  • The Positives of Local Travel

    Borders and restrictions are slowly opening up from the recent events, but leisure travel is still a bit of a question mark for our family. It’s a personal decision as we don’t want to expose our little one to the virus, and don’t want to get sick either. So what is there to do in these times to quell the wanderlust of a travel-loving family? The solution: local travel. Happiness with New Experiences A few weeks passed since the original outbreak shut down businesses and travel, my family has been just isolating at home.

  • Orlando Chocolate Kingdom

    Orlando’s Chocolate Kingdom (Review)

    On a recent Expedia activities deal, Peter and I decided to use the lucrative Expedia coupon ($25 off $30) for a tour to Chocolate Kingdom. Because why not, right? It was an activity we haven’t been before and who doesn’t want to sample chocolate? What’s Chocolate Kingdom?
