I went to the Bahamas, and all I got was this blog post

FEELS SO GOOD TO BE BACK! I had an amazing vacation, but nothing beats that familiar feeling in the pit of your stomach when you come home.  Now that I’m back, it’s time to share details and vaycay pics.

Day 1: I woke up extremely early to get ready for the flight, even though everything was packed and ready to go. We arrived at the airport about an hour before the flight, making sure we had enough time to go through airport security. I had gone to the hair salon the night before, and still had the bobby pins in my hair from the wash & set. The pins set off the metal detectors, so I had to go through a vigourous pat down by a burly female security agent 0_0. After dealing with that, I literally ran down to the terminals, to get to our flight. The hour flew by, and soon I was in the air. Landed safe and sound in MIA, and headed to the hotel.

The hotel was nice, albeit creepy. This was our hallway…

Every picture came out this way...

I guess you get what you pay for, and this place was definitely cheap as hell.  On the positive side, it was safe and clean; plus had a pool which we were in ALL day, EVERY day.

Day 2: After sleeping in and swimming all day though, it was time to see what Miami night life had to offer. After hair and makeup were done, it was time to hop in a cab to Collins Ave and get some food and drinks in our system.

Are you stuffed?

Happy belated Thanksgiving guys! I hope your day was as beautiful as mine was. I actually spent most of the day drifting in and out of sleep because I'm still sick; but I was able to throw down on some of my mama's delicious food. There will be a (long overdue) post tomorrow morning, all about my vacation. For now, I'm gonna eat some leftovers, do some online 'Black Friday' shopping and rub some more Vick's on my chest. Ciao!

Vacation

Today I made my grand escape! Headed for a 10 day trip, to Miami and the Bahamas. To say I'm excited is a severe understatement. Despite some slight drama in the beginning, everything is underway. The trip was paid with my own money, and the scrimpin', savin' & going without is worth it. And as terrible as it sounds, me not having enough money to go out and eat really helped me tone down to fit into my bikini...

I haven't gone on vacation in a very long time. Knowing that I'll be getting on a plane in just a few hours is daunting. Our hotel has laptops for use, so I'll try to update for you guys, and there will definitely be a summary with LOTS of pics when I return. The Carribean awaits, and I intend to greet it with open arms. Ciao y'all ♥

Update:
I've arrived, safe & sound!! Despite some unpleasantness with the airline, I'm pleased to be here.  Gonna finish unpacking and lay out by the pool, then go play 'tourist' later on

 

What's my name ;)

I'm not a fan of Rihanna. Not her singing 'voice', her Ronald McDonald knock off wig, her persona... I could go on and on. But, I won't. Instead, I'll give her props. Despite wanting to hate it, her latest single "What's my name?" featuring Drake is stuck in my head. In the spirit of being nice, I'll share the video without making fun of it LOL

Transition

Change is all around us right now. Change of seasons, change from daylight savings, and for me: the transition to a fully independent adult. Within the next month, I'll be  moving out of my parents' house and into my own place. Truth be told, I have mixed feelings about it. On the one hand, I feel mature enough to live away while taking care of all my grown folk issues. And I'm more than delighted at the prospect of not having to "watch my tone" any longer. 

Song of the Day -- 'Bohemian Rhapsody'

Throwback time. This song has been playing in my head for a week now, and I felt like it was time to share. Enjoy :)

It's one of those songs which has such a fantasy feel about it. I think people should just listen to it, think about it, and then make up their own minds as to what it says to them... "Bohemian Rhapsody" didn't just come out of thin air. I did a bit of research although it was tongue-in-cheek and mock opera. Why not?
