Kalesha's LA Vacay

I was scrolling though Facebook and saw my bestie Kalesha posted some pics of herself in L.A.  so I definitely had to catch up with her to see about her L.A. vacay.







Where did you go/places visited?

 Kalesha: I went to LA. It was my 3rd time going but my very 1st going out of GA or FL with just my mother and sister so it was an awesome and special trip. We went to the city of LA, Downtown LA, Malibu, Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Burbank(our hotel was there), Hollywood, North Hollywood, and Westwood areas. The places we went to were Rodeo Drive, Griffith Observatory, Hollywood Walk of Fame, The Grove, Beverly Center, Malibu Beach,  and Downtown LA/Staples Center area.




Girls trip, family trip, couples or single trip?

Kalesha: Girls trip! 😊

Did you visit any famous landmarks?

Kalesha: Yes going to the Hollywood Walk of Fame and seeing the Hollywood sign from the Griffith Observatory was so worthwhile! Plus they're both free to the public! Can't beat that! 





Best experience?

Kalesha: Best experience was spending time with my mom and sister to be honest. It was fun to do a vacation with just them. BUT, one experience that truly stands out is that I saw Michael B Jordan while we were on Rodeo! I'm a huge fan and to see him was so epic! I was over the moon! If only we weren't both in cars, going the opposite direction. 😮😮😑😑 

Worst experience?

Kalesha: The worst was probably the strange and unpredictable traffic. It did get better on the weekend, but it was still crazy.  We rented a car and I'm glad we did because we drove all over. 




Most surprising?

Kalesha: Most surprising was the vibe there. It gets a little pretentious near Rodeo and Beverly Hills, but truly most of the people were friendly, funny, and just really warm. 

What didn't you do you wish you did?

Kalesha: I wish the weather was a little warmer because we didn't get in the water when we went to Malibu. It was a little too cold. 

Would you go back

Kalesha: Without a doubt!



How was the food?

Kalesha: Super good! We went to so many restaurants that my mom pre-planned prior to going LOL! We ate at the local In -N-Out Burger but then we also at Il Pastaio which was a nice Italian eatery on Rodeo which  was super good and the ambience was great. We went to other restaurants as well.

Three Day Bahamas Cruise

Image
I went on a three day cruise to Nassau on Carnival with my family. This was a short trip but very enjoyable. Carnival is known as the "family cruise" everyone and their children and grandparents were on this ship. One benefit of traveling on a cruise is the all you eat food option. On this cruise I was not impressed with the food options at the buffet stations and the lines were very long. Also, only certain food stations were available at certain times. I preferred the sit down dinner at the dining hall over the "all you can eat" buffet stations.  We sailed from Port Canaveral, Florida Thursday night and arrived in Nassau Friday around noon. The down fall about this three day cruise was we were only in Nassau for about 6 hours. After the excursion we booked we didn't have much time to walk around the island and shop. Before boarding the ship View from the deck Discover Atlantis My mother, daughter, and I went...

Study Abroad Iceland Part 2

Image
Part 2 of Javon's study abroad experience in Iceland. He discusses his overall experience and most importantly the food. I had a hard time selecting pictures since all of the pictures he sent me were amazing. How was the flight? I flew from Atlanta at 3pm to New York. My flight was delayed 5 hours; I left New York at 11pm and  landed in Iceland at 9am the next day. When I returned I flew into Minneapolis before arriving back in Atlanta. First thought when getting off the plane. It was cold and rainy. The airport was very small. There were a lot of tourists coming into the country. Customs was not really there. Best experience. The entire trip was a great experience.  Worst experience. Everything is really far apart from each other. We spent almost half of our days travelling on charter buses, but we did get to sight-see a lot of the island nation. Most surprising. They spoke English better than most Americ...

Living Your Best Life In Europe and Africa

Image
One of the ways I try to live my best life is by traveling, but due to the way my life is set up (working, mothering, adulting) I don't get out that much (for now). I like to live my travel dreams vicariously through others. My cousin and his wife recently had the opportunity to travel to Europe and Africa for a few months. I'm not sure if it is possible to summarize their extensive trip, but that didn't stop me from asking my cousin a few questions about his experience. Where did you go/places visited? 2 weeks - London, Amsterdam, Rome, Cinque Terre. 3 months - Lagos,  Nigeria  About 4 days - Accra, Ghana 2 weeks after- about 1 week in South Africa (Johannesburg, Cape Town, the garden route) and about 5 days in Swakopmund, Namibia. How was the flight?  The flight going there wasn't too bad.  We had to stop in London anyway, so we made a trip out of it and stayed in Europe for 2 weeks before continuing on to Nigeria. I believ...
