It’s really weird how the mind plays tricks on you. I checked out my scribbled holiday diary, and see that I’d had a bad night’s sleep in Singapore and the following day I took…
I have been watching a ton of YouTube videos about Disney tips and tricks in preparation for our trip in November. There’s so much to consider when planning a Disney trip; even when you’ve been several times before. I found a channel that I love (The Tim Tracker) and have binge watched it over the weekend.
Tim and his wife Jenn live in Orlando and chronicle their journeys throughout the parks. It seems that they visit the parks 3-4 times per week and investigate the different resorts, new foods, new events, changes and upcoming changes and much more. I will admit that I am addicted to their channel.
We are staying at the Port Orleans Riverside resort this trip and I am using a simple tip that I believe will make our stay a bit more enjoyable. I am using Amazon Prime and shipping all of our daily snacks, water, sunblock, ponchos, backpack and a few other items straight to the resort; our packages will be there waiting on us upon our arrival.
Another trick I’ve learned is to book breakfast in the resorts before the parks open which allows us to eat and then venture in before any crowds and lines develop. This will be especially important at Magic Kingdom where certain rides develop long lines.
I’ll be curious to read how many people who follow my blog enjoy Disney. Some can take it or leave it, but we think it is the most magical place on Earth! Cheers folks!

I have good news! The beach is still here and it is well. We arrived last night and being the party animal I am, I crashed out around 9:30. But I was able to rise early and catch some walking time by the ocean. Now my mind is purged and I’m ready to get sunburned!
I love my neighborhood early in the morning. The birds are chirping and the animals are getting things done before the heat hits in the afternoon. The moon is still out and the humidity is low. Oh, and did I mention we are leaving for the beach tomorrow night?! I think it’s going to be a good day!
Boulineau’s Grocer-Cherry Grove Beach, SC
Evelina and I are leaving Thursday evening or Friday morning to go to the beach house for a couple of days. There are 2 things to which I am looking forward: late evening walks on the beach and eating the best fried chicken ever! There is a grocery store that has a cafeteria line and makes fresh, homemade fried chicken, meatloaf, fried okra, mashed potatoes. I’m getting hungry just thinking about their food!
Southport, NC
We are headed to the beach for a weekend in a few weeks and I cannot wait. Life seems to make more sense when I am near the ocean.
Our family house is in Cherry Grove, SC but we love to take a day trip north to Southport, NC.
It is just after 4:00 am and I am up early to get some things done for a few clients. I do a lot of the creative ads for any campaigns I run digitally and my mind sometimes wakes me up with ideas. So here I am; wide awake and typing when I might be better off sleeping. Nonetheless here are a few of the things going on in my mind…
That’s all for now. Hope everyone has a wonderful Friday!!
One of my favorite things in the world is the excitement that comes along with anticipating a vacation. I have spent the last week watching videos on YouTube about Naples, Florida. I have found several unique restaurants we will visit and many shopping areas Evelina will enjoy. Our condo is right on the beach with a courtyard which is only feet from the sand. We haven’t been to the condo in a couple of years and it will be nice to see the renovations completed.
I am currently building a territory at my job which requires a lot of hours and a lot more effort than managing an existing territory. It will be a nice break to recharge the batteries for a week.
Needless to say I am as excited as a kid at Christmas!

If you were dying, but still felt healthy now, what would you do with the time you had left?
This question is the premise for two films entitled Last Holiday.
In the 1950 version of the story, Alec Guinness plays George Bird, a salesperson of modest means and ambitions. During a routine physical, his doctor delivers a terminal diagnosis: he has Lampington’s disease, rare and very deadly — and he will die soon.
Bird wanders into the street in a daze, winds up in a second-hand shop where he purchases a Duke’s wardrobe, then takes himself off to a posh seaside resort. No longer hampered by his “keep-my-head-down attitude,” Bird starts to say exactly what he thinks.
Alec Guinness played George Bird in the original version of Last Holiday (1950).
The wealthy are charmed. A captain of industry seeks his advice. Bird finds himself the center…
