Michelle's Blissful Adventures

Our recent trip to Universal Orlando Resorts was nothing short of magical. From the moment we stepped foot into the enchanting atmosphere of the Lowes Royal Pacific Resort, we knew we were in for an extraordinary experience.  Nestled amidst lush surroundings, the resort exuded elegance and charm. Our spacious suite comfortably accommodated our family of five, providing us with a luxurious retreat after exhilarating days at the parks. The resort's pristine pools and convenient boat transportation added an extra layer of convenience and enjoyment to our stay, while the entertaining boat conductors regaled us with stories along the way. One of the highlights of our stay was the complimentary Universal Express Unlimited bracelets, a perk of staying at a premier resort. Skipping the regular lines for most rides allowed us to make the most of our time, experiencing all the thrills and attractions at our own pace. Our adventure truly began when we entered the gates of Universal Studios. A...

As I sit down to reflect on one of the most memorable family vacations we've ever had, a wave of nostalgia washes over me, bringing back the sights, sounds, and sheer magic of our journey to Disney World. It was a trip filled with laughter, tears, and countless unforgettable moments that will forever hold a special place in our hearts. From the moment we arrived, I knew our adventure was going to be something truly special. Watching the wonder in our kids' eyes as they caught their first glimpse of Cinderella's castle was a moment I'll never forget. Seeing their excitement mirrored my own, and I couldn't help but shed a tear at the sheer joy radiating from them. Our adventure began with a thrilling plane ride, a first for our middle child who initially felt terrified but soon overcame her fears once we were soaring through the clouds. Landing in Orlando, we hopped onto the Mickey Shuttle, eagerly anticipating the magic that awaited us at our resort. Our home for the...

Ahoy, fellow adventurers! Gather 'round for a yarn that'll leave you chuckling and shaking your head in disbelief. Set sail with us on a Virgin Voyages Cruise, where our voyage of celebration turned into a comedy of errors – and wins – that we'll never forget. Picture this: hammocks swaying on balconies, the gentle sea breeze caressing our faces, and laughter echoing through the ship. It was the perfect setting for our 20-year anniversaries – until the misadventures began. As the ladies relaxed in our balcony hammocks, soaking in the sun and scenery, the menfolk decided to try their luck at the casino's craps table. Little did we know, this decision would lead to a series of hilarious events that would go down in cruise folklore. Enter Ryan, my dear husband, in need of a restroom break. Now, this wasn't your ordinary ship lavatory – it was a labyrinth of confusion with its sink-on-entry setup and a single, solitary toilet behind a menacing door. But Ryan, ever the i...

There are few experiences as memorable as getting inked with a view of the vast ocean stretching out before you. My sister and I recently embarked on a journey with Virgin Voyages, and we knew right away that we wanted to commemorate our adventure with matching tattoos. And where better to do it than on a ship that celebrates the freedom of the open sea? As soon as we stepped foot on the ship, we made a beeline for the Squid Ink tattoo parlor. With spots filling up quickly, we didn't want to miss our chance. The anticipation only added to the excitement of what was to come. We quickly learned that scheduling our tattoo session for the night before disembarkation was crucial, especially if we wanted to take a dip in the ocean during our trip. Keeping the tattoo dry is essential for proper healing, so planning ahead ensured we could enjoy every aspect of our voyage without worry. At Squid Ink, the options were endless. We could choose from their designs or work with the artists to cr...
