    26 Nights, Triple Celebration Trip...NYC, RPR & HHN....and Irma has a go...A 2017 Trip

    You can buy those addictive sesame crackers at Trader Joe's for cheap. I don't buy them anymore because they are just so addicting! When I visit cheaper steakhouses, I tend to avoid steak entirely and go for the more bar food fare to avoid steak disappointment :tongue: The Mummy was...

    Funny about Red Lobster. It has a not so great reputation for quality where I'm from (along with Olive Garden), but it's so interesting the things we like when we travel. When my Palestinian friend came to visit last summer, she was all about Chipotle. And when I'm in London, I always want...

    Looks like that green dessert was mocha ice cream! It's green tea ice-cream wrapped in a rice dumpling. They make a ton of flavors - black sesame, strawberry, mango, red bean, etc. It's always a nice touch to the end of a sushi dinner

    Next time you're in NYC, you must go to Quality Meats! I've never had a better steak ever. Plus, it's right around the corner from the Plaza. The champagne bar there is so fun! Went with a friend of mine and we did the same - prosecco and cheese plate Glad he liked it. I've seen it 4 times (3...

    Love your reports! It's been over a year since I moved to NYC and I'm still loving it! So happy to see your NYC portion included in this report.

    Joy to the World: an offsite Christmas extravaganza at Disney, Universal & SeaWorld – Dec. 2016 TR

    Getting caught up now! So sorry to hear that so many fell ill during the trip - such a shame but it's great that you and Steve were still able to enjoy new experiences together. Portofino looks lovely! I didn't see it when I was there but my boyfriend stayed there as a teen and thinks it's the...

    Joy to the World: an offsite Christmas extravaganza at Disney, Universal & SeaWorld – Dec. 2016 TR

    Yay congrats on your new job! I have been on the internship hunt the past few weeks. Got one that should start next week but it's not my ideal company/commute. It's so funny though - I never thought I'd be interning again but I guess that happens when you make a huge career field jump. I laugh...

    Doing July a Whole New Way...

    Love your food pix! PS - that's tabouleh. A parsley-based middle eastern salad. Dressing is usually plain EVOO + lemon :)

    Joy to the World: an offsite Christmas extravaganza at Disney, Universal & SeaWorld – Dec. 2016 TR

    Ooh! I've stayed at an Excellence - the one in Playa Mujeres, Cancun. There's none of the Cancun-y craziness feeling while at the resort. I went with a guy who is now thankfully an ex BUT the resort was super nice. It's jaded for me though :crazy2:

    Christmas looks so festive there! Have you guys been to Busch Gardens? I haven't been to the one in Tampa but have been loads of times to the Williamsburg location and they do a terrific Christmas special there. I imagine they'd do the same in FL!

    If you tried Transformers, I hope you tried Spiderman, too. The latter is an all-time favorite!

    Wow sounds like a doozy. Deicing the plane always makes me a bit nervous and I would've had the same fears about take off amidst the snow. But hooray for an extra day of vacay!

    Safe to say, we're all having issues with drop rates. I have 7 quivers and 4 hats but the most frustrating is when I get no drops overnight - which has happened every morning thus far.

    Double, Double, Toil & Trouble: a Halloween-inspired trip of “two’s” – an October 2016 TR

    Wow that grilled cheese looks good. Looks like they put a crispy cheese layer on the outside of the bread, too! Red Robin's always been a reliable food choice for us and I usually go for a burger - glad to see you've had good experiences there too since your first incident. Curious to know...
