Travel Tips and Tricks Episode: 9 Identification

  


  Welcome back my fellow Adventurers to another exciting episode of Travel Tips and Tricks. Last week we talked about how handy small travel bottles can be. This week we are discussing the importance of identification and keeping it on you while traveling. So without further adieu lets get started.

    Having your ID with you is very important whether you are just going around town or traveling. So always make sure your ID and passport are up to date. If you are driving to your destination, then make sure you also have your vehicle insurance up to date as well. The reason for that is because if you get pulled over and neither is up to date you're going to be in bigger trouble then you already were. If you break down or something else happens you will need an up to date ID and insurance. 

    If you are on a cruise, it is a requirement to have a valid ID or passport (not expired) just to board the ship. You need it to get off the ship when docked at any location. You need it to even get back on the ship at any location. Plus if you are late getting back to the ship and it leaves without you, you'll need your valid ID or passport, phone, and some way to make payments in order to either fly to the next port on your cruise route or fly back home. If you leave any of that on the ship or they are expired, you are basically up the creek without a paddle.

    My mom and I almost made that mistake on a cruise when we docked in Costa Maya. But my mom got a feeling and we hurried back to our room to get our IDs. We almost didn't make it to the meet point for our excursion. The meet up point was right on the other side of an ID and passport check point. Thankfully we had went back to get our IDs or we wouldn't have been able to get to our excursion at all.

    So moral of the story is, keep IDs, passports, and insurance up to date and on your person when traveling. You never know when you'll need it and why you'll need it. I hope this helps. 

    Until next time fellow Adventurers.

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 ...

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 ...
