"It is not the destination where you end up but the mishaps and memories you create along the way." by Penelope Riley
I'm documenting my mishaps and memories to laugh and reminisce about and I hope you will join me. Also, I'm hoping to share tips and experience so maybe your mishaps will be fewer and farther between. Happy Travels!

Carnival Freedom 2020 | Last Sea Day
The end of our Book Club/ Girls cruise was a wet one. Did it dampen our fun? Nope. We duck hunted, played Bingo, watched the Lip Sync Battle and scream sang...again. All in all, another great adventure in the books. Have questions? Comment below. Let's talk travel. Sandra:)

Carnival Freedom 2020 | Cozumel Excursion
zhlédnutí 433Před 4 lety
It didn't take long for us to agree this was literally one of the best excursions we've all been on either together or independent of our book club. They made it fun, entertaining and we actually learned a lot. We asked for the recipes and have made a few of the meals/margaritas that they made for us once we got home. Such a fun day!

Carnival Freedom 2020 | Isla Roatan

Isla Roatan and Mahogany Beach was a really fun port day. BUT get there early. We did not have an excursion so we took advantage of not rushing off of the ship. Mistake. Big mistake. No shade left whatsoever. No umbrellas left to rent, either. This girl needs shade on an island. #melasmalife Ask question and make comments. Let's talk travel!

Day 3 on the Carnival Freedom was another amazing day filled with fun, friends, food and gluttony despite my best efforts. We opted to do a Salsa and Salsa Beach Break excursion. Dis-embarkation was a breeze, transport with a narrative tour of island to and from excursion was simple and all staff members were wonderful. Was it worth it? We paid about $90 in total for the 3 hour experience and a...
Carnival Freedom 2020 | Sea Day 1
zhlédnutí 1,4KPřed 4 lety
What is a sea day for anyway? Rest, relaxation, eating and being merry! I'd say we had a successful day at sea. The only thing that really stuck out in my mind, and I didn't get it on video much, was how rocky the seas were on this particular cruise. I've been on a few in my life and this was by far the most rocky and rough. Was it still a good day? Heck yes! Ask questions and make comments. Le...

Embarkation day is all fun and games until you get up at the crack of dawn, drive for 6 hours and have one too many drinks during the sail away party. Luckily, spoiler alert, I roused myself up to make it for the drill. But it was a close call! Great cruise, great day and great friends! Ask questions and make comments. Let's talk travel!

#canada #lakeagnesteahouse #lakelouise It's hard to describe what an amazing hike it was from Lake Louise up to the tea house and up a HUGE mountain and back down again.

Exploring Jasper National Park

Jasper National Park was an amazing experience. Sadly, with only one day we did very little. I highly suggest renting a car if you really want to explore the park. You are pretty limited if your only means of transport is by public shuttle or by foot. Did we have a great day? Of course! If you have any questions or comments please leave them below.

All aboard! Day two of our Rocky Mountaineer experience was just as wonderful as day one. Again….we relaxed, ate, saw amazing scenery, ate, slept, ate and learned a lot about the history of Canada.

