Blackpool - 2012
England’s very own Las Vegas. Although, I’m pretty sure the famous Elvis song wasn’t ‘Viva Las Blackpool’. Anyway, I ventured to Blackpool recently for my annual birthday trip. We go to Blackpool every year, yet I’m still in love with the lights, the thrills and yes… even the sandy shoes at the end of the holiday. Something about Blackpool just sets off a spark within me. A firework feeling that ignites my very soul. Maybe it’s the nostalgia, or maybe I just love the feeling it gives me?

The Hike From Hell That Ended Up Being All Worth It
So let me give you some insight into my life: my idea of taxing physical exertion is having to get up from my couch to walk over to the kitchen, grabbing a bag of chips and walking back over to the couch where I snuggle back into the spot I will call home for the next 1 or 8 hours.

New York Truths, Lies and Subways
New York City. It's a place you feel like you know well even before you get on your first subway. The thing is, expectations rarely ever match reality and that was my experience all over when I visited New York City for the first time.

What do you see in Mallorca?
You can fly to Majorca with the Travel Agency or you can arrange the trip yourself. Of course, as always, both solutions will have their supporters and opponents. From the entry about the Hotel you already know that we organized our trip by ourselves. So how to organize a trip to Majorca? And more importantly, what to see in Mallorca? This entry will be on the bank long, because although I tried very hard to limit the number of photos, I have the impression that on average it worked out. But it's only because these frames are just necessary here. They will say more than a thousand words.

Daytona Beach
Daytona Beach, Florida, known throughout the world for its history in racing, has blossomed over the years to feature many more options, especially for the less auto-minded among us, such as myself. Located in Volusia County, it is a beautiful area and boasts diversity in its activities. First, I would like to gush about the oaks. Tall and majestic, these trees are in every yard, blocking the residents from the harsh rays of the southern sun. I find them to be truly beautiful though. Wonderfully green with thick trunks and branches, Spanish Moss hangs from them like beige clouds. I find the combination breathtaking.

Christmas In Mexico
Stop #2 Mazatlan! We docked, right up to shore on Christmas Eve. As someone who enjoys either rain or snow around Christmas-time the initial warmth and sunlight was a little disappointing. The tan I left with, however, was not. And no matter where we spent it I got to spend Christmas Eve with my family. Mazatlan truly had something for everyone, mom and I wanted to go shopping, my future sister-in-law really wanted tacos and we all wanted to hit the beach, we got to check all the things off of our lists. (The picture is of my Brotherman and his beautiful future fiance!)

Hiking to scenic Iceberg Lake and Ptarmigan Tunnel
Iceberg Lake has got to be one of my favorite hikes in all of Glacier National Park. This little gem is neatly tucked away in a mountain cirque, causing it to not get much sunlight during the day. You will often see blocks of ice that have slid off of steep cliffs surrounding the lake, and they float in the water as little icebergs. Even on a summer day, you can sometimes see over a dozen ice chunks covering the glassy lake surface. It is one of the coolest and most unique scenes in the Park!
