Quest of the Phoenix 2017 (9)
I didn’t sleep too well, thanks to a combination of lingering coffee (which, of course, I’d needed to get through my Vanishing Point-esque marathon) and whatever is the car equivalent of jet lag. But I figured it would be enough. Had a nice, big, fat continental breakfast with extra coffee; studied my route for the day; the usual. After checking out and loading my stuff into the car, I called my dad again, since he wanted to know that I was okay, etc., and also to vicariously relive his own various trips out West back when Route 66 was still Route 66.

Walt Disney World Orlando
As someone who has visited Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida four times now, I consider myself somewhat of an expert, as do other people. I find myself constantly giving advice, directions and have even been mistaken as a cast member a few times.

Scuba diving is one of those activities that really give people a new perspective on the world around them. With the right setting, divers get to see fish up close and gain a glimpse of what like life is like underneath the sea.

To Yorkshire with Love
Yorkshire offers a variety of attractions to the pedestrian historian. The county's lineage is full of Vikings and Romans, Normans and Tudors. Whatever era strikes your fancy there is something for everyone. I, myself, am a literature nerd and knew that no excursion to the North would be complete without visiting the Brontë Parsonage.

While in Boston
Boston: birthplace of the American Revolution. If you ever visit this beloved city, you will be in awe within a matter of hours! I recently visited Boston and fell in love immediately. Being my first visit, I wasn't sure exactly how to go about seeing some of the most historic sights Boston has to offer. Lucky for me, the clerk at the hotel I stayed at suggested I take the "Olde Towne Trolley Tour". This trolley takes you around the city for about 40 dollars a person and also includes a water boat cruise on the harbor. The trolley makes numerous stops along the way and at each stop you can choose to get off and simply just get back on at any given time. Pretty cool, eh? Out of all the stops the trolley makes, I came up with a top ten of places to visit. Enjoy!

Cold Jitters – Inside Rome’s Unique Ice Bar
Rome is home to some of Europe’s top nightlife. From the Gilda in downtown Rome to the Akab in the more rural area of the city, the after hours scene in Italy’s capital is as diverse as they come. However, one bar, in particular, is going to the opposite degree in order to waver attention.

Most Expensive Hotels on the West Coast
Traveling in style has always been in vogue, and these days, the competition for being the most lavish hotel in America has never been more extreme. Nowadays, resting in the lap of a luxury hotel or resort takes many different forms — including the hyper luxury form.

A Rose in Nara
I was breathless. Sitting next to Seini in the back seat of the Nakagawa family car, I saw Japan in a way my friends back home would never experience. We passed homes and businesses, bicyclists and walkers, business men and students. We were leaving Sakurai High School where our host sister Chinami attended. We were on our own, the rest of the group was on their way to their own host family.
