Hey guys! Hope everything has been going wonderfully, for you all! We have been down in Florida for almost a month now! I can’t even believe it, it feels like we just got here. . . and yet, at the same time it feels like we have always been here (I know, what an odd thing to say, but it does). For those of you who don’t know, we packed up our bags, quit our jobs and just moved halfway across the country. You can check out that full story here.

Now that we both work from home, or can work anywhere that we want to, we have been talking about planning some trips! While we were talking about where we should go and what we should do, I thought that it would be fun to share with you guys how we find the best deals for us: whether we are going to use travel agents or not, if we will do an all inclusive, or if we book hotels and flights separately. To be quite honest we’re open to them all but for different reasons. Let’s check out those reasons, now:

One the best things about moving your life across the country, is being able to explore and see new things. Now, I went to Universal Studios when I was younger, but I had never been to Harry Potter World. To be quite honest, I wouldn’t really say that I’m even that big of a fan. But here’s the thing, you don’t have to be a fan to think that this place is magical.

On New Years Eve, Universal Studios has all different kinds of activities, they have live music, free New Years attire that they hand out, they close part of Citywalk, and they have fireworks and shows. At the time that we are visiting, they still have Christmas lights up, they’re still doing they’re Christmas parade and they are still having their Christmas shows. Okay, so this may not seem like much to you, except when you walk in it all makes you feel like you’ve walked into Diagon Alley at Christmas time.

Hey guys, it’s Tor! As you all know, we had some company last weekend. My sister and her boyfriend came down to see us, as well as Sam’s mom and her boyfriend. The first couple of days we spent going to the beaches but the last two days that they where here we spent going to Universal Studios.

Orlando is about two hours from our place in Florida, so we drove there with my sister and her boyfriend and Ace (our dog). Yes, Ace got to go on this trip with us! Although, he didn’t get to go to the actual park, but he did get to stay at the hotel with us. I don’t like to leave him very much, and he is a little bit of a diva, so he would have been very mad at us if we left him with someone else.
