Travel Tips and Tricks Episode: 28

Welcome back my fellow Adventurers to another exciting episode of Travel Tips and Tricks! Last week we talked about formal wear rentals on a Carnival Cruise. This week we are going to be talking about bringing your own snorkeling gear when on a cruise or trip. So let’s get started!

When I was a kid my family went to a water amusement park. It was really fun and they even had a place where you could snorkel with small reef sharks. The employees provided us with goggles and a snorkel to swim with. The whole experience was great; however, after returning the equipment the my face started to feel very uncomfortable and had a burning sensation. For those that don’t know, I have sensitive skin. So when my face got that burning sensation I knew I was having a reaction to something that was on the equipment. Thankfully they had showers nearby. I quickly went and rinsed my face off really well. The burning sensation did lessen but it did last for about an hour or so. I had watched earlier while employees were putting the equipment into barrels filled with a disinfectant solution. My family and I quickly realized I had a reaction to the cleaning solution.

So now I always research to see if I can bring my own snorkeling equipment. In most cases, like cruises, I can. However, I don’t know about places like the water amusement park. I know I’m allowed to at the my local water park, cruises, and planes. If you have sensitive skin like I do and can sometimes have a reaction to disinfectant solutions that are used, like the reaction I had to the cleaning solution used on the snorkeling equipment at that water park, then I definitely recommend bringing your own whenever you can. Since I started bringing my own when I travel I haven’t had another reaction.

Well that pretty much wraps up this episode. A new location episode will be released on Thursday and Spirit will be back to wrap up the week on Saturday. I hope this episode helps everyone have a safe and fun time while traveling!

Until next time my 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 ...

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  ðŸ˜‹. 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 ...
