Disney Trip
Thursday is our EPCOT day and that means that Friday is our Hollywood Studios day. That does mean that I am anticipating slightly more crowds than we are going to have dealt with the rest of the week. But we will of course be getting Genie+ again and taking advantage of single rider lines. And obviously doing rope drop again, because I really hate lines. The park opens at 9AM and closes at 9PM and we will be doing the whole 12 hour park day.

Hello! So I am far from a Disney blogger or influencer but I have a Universal Hollywood season pass and I am about to be in Orlando for a week doing both Universal and Disney. So I thought I would walk through my plans so that I can do a proper review of the trip as it's happening. Now I am a planner so everything down to our food and booze is cataloged and color coded on a spreadsheet. We are landing Saturday and spending Sunday in Disney Springs. So here are our detailed Disney Springs plans.

Our first real stop in Florida will be Universal studios. My father got us tickets for 2 days but a special was happening so we really have 5 day park hopper tickets. We definitely won’t be using all of the days but I have a schedule for the 2 full days that we will be using, plus the halfday for horror nights. So we are going to take this day by day and I will go ahead and preface this with; our Universal days are going to be much more relaxed then our Disney days if for no other reason then we are season passholders to Hollywood and I have no problem spending two whole days in the Harry Potter section of the park.

Our first Disney day will be in Epcot. This is arguably going to be the earliest day of the whole vacation because Guardians of the Galaxy is still on a virtual queue system. To add insult to injury we are not staying on property so I will be waking up around 6AM to get myself some food, get us to EPCOT, join the virtual queue by 7AM and make it to rope drop by 9. So that is how our day will be starting.

Our first day in Universal studios is super packed but we will then return to the hotel for a good night's sleep to rise and shine nice and early all over again. The second day is going to be entirely Harry Potter centric so it will be a little more relaxed. I wanted to make sure that we have time to hit up all of the shops and things, and I am bringing my wand so I had to make sure I had time to do some magic as well.

Introduction I spent four days in Glasgow in Citizen M with Fiona for a break from everyday life and work. I often go to Edinburgh but this was the first time in Glasgow for a very long time. This is going to be a very haphazard piece with random observations and photographs (do we still call them photographs?) from the time I was there.

Almost all countries are finally open for tourism! I hope that in 2023 you can safely travel to some new places in our beautiful world. We'll begin with the Portuguese island of Madeira, located in Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Africa. Madeira is often called the Hawaii Europe, because the island was born of volcanic origins. If you love hiking or just relaxing on the beach, Madeira is the place for you. Punta du Sol is a great place for swimming. There is no sand, only smooth Boulders, but the ocean is amazing to swim in. A great place to go cliff jumping is Pico de Arriero, one of the tallest points on the island. The elevation is so high up until you will often be in or above the clouds. The hiking there is a sight to see. The trails are so well maintained, you get some of the most phenomenal views. Pico Dugato is nice if you're up for an adventure.
My Journey To Finding Success
Living abroad can be a daunting experience, but it can also be one of the most rewarding. For me, my journey to finding success while living abroad began when I met my wife in Cambodia. We found stability together and started building a life in this beautiful country.
