  • Be Sure Your Pets are in Good Hands

    Bellatrix (Trix for short)

    I love to travel, but I always hate leaving my pets. It’s a dilemma that I know a lot of people have, what to do with my pets when I travel.

    I know a lot of people use dog kennels and doggy daycare places or hire someone. There are even apps for it now. But what do you know about these people taking care of your pets? What other pets are they going to encounter?

    I don’t know about you, but my pets are my babies. I can’t entrust them to just anybody. I always leave my cat, Bellatrix, with family or a close family friend, same with my dog. Its people that I know and that my pets know. Not some stranger. My dog, Willie, has some reactivity issues and can not be around dogs he doesn’t know.

    I also will often pet sit for family and friends as well. There is something reassuring knowing that your babies are with people you know and trust, not strangers.

    I always know that my pets will be well taken care of. Its sad to leave them for a couple weeks or even for a couple nights but it’s always great to see them when I get back home. I look forward to seeing them more than anything else.

  • The Adventures Begin

    I turned 29 a couple of months ago and realized I needed a change to my life before I turn 30 next year. I thought a great thing to do for turning 30 would be to go to Japan and view the Cherry Blossoms on my birthday. I have never been that into parties, but I’ve always loved traveling.

    The problem with this was all of my family, that I would normally travel with, have all been very wishy-washy about agreeing to actually go. This disappointed me but I recently realized, even more than just an awesome trip, a bigger change for me would be to save up the money and go myself even if no one else comes with me. Afterall I am 29, I don’t need my family to plan a vacation. Hell, I planned the entire trip my mom and I took to England and Scotland last year.

    I actually had as much fun planning and researching various things to do as I did on the trip itself. I have already started planning Japan, despite still saving up the money for it.

    As a way to ease myself into traveling without my family I am going to Disneyland in September. This is a very easy trip for me to start with as I have been there several times over the years. I even worked there 8 years ago as part of the Disney College Program.

    Now I won’t be completely alone in Disneyland. While I am there, I will be meeting a friend from Australia for the first time in person. She actually helped to encourage me to not only travel for myself, not my family, but also to start this blog of my adventures. She’s also planning to meet up with me in Japan in April too.

    I believe Disneyland will be the first of many incredible adventures to come and I hope you enjoy my journey as much as I plan too.
