Five Free things to do in Washington D.C.


With a rich history of America's past, Washington D.C. was on my boyfriend, Roody's list of places he wanted to see.  And with a few days till I return to work after the holiday break, we decided on a road trip (14 hours) from Miami to Washington D.C. with a short stop at my brother Garvin's house in Fayetteville, N.C.

We're staying at a hostel in the heart of D.C. with a private room which is totally worth it as we're in walking distance of just about everything there is to see and do in the District.  Today, we saw just about all the known sights in Washington D.C. and with an informative tour provided by our hostel this evening, we learned a lot about the nations capitol and it's history.  Here's how it went:

4 Days in New York


Having lived in New Jersey for more than ten years, I've been to New York many times.  In April, it was my first time going with my relatives, some came as far as from Trinidad and Tobago for the funeral of my grandfather, Oscar Rivers.  It was  a night to remember; the whole gang of us trudging down towards the Path Train into the wee hours of the morning and a quick stop to the 9/11 Memorial.

On this trip however, there was a make-shift itinerary with much to do as we went for CityPasses to six attractions.  We were ready to hit the ground running, landing in New York around 4 pm on July 1st., except they wouldn't land the plane.

Five Things to do at Key Biscayne, Florida




To say that I love the sunshine state is in understatement.  For years, I would dream of 85 degree weather in the winter months in the northern United States.  When I finally made Florida my official home state early in 2012, I thought I would get to enjoy the warm winters and warmer summers finally.  But my move to South Korea, in May 2012 proved other wise.

It hasn't been a whole year since I've been back in the U-S of A and I'm finally ready to see all that the sunny Florida has to offer in terms of things to do and see.
