Passion For Travel

If you are wondering why in the world are they posting so many pictures from their previous road trips and vacations.... well... there is actually a reason.

I've been trying to narrow down how to use my passion for travel and researching new hotels, excursions, areas, beaches, mountains, retreats, and cities... etc.... 

Long story, short. I want to become a travel blogger. I am trying to gain a following and learn what others do, and why, through social media and online. Learn how to partner with hotels, cruise ships, restaurants and excursions so we can have a mutual experience. 

Like I said, that's the long story short. I know I don't know a lot of things, and I also know that there are a million things I don't even know what I don't know. 

If you know something I should know please share it. I would love some input as far as what you like to read about, what's helpful, what's funny, and even what to stay away from. Things like

    We love the beach and travel. I only wish we could go more often! On road trips with little ones we liked to travel in the early early morning or late late evenings. We would drive and the kids would sleep (as it is dark out) the kids would wake up to the sun rise and we would be close/closer to the vacation destination of choice. Happy Wandering and may you always find your way back home!

      We don't get to go enough either! I would go to the beach every weekend if I could. We have never tried driving late late at night, but we have done real early and it was a great way to "cut off" some of the travel time.

    There are all kinds of travel. Local, international, by plane, bus or car. By yourself or with family.
    I think the one thing you should leave at home is your expectations. We tend to make mental pictures of what it should look like. Instead, pack a desire enjoy the ride and the time to spend with love ones, self or give yourself the opportunity to meet new people.
    What a great new adventure! Make your way to Peru while we are here :)

      I love this advice! YES! As much as I like to research and know what the hotel will be like, what the temps are, where the locals eat. I love just going with the flow! There are so many restaurants, excursions and hotels I don't get to on each adventure....it just means I need to come back again!!!!!
      We are only disappointed if we focus on what we perceive we missed instead of what we actually got to experience! Enjoy the ride!

Buying a Boat Part 1

Image
We love to travel and road trip. Each place we go we would love to get on the lake, ocean or local wet spot! So we were discussing what we should do? Go camping and buy a canoe? Buy a ski boat and camp? We aren't able to afford the catamaran we want yet and sail. Nor do we have anywhere to keep it.... we live in Texas y'all. There isn't a way to sail to the Caribbean here.... so we wanted something that we can take with us on our road trips. Jolene made a random comment about just dropping anchor and camping in the boat...... Hm.... we never even considered buying a smaller cruiser. Once we started looking at what was available we quickly knew this was a great option for our stage of life, and budget. We searched all over. We went late at night to see two boats, even keeping the kids up super late to go look at a boat. (We are known for getting our kids in bed real early, so this was a shock to most people we know) Even going to eat dinner at 10 pm after seeing a bo

Clearwater Beach Excursion: Captain Memo's Pirate Cruise

Image
This was by far the best excursion we did with the kids in Clearwater!  Captain Memo's Pirate Cruise. We weren't sure about it at first, because it was more expensive than other excursion. Which is you are staying in Clearwater, no need to plan anything ahead of time, just walk down the the marina across from Pier 60 and walk the deck to see which excursion you and your family would like. We did a dolphin cruise as well, and plan on going back to take a cruiser out on our own, which the offer. But if you are one that likes to plan ahead, click on the link above and book your cruise!    As you board the ship they will take your family photo, which they offer to you in a frame at the end of the cruise for $25, it's a little pricey, but just get it. I am so grateful for that awesome pirate frame and my family photo!  The crew's shipmates are in character the entire cruise and even yell speeches at you while waiting to board.  Once on board there a

Clearwater Florida

Clearwater Florida One of American's number one beaches! It is our family favorite beach to date!  We will have a few posts about this adventure, including the hotel we stayed at and why, the places we ate, the excursion we went on and the beach/area of Clearwater Beach.  Let's start with the hotel. We stayed at the Hilton Clearwater Beach Hotel and Spa Clearwater Beach Hilton Hotel & Spa The hotel has been newly renovated and sits right on the beach, with private beach access and just down the street from pier 60. This is the main reason we stayed at this hotel. We were looking for beach access as our number one priority. We truly fancy Marriott hotels, more about that in another post, but this time Hilton had the best beach access and location for our travels.  When you walked downstairs the hotel you come to either the pool on the left or the beach in front of you. The view of the beach is just spectacular, it's picture perfect. You see the bar
