ATMs that Dispense $10 Bills??
Top 10 Travel Tips
I haven't done a Top 10 Thursday in a while and it's perfect timing for this.
Here are my Top 10 travel tips. Feel free to add yours.
- Triple check your printed reservations for dates, scheduled arrival/departure times, room type, etc. It's easier to correct a mistake within the first 24 hours.
- Copy all itineraries & confirmations on color paper and keep a copy in all travel bags. The colored paper makes for quick & easy locating.
- Leave copies of said itineraries with a few trusted individuals. I always leave my manager a copy. She'd come to my rescue quicker than my family would.
- Triple check the websites for do's & don'ts - baggage/carry-on & weight limits, hotel/rental car check in/out times, etc.
- Overnight stays times 2 equals the amount of underwear you might want to pack.
- If you still use camera film (non-digital), do not send unprocessed film thru airport security's x-ray machine. You will be sorry if you do. (Still fuming about Orlando 2000...*dammit*)
- Pack travel chargers - cell phone, blue tooth, batteries, sex toys (lol), etc.
- Arrive at the airport at least one (1) hour early & have someone go with you if you're afraid your bag is overweight or if you're unsure if you have contraband. That way, they can take the excess crap back with them & you save $50 for a heavy bag charge and they don't pitch your $9.00 bottle of lotion.
- Check in with friends/loved ones upon arrival.
- HAVE A FREAKIN' BLAST!

My "Dream" Wedding
Every so often, like last night, I have this recurring dream about my wedding. Keep in mind, even tho I've been proposed to on a few occasions, I've never been married. The dream is always the same & the only thing that changes are the children, who obviously grow up. I can even see Mama & Muda sitting on the front row, but now they have this almost angelic glow.
The dream always starts with me & my friends in the basement of my church getting dressed, hair, make-up, etc. There's a lot of laughter & even more tears.
We go thru the motions & when the time comes for me to make my grand entrance (on my son's arm), I recognize everyone on my (the bride's) side of the church, but no one on the groom's side. As I make my way down the aisle {fabulous as I wanna be}, one (1) of the bridesmaids is unfamiliar to me & all of the groomsmen are strangers. I make it to the altar & when I look up to gaze into my beloved's eyes, his face is pixelated!!! I've been having this same dream since I was 18/19 years old & my beloved's face has always been pixelated. To make matters worse, when the Rev. is about to say his name, I wake up!! It never fails.
I've been trying for the last 15+ years to figure this out & I can't. I did however, come to the conclusion that this dream might be a subconscious reminder that one day true love & happiness will come my way, I just don't know it yet.