Hudson hotel is a dump.
I heard a theory that the girls who accused all those people was because of a fungus in the crops that had psychadelic effects
Thè price of an efficient àpt.
Medical box…lol. Fist day I removed the cabinet door to the refrigerator (depressing two small tabs on hinges) and stored under bed. Fridge stayed stayed nicely cold the whole trip. Also when we were out of the room I would direct our fan (brought ourselves) to the fridge area to circulate air. Worked great. Keep the door on the cabinet closed and it will never cool to 40 degrees.
Complaining about the outhouse smell lol, first time using one? 🙄
Would you recommend bug spray? And would binoculars be worth the extra weight? Is there enough to see with them?
Thank you for this I am taking this excursion from Vision of the Seas in 3 weeks. I was wondering what to expect. This helped me so much.
A lot of complaints in this video.
to all who go on this trip-the gold leaf spend time in the vestibule area open on both sides with railing i did
mom-i took it too my 50th b day celebration
Why? Just why? On your vacation?
Great to see you again Sandra, missed your vlogs.
Garbage
❤❤❤❤
Can I ask if this is a standard room or upgraded ?
Thank you so much!
you were spraying way too close I think
I agree. You’re supposed to mist at least 8 inches from the garment. That’s the reason you got stains.
Unfortunately as much as I would like to buy an Away suitcase their smaller size is still too big for Air Transat….the airline we use to cruise with….their measurements are 20inch high x 16 inch wide and personal item is 12inch high by 17inch wide. These measurements make it a real challenge to go carryon only…..but the hardest is finding a 20 inch suitcase. I was able to find a 14, an 18 but not a 20inch….I travel with a 22 inch or 24 inch depending on the destinations and if the cruise is 7 or 10 days.
I definitely have a problem with shoes! I usually pack in the summer flip flops, sandals, sneakers and shoes sometimes? It’s not always easy for me to find small shoes! I always need a 6w at least so that’s always a problem
Love salem I go every Oct. Can't wait! 4 weeks to go! So many things to see and do♡
This seems to be a very interesting place, I hope I can visit sometime in the future. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much! And please keep up the great job! Subscribed!!
What month did you go to utah? We are planning August next week
No one so far in their videos are following the instructions. You spray the fabric evenly in a sweeping motion, smooth and pull fabric as required and finally you let it dry not using a hair dryer.
Perfect
Your face expression looks like none of them where good lol but will be on the ship in September and will give them a try I will let you know !!!
Why do you use packing cubes? Advantages? Thanks
Thank u for this honest review.
Super basic. I love it. I’ve been researching light/minimalist packing for cruises. It’s nice to know that other people aren’t bringing sewing kits, first aid kits, and other miscellaneous items that likely won’t get used! 😏
No more fun times all on the Hub
I LOVE Grand Turk for snorkeling!! And we paid $30 for a clamshell to sit under for the day.
Odd about the wifi. I haven't had any real problems. I did have to get customer service to log me back in once. I was even able to call though messenger. We will see what happens
Thank you for sharing Just one question. About how far from Louise to Mirror lake ?
This video is from a while back, but your story about the "medical box" made me chuckle. We cruised on the Conquest a few weeks ago and were disappointed our beverages were room temperature. A call to the room steward led to his rushing off to find a replacement. That did the trick. No mention of our having a medical box. Sounds preposterous.
I know, right? It didn’t seem right to me either…. Lol!
Hi, I stumbled across your video channel and found you to be entertaining to watch. I notice your last video was right before covid. Hoping you continue to record your traveling 🧳. And hoping all is well.
How long does it takes to go lake agnes?
Is it safe?
Shes beautiful
Wow! Very inspiring 👏
Really enjoyed your video, I cheered when you got to the top! 🤣 Visiting Colorado from Ireland in June with my partner and we’re planning on doing this same hike, don’t know if your video has got me more scared or excited!
I know this is old, but I used this on our first cruise, and it worked just fine. However, I wasn't in a rush.
Congratulations guys - Those donuts are a great reward - There is no feeling in the world like when you reach the top - Thanks for sharing :)
Watching video 2 years after the fact. What decks were the launderettes on?
I'm looking at doing this with my daughter. She's six and loves cooking with me, and she loves dancing and eating salsa. But I didn't see any kids in your video... is it at all kid friendly? Also, do you remember how much time you had on the beach afterward?

I am with you 100% on the shoes. GREAT video. Trying hard to pack for a 14 day cruise, with all my “stuff” in carry on only. Shoes are the main problem. And toiletries. I am putting together a workaround for the toiletries using bead containers from Hobby Lobby.
lol my name is Sandra and I am going to go zion
Awesome 5 das 😎👍🏻
What was the room number to the room with the medical box😏?
Too baddd you missed the Big Behive.. Lake Louise is absolutely worth hike though..
I couldn’t tell - we’re you rolling your clothes to pack into the cubes ? I like your organizational concept for packing !
Medical box 🤣🤣🤦🏻♀️ that’s insane and I’m not buying it
Right?!? Lol!
