The Wandering Dragon Medieval Market
If my clan is going to drag me from my hovel beneath my rock kicking and screaming - they better be taking me to where there is food or faeries. Or faeries that feed me. The last week of October provided such an outing at the Expo Center in Knoxville, Tennessee.

Why Is It So Hard To Vacation?
It’s coming up on my anniversary in a couple of months. I’m old, mind you. And, since I wasn’t successful as a cougar, so is my husband. I tend to quantify “old” as anything over the mid-forties because that’s when the switch flipped, and I couldn’t ignore the aches in my bones any longer.

The Brushstroke of Time. Content Warning.
In the charming town of Willowbrook, nestled on the banks of a tranquil river, there stood a centuries-old art gallery known as "The Brushstroke of Time." It was a place where art came to life in the most unexpected way, and where the past and present danced together through the magical power of time travel. This is the story of a gallery that held secrets as vivid as the paintings it showcased and a mystery that transcended the boundaries of time itself.

Disney Trip
Thursday is our EPCOT day and that means that Friday is our Hollywood Studios day. That does mean that I am anticipating slightly more crowds than we are going to have dealt with the rest of the week. But we will of course be getting Genie+ again and taking advantage of single rider lines. And obviously doing rope drop again, because I really hate lines. The park opens at 9AM and closes at 9PM and we will be doing the whole 12 hour park day.

Florida Trip
Hello! So I am far from a Disney blogger or influencer but I have a Universal Hollywood season pass and I am about to be in Orlando for a week doing both Universal and Disney. So I thought I would walk through my plans so that I can do a proper review of the trip as it's happening. Now I am a planner so everything down to our food and booze is cataloged and color coded on a spreadsheet. We are landing Saturday and spending Sunday in Disney Springs. So here are our detailed Disney Springs plans.

Universal Trip
Our first real stop in Florida will be Universal studios. My father got us tickets for 2 days but a special was happening so we really have 5 day park hopper tickets. We definitely won’t be using all of the days but I have a schedule for the 2 full days that we will be using, plus the halfday for horror nights. So we are going to take this day by day and I will go ahead and preface this with; our Universal days are going to be much more relaxed then our Disney days if for no other reason then we are season passholders to Hollywood and I have no problem spending two whole days in the Harry Potter section of the park.

Disney Plan
Our first Disney day will be in Epcot. This is arguably going to be the earliest day of the whole vacation because Guardians of the Galaxy is still on a virtual queue system. To add insult to injury we are not staying on property so I will be waking up around 6AM to get myself some food, get us to EPCOT, join the virtual queue by 7AM and make it to rope drop by 9. So that is how our day will be starting.

Universal Trip
Our first day in Universal studios is super packed but we will then return to the hotel for a good night's sleep to rise and shine nice and early all over again. The second day is going to be entirely Harry Potter centric so it will be a little more relaxed. I wanted to make sure that we have time to hit up all of the shops and things, and I am bringing my wand so I had to make sure I had time to do some magic as well.

Wandering The Streets Of Glasgow
Introduction I spent four days in Glasgow in Citizen M with Fiona for a break from everyday life and work. I often go to Edinburgh but this was the first time in Glasgow for a very long time. This is going to be a very haphazard piece with random observations and photographs (do we still call them photographs?) from the time I was there.
