Five on Friday - v.11


It's definitely been one of those weeks where nothing seems to go my way! Unfortunately, something else happened this morning and my mind set right now is - if ONE MORE thing does not go my way I will probably break out in a tantrum and I don't care how old I am! Therefore, tonight, I'm just going to have a "me" night and a watch a few movies.

Linking up with A Liz Adventures!

O N E - Received my ship assignment early (read all about it here) which made me a tad bit more comfortable only because I know where I will be going. My home away from home for six months, will be traveling around the Bahamas and Caribbean. It's a tough job but someone has to do it, right?!

T W O - Birthday celebrations! Since I will be away for my birthday, we have started my family birthday celebrations early. Every year on our birthday, my brother and I get to pick out any restaurant we want and my dad will so generously take us there. This year, my choice was the Mandarin. This place never fails to disappoint. Best part, the dessert of course!

T H R E E - Over the past week I have developed some thoughts and opinions towards the price of luggage and airline fees! Obv I had to shop for some luggage for my new adventure and I thought prices would be cheaper in the US! Thank goodness for sales! Regular prices for these pieces of luggage were like 400$+ ... Who would pay that?! I know these companies will get their money, but why so much?? Secondly, while I was doing research about luggage weight and size requirements, I saw that they charge you approx 75$ for an oversized bag and then another 75$ for over weight bag. For this certain airline, the price went up from 50$ to 75$. There are so many rules and regulations with flying now - and yes, I do understand why! - but no wonder a lot of people chose to drive places.

F O U R - Need I say more?


F I V E - As much as I am a night time person, it's getting dark too early and it's still throwing me off! Missing summertime already!


Have a great weekend all :)

    1. Thanks for stopping by :) Yes, it does sound incredible, especially when it was almost 102 in the Bahamas today and 36 where I live! Haha It will be a great experience, you're right, and I will learn so much! Just doesn't feel that way right now - nervous is an understatement!
