Travel Tips and Tricks Tuesday!




    Hi everyone! It is time for our first episode of Travel Tips and Tricks. These episodes will be posted every Tuesday from now on. My hope is that these tips and tricks will help you like they have helped me when traveling. In this episode I am covering attractions/excursions that require you to wear a helmet; such as, zip-lining or bike riding.

    Chances are you won’t have your own personal helmet from home and the staff will provide you one that has been worn by a lot of other people. The staff most likely sanitizes the helmets after every use, but there are still risks and smells. Especially if, like me, you have sensitive skin.

    Thankfully, a good friend of mine told me of a trick to add a bit of protection. My friend is a Diamond member with Carnival Cruise Lines. For those that don’t know what a Diamond Member is, it is a statues you earn after completing 200 or more cruise days. So as you can see my friend is well traveled. My mom and I were planning a cruise and one of our excursions would require us to wear helmets. When I was explaining our trip to my friend, she suggested wearing a bandana on our heads when wearing the helmets. Mainly so our hair wouldn’t stink from the helmets, but thinking about it now the bandana did more than just prevent my hair from being smelly. It protected my hair and scalp from any lingering germs and harsh chemicals that might have otherwise damaged my hair and irritated my scalp.


    So next time you are planning a trip and one of the attractions/excursions you want to go on requires helmets, I highly recommend bringing a bandana for your head. They are fairly cheap and can be purchased almost anywhere.

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 ...

      Welcome back my fellow Adventures! I hope you enjoyed the latest episode of Travel Tips and Tricks Tuesday. I know all of you are wondering where we are going this week. 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. They do offer different prices for seniors, kids, and military as well. The ferry ride takes about an hour to get to the Island. Get to the port early to get a good seat.

Prices for food, drinks, snacks, lounger and umbrella rentals, and souvenirs really isn't that bad.      Th...

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 ...
