Trip Tip

I came upon this website, travelmath.com, and thought I would share it with all of you. It helps you calculate how much a trip would cost you. This seems like a very handy tool for anyone planning a road trip this summer. Summer is creeping upon us, I can feel the heat and humidity already.

The website also has other things to help you plan a vacation. I plan on staycationing in New York this summer, but this will help on planning day trips to out east or upstate.

Where do you plan on going this summer? Or if you aren't going anywhere what are your summer plans this year?

Summer 2012's Bucket List

As summer is almost upon us I wanted to come up with a few things I'd like to do this summer. I am not going on any type of vacation  or have any major events this year, so these are just some little things to keep summer 2012 entertaining.

• 5 Points in Queens - I still have yet to visit .
• Splish Splash - granted, I don't even know how to swim.
• the beach, of course!
• brunch in the city - that's always fun.
• a day at the state's capital - Albany (educational? lol)
• New York Bontanical Gardens/ Old Westbury Gardens - maybe?
• visit Coney Island - never been!

That's all that I can come up with right now. Anything I should add?

What are your plans for your summer 2012?

& the countdown begins...

So, I'm goin on a Caribbean cruise on June 30th =) Yea, I'm excited, never have i ever been on a cruise on before. So as preparation my friend and I are going walking & building up to running on the track at the high school by my house in the mornings. Today was our first day, it was rather nice. We walked 7 laps for 31 mins. We also walked there and back. My friend walked a little bit longer because she lives about 3 blocks farther from me.

Trying to get rid of some stomach fat xp before the cruise, so we're also watching what we eat. Like for example after the walk and a shower i had a slice of whole wheat bread with some natural peanut butter for some protein and a little strawberry spread. Also, got some Light & Fit yogurt that i'm eating at the moment, lol. It's peach, tastes so good. Yesterday, I got some healthy snacks at the supermarket with my mother like the yogurt, along w/ green grapes, and granola bars.

I was thinking of not drinking (I don't drink like that anyway, kinda rarely), however there are events like every weekend this month. This Saturday is my lil bro's (neighbor) graduation from highschool BBQ across the street, then the 18th is a friend's 21st bday BBQ, then the 25th is a wedding renewal/babyshower (I haven't picked which one i want to go to yet lol). But you see what I mean. As long as I'm good the other days of the week, everything should be fine.

I usually lose some weight during the summer because i don't eat as much as during the school year, but that's just bad eating habits like sleeping in late and eating my first meal in the afternoon. Anywhoo, I hope to see results by the cruise and to stay on track.

Hope you guys have a healthy summer =)
