Am I really Michelle if I didn’t visit Disney’s Hawaiian Resort?? Located on the southeastern side of O’ahu Aulani Resort & Spa is Disney’s only Hawaiian property and while we weren’t staying there (cause money) we were at the complex next door, so we paid them a nice, neighborly visit in the form of brunch […]

Middle Eastern Munchies
To wrap up things in the UAE, we took an *abra ride across the Dubai Creek into Deira where we meet up with Frying Pan Adventures for our Middle Eastern food pilgrimage! I’m not very familiar with many Middle Eastern dishes and what is travel worth if you don’t experience the local cuisine?! *Side note: I […]
Lamp Light Love
As the Disney peeps know, Paradise Pier in California Adventure has officially made it’s debut as the newly transformed Pixar Pier!

Try the World (From the Comfort of Your Home!)
Subscription boxes are such an addiction. I mean, who doesn’t like surprising themselves with gifts in the mail that they forgot about?! It really is the latest craze, and I’m all for it.

City Chronicles | Ocean Beach
The spring sunshine has officially graced the Bay Area and freed us from a long, wet winter so of course we celebrated accordingly– with a trip to the beach! Typically when you think of a city all the hustle and bustle comes to mind, but the beauty of being the City by the Bay is […]
New Year, New York!
Time is a freaky, scary thing when you put too much thought into it, and I am not one to voluntarily waste it. I try to grasp every moment that comes my way and I think that is best displayed in my travel itineraries. With five days in New York City (2 of which were partial […]
Food For Thought
Amongst other travel necessities it is always smart to travel with a foodie, and luckily I have one! What is a foodie? They are someone with a keen taste in what’s delicious and where to find it, kind of like your own Buzzfeed article! My long term foodie is Zaneta, and she lived up to […]

My family and I spent our morning at the Storytellers Cafe in Disneyland’s Grand Californian Hotel; a buffet breakfast accompanied by all your forest friends! Characters like Chip & Dale, Kenai & Koda […]
