Holiday Sleep Schedule

-

 To anyone that has ever taken a holiday (vacation for y'all Americans) does anyone ever get the proper amount of sleep? I don't know about most of my readers but personally speaking anytime it gets close to going on a big trip the amount of sleep is minimal & the quality is abysmal at best. When you finally accomplish to get some shut eye the alarm clock goes off. In my case the lack of sleep is from the sheer excitement of the journey ahead, the adventure I'm going to set off on. Granted most of these thought are in a positive light, there's the random fleeting thought of what ifs; flat tyre, plane crash, a snow storm in July in Florida, if the airline asks you to pay 4.99 for water etc. But I digress... The real sleep conundrum occurs when you're trying to fit everything into a schedule. The dinners, amusement parks, visiting sites, tours, visiting friends/family, etc.... Obviously these don't apply to every trip, depending on the type of holiday is being enjoyed you might not do anything but sit on a beach watching the sunset & ordering food from the butler at one of those all inclusive resorts. Normally this doesn't apply to lets say, if your visiting a new country & are trying to soak up the most you can from the experience/culture. This doesn't apply at all if you're doing a trip to the self proclaimed "The Most Magical Place on Earth." Are the people waking up at sunrise on a Saturday to go sit in a queue for the new ride that just opened up, when do you get your rest? On the plane, maybe a nap as the passenger of a vehicle. If you've this far the main take away is, stay hydrated and get as much sleep as you can on holiday. This has to be one of the main reasons you used your time off for so you can enjoy some rest & relaxation (assumption). Schedule it in if you have to, hit the snooze button eight times, you are on holiday after all enjoy the sleep.

The Flight within The Flight

Here I am, in that oh so familiar place, the middle seat of the main cabin. The only thing that stands out from this economy flight is that I forgot my headphones in the car and my book is, of course, stowed away in the overhead bin. On a quest of trying to break the humdrum of my foolish mistakes (which included deleting the boundless memes on my camera roll), here I am, like a 90s journalist trying to write the next breaking story. Pretty sure all of the babies crying in this flight will not break the 24-hour news cycle, nor will the snores of my fellow passengers. Do not even get me started on those who can’t follow simple directions; I could write a whole column on them. As the plane started to take off, I couldn’t help but think of last week, where I was the one flying the plane. Hearing the engines whine and roar as we make our way down the runway, I feel my anticipation bubbling up. You know the feeling of climbing a roller coaster and slightly stopping at the top? Well, this w...

What it do Baby!! (favourite intro I've ever heard, shoutout to the claw). I was asked by a friend to make this post since they had a lot of questions about making their first experience on exploring the world by themselves. These are some tips/guide based on my experience of sorts, lets see how this goes.... Not to state the obvious but I'm going to do it anyways. Pick a location & the amount of days the trip will be, along with a budget which I believe is the biggest key to the trip. The amount of funds that you have will enable you to get a more extravagant experience.  With that out of the way lets move on to the trip. Plan the trip especially if travelling outside of the your home area to another country. The attractions you're going visiting, transportation (cant stress this enough!!) the language, any type of local traditions & customs. Since we live in the 21st century I don't think a translation book is necessary if you're going to have internet acc...
