Sophisticated Leigh: Where to???

Hello,

This is my experience when it's comes to traveling I am not a professional! I hope you enjoy!

Traveling! When you hear the word travel, what comes in mind?

Travel can mean a lot of things; it can be work related, going out of town for an event, vacation, seeing family, the list go on and on. You can travel in state, out of state, and out of the country. Everyone can relate to this because we have travel from one distance to another. We can have a fun experience or not, planning for a long time or a short period of time. We all have our ways when it comes to traveling!

Transportation: Transportation can be the biggest headache or not. Depend on how you are traveling; in the air, on the road, in the water. Making sure you have everything that is need it before taking off.

Now, road trips are fun! Only thing you need to worry is, the vehicle; making sure everything is good, its best to rent a car, if you don't feel comfortable taking your own car on the road, specially if you don't want to put too much miles on your vehicle. But it's money to put out. Now if you want to take your vehicle, which is easy, make sure everything is up to speed. Have your insurance card, and road assistance information. If you call your insurance company they will provide road assistance for you.

When I was a little girl, my family was big on road trips. I love them. 😍 We had an RV, before my father sold it. We travel in the RV, after the RV was sold, we use my father truck to go on family vacations. RV was fun, because everything on inside it, but for a truck, it wasn't too much fun because it was a lot of us, so it was a lot of luggage to fill inside and outside of the vehicle.

😒😩🙂😄

When you do road trip, you exploring a lot of places when driving from point A to point B. If you haven't done so, I say YES to ROAD TRIP😁😍😘.

I have taken a bus to travel but not a train, (I have taken subway many times for school, events, but not for traveling) which I will love to experience someday just for fun. Taking a bus to travel is fun. I have done a Greyhound plenty of times, I have no problem with it, it's easy, and cheaper.

Flying high in the sky! Flying is everyone favorite transportation that don’t mind flying. I believe everyone should try it, but if you are not able to, as health reasons and/or anxiety then you do you. When it comes to flying, it is a lot to prepare, but once you have everything on track it's a breeze. When it comes purchasing your flight, the time of the flight, getting your boarding pass, if you doing a one way or round trip, your destination, the airline, will it be an overlay, delays, baggage fee (start from $25), what to pack, what not to pack, get there 2 hours early, check in bags, bringing a personal bag, and carry on bag (its free), what gate to go to, is my flight on time or not so much to plan a and do, how FUN!

I'm the type of person, I do not like bringing a lot of luggage. I can bring a personal bag, and a carry on bag, or a large suitcase (depend on the trip). I bring a personal bag and a carry on bag, and check my carry on bag at the desk (gate) where my flight will be at. Bring some snacks for the flight, and relax.

I know some will get worried when they go to an airport and don't know where to go. It's okay, you can ask the workers there to assistance you on anything that you need help with. Not only that, the airport is good displaying everything that you need to find as in: your airline, where to go to print your boarding pass, check in luggage, claim baggage, and many more things.

Get there 2 or 3 hours early, YES! TSA (security) area depend on the time your flight is, will be busy.

Being on the plane, to me it feel like I'm on a roller coaster (not really a fan to roller coaster, but I don’t mind being on one) once we are in the air, it don't feel like it no more. One thing I can't stand is EAR POPPING! When the flight take off, and when it land. I hate the feeling of my ear popping. I will bring music (I use my old phone), book app (I learn my lesson, making sure all books I want to read is downloaded on my phone. I did download one book but I finish it, and I have nothing else to read on the flight 😏😐) watch TV on the flight, and sleep.

Traveling with a group of people; family, friends, or club group.

Please plan on things to do way in advance, so it won't be a struggle to see what is there, to where ever you are going. Have fun!, stress, argument FREE.

Traveling can mean so much. I don't know if it me or you might have experience when the special day come, time kind go little slow. Sleeping, be hard to do before the special day. Packing is so much fun! How many times do you pack before the big day comes? When do you pack, two days, a week, the night before?!

I always make a list, and I check it 2 or 3 times making sure I have everything.

I will do a cruise if I am going out of the country because a cruise, I am able to travel different areas for certain time period. I haven't been on one yet, but that is my plan!

Travel agencies comes in handle. They help you out with good deals and many more. Help you out, when you need it.

Budget! That top all the things when it comes to traveling!!!!
You have to have money, doesn't matter how much, as long you have enough getting there and especially heading back. Don't go too crazy with your money because once you come back from getting out of town, reality will hit.

.....Now, to my mini story......

This past week, I went to Las Vegas. I stay there for four nights and five days for a birthday celebration. We went to Ronald Reagan Airport had a overlay in Chicago for an hour. From Chicago to Las Vegas. The flight from Chicago to Las Vegas was 3 hours because of the time zone. Chicago is hour behind, and Las Vegas is 3 hours behind.

Four nights and five days, is more enough time to stay in Las Vegas or any place. If it's out the country, then staying in that country a little longer will do.

Will I go back to Las Vegas?

Yes I will! There is so much too do there. Have fun but not too much.

Las Vegas has a Las Vegas Pass. Where you pick a Day. Throughout the day or days, you are able to explore Las Vegas and save a lot of money!!!!

I didn't purchase a Las Vegas Pass when I was there, but next time I will.

It is a DESERT out there. (laughing) Yes, it is HOT, 100 degree and more.

Sunscreen, and water please. There is a lot of walking there, so bring tennis shoe(s). It's 3 hour behind, well for me, because I live in Maryland, it's kind of hard to keep up the time in Vegas.
Now, being my first time visiting Las Vegas, my body is so use to Maryland time zone, that it felt like it was 7:00 p.m. but it was exactly 4:00 p.m., YES! Sleeping pattern is going to be off, but let it be because I am on vacation.

Big shining lights an a city that never sleeps it is so true!

We were able to walk the strip night and day. Yes, it was a group of us, so everyone kind did their own thing. We did meet up for dinner, and celebrate BIRTHDAY GIRL BIRTHDAY!!! We stay at the Golden Nugget, where old Las Vegas is at. The hotel had a nice pool with a aquamarine. Check the video and pictures. It have a slide that went inside the aquamarine. It was fun! It was quick, the line wasn't but the slide was! The Jacuzzi wasn't hot, it was lake warm my first time getting in, but later on it was little cold. When you are is a desert, you better be glad the water have some coldest in it. The 3rd level had a adult only pool and bar. I didn't go into to see how it looks. It might have been a similar scenery, with a pool, and a little bar area. For the adults to chill.
