Travel Tips and Tricks Tuesday Episode 4

 

    Welcome back my fellow Adventures! It is once again time for another episode of Travel Tips and Tricks Tuesday! This week we will cover luggage weight. Now if you are driving to where ever you are traveling, then you won't have to worry too much about how much your suitcase weighs. However, if you are flying to your destination, or going on a cruise, or both then there will be restrictions on your luggage weight. I hope this tip will help.

    Depending on which airline and cruise line you decide to travel with the restrictions might be different; however, from my research and personal experiences I have discovered the average weight limit for a suitcase is approximately 50lbs. These restrictions are placed so that those in charge of loading and unloading your suitcase can still be able to lift it. Now I know trying to figure out the weight of your suitcase can be a real hassle, but it doesn't have to be.

    While out shopping for a cruise my mom and I discovered something that made checking the weight of our suitcases rather easy. We discovered a portable luggage scale. All we had to do once our suitcases were packed was hook the handle to the scale and then use the scale to lift the suitcase off the floor. It was literally that simple to use. Just place the handle of your suitcase on the hook of the scale and then lift the suitcase off the ground using the scale. Then look at the scale while the suitcase is up in the air to get the weight reading.

    Both my mom and I were able to make sure our suitcases were under the 50lbs limit and able to board the cruise ship with no problem. I highly recommend getting one of those portable suitcase scales. They are sold online and at most retail stores that also sell luggage. The price varies between approximately $10-$20 depending on brand and where you buy it. Completely worth it though. Hope this helps you out.

    Until next time!

Woody’s Roadside Bar and Grill

Image
One of the restaurants where my family likes to eat is Woody’s Roadside Bar and Grill located on Highway 605/ Lorraine Rd. I’ve been to this restaurant multiple times and not once have I ever had bad service. All the employees are super nice and upbeat, and the food is amazing. My mom normally gets the chicken strips and fries while I get the pulled pork sandwich, fries, and sweet potato fries. The sweet potato fries, in my opinion, are absolutely addictive. 😋 I normally can’t finish all of mine, but that is ok because I take it home for leftovers to put in my lunch box for the next time I work at my part-time job.     I highly recommend eating here if you have the chance. The atmosphere is fun, the staff and food is amazing. It is a little loud in the restaurant so if you are looking for some place a little quieter, then this may not be for you. For the guys that want to watch the game while they eat, there are plenty of TVs. Some are in the dining area and more ...

Well, this is more like an announcement, because I personally won't be going till its warmer. However, for those that want to go to a really great beach in this cooler weather the Ship Island Excursions Ferry is opening back up for the season! Starting tomorrow, Friday, March 21, the ferry will start taking people back to Ship Island.     Tickets start at $44 for adults.

Samurai Japanese Cuisine, Sushi Grill, and Bar

Image
            Hi everyone, today we are taking a trip to Samurai Japanese Restaurant. It is a small restaurant located on Sangani Blvd, across the stree from the Wal-Mart Supercenter in D'Iberville, MS. The atmosphere of the restaurant, though small, is very quiet and relaxing with relaxing music playing quietly in the background.     Once seated your server brings out hot towel to clean your hands, which is a great touch. Especially in the winter when even just 2 minutes outside and your fingers will be ice cold. Then once you're ready the server will take your order. My mom and I only waited about 5 minutes and the server brought out our soups, salad, and spring rolls. They were served hot and delicious  😋. Then about 5 minutes later our food arrived. Nice, hot, and delicious 😋. I had the chicken and steak hibachi meal and my mom had the chicken hibachi.      This restaurant does not have the show where the hibachi chef ...
