Leave Only Footprints Leave Only Footprints By Megan Cutler | July 15, 2013 | Comments 1 comment The one time I went snorkeling was probably the single most amazing thing I’ve ever done in my life. Snorkeling was our second off-resort adventure in Belize. Instead of leaving on a bus, we left on a boat. But first we took a trip to the surf shop to get fitted for flippers and masks. … Read More Read More
Maiden of the Rock Maiden of the Rock By Megan Cutler | June 24, 2013 | Comments 1 comment While we spent a lot of time on the beach in Belize, it wasn’t the (sole) reason we visited the country. We took three ventures off-resort. The first was to see a Mayan ruin located about 80 miles west of Belize City. It was about a three hour drive from the resort, but well worth … Read More Read More
Who Are You Writing For? Who Are You Writing For? By Megan Cutler | June 17, 2013 | Comments 0 Comment I haven’t written about writing in awhile. Not because I don’t have anything to say, because I worry talking too much about it will annoy people. But I’ve noticed a lot of talk about this topic recently, and I feel I can speak from personal experience. I follow Neil Gaiman on Tumblr. People tend to … Read More Read More
Airplane Adventures Airplane Adventures By Megan Cutler | June 3, 2013 | Comments 1 comment Writing about my recent trip to Florida reminded me of another vacation I never wrote about. It was before I started this blog and at a point in my life where, due to various time constraints, I had stopped journaling. It’s the kind of once-in-a-lifetime experience I’ve always wanted to do justice in writing. Before … Read More Read More
When in Rome When in Rome By Megan Cutler | May 20, 2013 | Comments 11 comments I’ve already written about my epic journey to becoming a Canadian. While Canada and the US aren’t all that different, there are a few surprises in store for those who make the move. There are always the minor things of course; new restaurant and grocery store chains, strange commercials, the overwhelming desire to apologize to … Read More Read More
Hanging Around Town Hanging Around Town By Megan Cutler | May 13, 2013 | Comments 0 Comment I’ve talked a lot about my recent trip to Florida (and hopefully I haven’t bored too many people with it). While we spent a lot of time in theme parks, we also took the time to enjoy other local attractions. My friend, Rowena, has a knack for finding the most interesting stops in any location, … Read More Read More
The Quiet of the Mind The Quiet of the Mind By Megan Cutler | May 6, 2013 | Comments 3 comments I know many people who claim they don’t dream. Science tells us we dream, on average, about five times every night. We dream every time we pass through the REM cycle of sleep. But many people don’t remember their dreams. When they wake, those nighttime images pass from notice. Sometimes something a person says or … Read More Read More
Dance Party Magic Dance Party Magic By Megan Cutler | April 22, 2013 | Comments 1 comment The Magic Kingdom is simultaneously my favorite and least favorite Disney park. Most of the Magic Kingdom is meant for kids, but it’s also the heart of Disney, the heart of my childhood, the place where all the movies I loved as a kid come to life. But it’s the hottest of all the parks … Read More Read More
The Fanny Pack Fiasco The Fanny Pack Fiasco By Megan Cutler | April 1, 2013 | Comments 1 comment As I mentioned in my last vacation post, my recent trip to Florida included my first trip to Universal Studios. Our second day at the park started at the customer service desk. The Gryffindor friend I mentioned in my last post purchased a t-shirt from the Islands of Adventure park which needed to be exchanged. … Read More Read More
Islands of Adventure Islands of Adventure By Megan Cutler | March 11, 2013 | Comments 1 comment My fall trip to Florida included my first trip to Universal studios. I’ve heard a lot about the parks from others who’ve visited, and I know a lot of the history, but I’d never experienced it myself. Of course, Universal’s newest and most popular attraction is the Harry Potter themed park where they recreated Hogwarts … Read More Read More
