of the dinner theater experiences, like Medieval Times, which was an absolute blast!

Probably the most fun food experience we had was at Orlando’s Sea World at the “Polynesian Luau”.

What a super enjoyable evening we had! It is usually held outside, but it happened to rain that night, which caused us to be worried about if this would be any fun…

To our pleasant surprise, what a fabulous experience we had! The dinner was all-inclusive with 2 alcoholic drinks included. We sat at…

Wow…What else can you say to these Amazing, Unique and Incredible Hotels?

Some of them may seem a little unusual, but isn’t that adventurous?

1. Meet Giraffes @ Giraffe Manor in Langata, Kenya - The giraffes are allowed to roam freely on the hotel grounds and are able, and willing, to poke their large necks and heads into any open window or door. Amazing!

2. The Harbour Crane in Harlingen, Amsterdam, Netherlands - A deluxe, luxury room for two 60 feet atop the harbor docks in an industrial crane. Don’t let it fool you, it is a 5 star accomodation…The lap of luxury!

3. The Dog Bark Park Inn in Cottonwood, Idaho - This B&B is shaped like a dog…A Beagle to be exact! Yes, dogs are allowed and they are open from April through October.

4. Hotel Everland travels around Europe - You heard me correctly…It is a luxury, mobile, trailer-type accommodation that is also an art exhibit by day. Make sure you check out on time! This year, it will be in Paris atop the Palais de Tokyo Museum, 100 feet above the Seine River…Pretty cool!

5. The Marmara Antalya in Antalya, Turkey - 2 dozen hotel rooms are situation atop a rotating foundation that completes a revolution every 7 hrs with gorgeous, shifting views of the Mediterranean Sea. Wow!

Wow, I came upon this photo today online (add me as a friend on Stumble Upon), and it knocked my socks off…

This photo was taken @ Val Di Funes, Dolomites, Italy.

Talk about tranquil and peaceful…

I could spend some relax time in this little valley…If you can’t de-stress here, you can’t de-stress anywhere!

I have always wanted to travel Europe, especially Italy…What a gorgeous country!
