Winter Break
So... today I woke and made an impulsive decision:I'm going all the way to California for Winter vacation.
And not only that! I'm planning to go through Orlandos and Miami in between it all.
It all started with me wanting to go to Washington DC. Afterall, it is the capital and I have not seen it yet. So DC it was.
I was actually thinking of going between my study break, but I found out that that would only be 3 days and not very worth it for me to go all the way down for.
So I planned for it to happen after my examinations. As far as I know, my Japanese finals are on the 10th of December. I don't know when my marketing exam is, so I haven't exactly booked for the coach down to DC just yet. Instead, I started planning from DC downwards since I have more than a month of vacation.
So from DC, I had thoughts of going to Virginia. I ended up scrapping that plan because there wasn't anything I was especially interested in there. Instead, I'm going to take a flight down to Florida, Miami. At first, I wanted to go there solely for the beaches. But then, I realized that Orlando is a theme park wonderland with universal studios and disney world and harry potter wizarding world, etc. So I'm going to stay in Florida for a solid week and a half. It is really expensive though. 4 days tickets for 4 disney parks is $280 and tickets for 3 different universal studios parks is $190. Together with lodging and food, I'm spending more than $1k just in Florida alone. But on the positive note, I'm going to spend christmas in Orlandos.
Then I'm taking a flight up to New Mexico. This was another impulse thing. I was just looking for places between Florida and Las Vegas, and this came in sight. When I searched it up, it seemed to have many natural sites so I decided to pay it a visit.
Then, as mentioned, I would fly up to Vegas. Even though I'm underaged which is really sad since I can't exactly do much in Vegas, I'm going to stay there for 5 days because there are New Year's eves events going on. So I'll be spending New Year in Vegas baby! I even booked tickets to watch Cirque de Soliel on New Year's Eve. I watched it once when I was really young and I loved it so much. Never had the chance to watch it again, so I'm taking this one. I was very lucky to even get tickets because I tried other Cirque de Soliel (the O, and the sensual one) and they were all out of stock for New Year's Eve.
Anyway, I'm going to be experiencing really new things on this trip, and staying in BnBs so hopefully they'll be nice. I'm staying in BnBs because it's not worth it for me to stay anywhere alone.
So, I'm heading towards San Diego after Vegas, for more beaches! Yay! Then going down to Los Angeles and San Francisco before heading back home to Buffalo. I am going to spend so much money on this trip, but I don't really spend much on a daily basis so it's a reward of some sorts *fingers crossed*. Yea, more motivation for me to spend less now. And the thing is I already booked some of the things like Orlando stuff and Vegas tickets, so it's not something I can simply back out of. I'm so hyped for this!
