Lists of the best of all things travel: A roundup of the world's best vacation hotspots, rugged backpacking adventures and instructions to prepare for the trip of a lifetime.
Universal Trip
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.

shawn davisPublished 7 months ago in WanderMotorhome Features Vary Drastically; Create a Wish List Before Shopping
When my husband suggested upgrading our motorhome, I shook my head and my heart jumped a beat. Our 2005 40-foot Monaco was a beauty; she and I had a bond. However once I started looking at newer models of the Tiffin, I felt my heart beat faster. Amazed at what they offered, I started to think Randy had a good idea. We started shopping. So much for that bond. If you are in the market for a RV, begin by making a list of wants and needs. Then align that list with what is available and the price you are willing to pay before beginning your search. Be careful not to be enticed to buy more than you need - or can afford. In our case, we has several criteria. Our ideal list had a want and a need column. We wanted a shorter motorhome to increase where we could venture and ease of mobility. Our fear was that smaller would jeopardize some of our wants. To be satisfied we wanted a queen size bed to accommodate two adults and two dogs, adequate storage space inside and out, a large fridge and a booth dining arrangement. We walked into many brands and styles but each left us thinking if only . . . The more we searched the longer our list grew because we fell in love with each new feature. The thought of waking up on a cold morning and cuddling in front of a fireplace excited me. Randy dreamed of using the automated leveling system. We both loved the curved u-shaped couch. Then we walked up the step of a Tiffin Open Road Allegro. It filled our dream list and more. It was hard to say goodbye to "The Beast," our pet name for the Monaco, but we have never been happier with a purchase. We discovered features we didn't even know we wanted. For instance, Dagney has her own window to observe the world as we move down the road. Randy claims the window provides a view of the blind spot from the driver's seat, but I believe it is a puppy window.
