I've been fortunate to visit three countries - Venezuela, England, and Scotland, and there are many more on my dream vacation list. If Chris and I had the money, we would go on a huge overseas vacation! In high school, our combined Orchestra was invited through an International program to visit Venezuela for ten days. Since I played the Oboe and was second chair in the Orchestra, I got to go, and it was a trip I'll never forget. In pairs, we stayed with host families and every day, we traveled to a different high school around Caracas to meet the students and play a short concert. Remind me some day to tell you more about it! After my Senior Year at MSU, I did a five-week Overseas Study program for credit towards my degree in English Lit. I did the Shakespeare program, lived in a dorm at Regent's College in Westminster, saw Ian McKellen do Richard the III at the Royal National Theatre, went to Stratford to see A Comedy of Errors, and discussed Shakespeare with my fellow … [Read more...]
Fall in the City Shopping Package in Branson MO
This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Geile Leon. All opinions are 100% mine. I'm heading to Chicago today for a two day blogger event!

The Fall in The City Package, which requires a two-night minimum stay, gives you two tickets on the Showboat Branson Belle for dinner and the show, two … [Read more...]
Have excellent Lands’ End suitcase, will travel
Before I left for BlogHer, Land's End sent me their FlightWise 22" Carry-on Upright rolling suitcase. It's sized to fit in the overhead bin of a plane, and comes with a heavy plastic zippered bag with 6 refillable plastic containers that meet all the TSA guidelines. The outside pockets include a padded laptop pocket and there are two zippered pockets inside. Okay, so that's the official info, now here's my take on this bag - if you are going anywhere on an airplane, I highly, highly recommend this bag. I stuffed it full of four days' worth of clothes, two pairs of shoes, the TSA liquids bag, another makeup and products bag, and my laptop, and it was easy to roll and maneuver and surprisingly easy to get in and out of the overhead bin on the planes. The bag: The bag stuffed with everything I took to BlogHer: The laptop pocket: I was surprised how easy the bag was to maneuver through the airports and also how easy it was to get it in and out of the overhead … [Read more...]
