CARNIVAL CRUISE

I enjoyed this cruise more than I thought I would've. If you love to eat and love vegas, then this is definitely something you have to experience. Just think of a Vegas hotel floating on water with 24 hour access to free food. I was so nervous to be on a ship for a week, because I used to get sea sick riding on my dad's naval ship when I was younger. A little tip for people who get motion sickness - Buy Sea Band, it worked wonders. Without it I would've probably puked my brains out. 

CATALINA ISLAND

The first time I heard of Catalina was on the t.v. show Laguna Beach. I never thought I'd have the opportunity to come here. This island is such a nice getaway from the city. I'm in dire need to come back once it gets warmer. Fyi, it's a free roundtrip ride on your birthday!
