Orlando FL!

This past weekend I spent it with my best friend Emily, her boy friend and my Jojo. I also had a spectacular surprise and met with other friends! But I will post on it later this week.

No play, No Game! It's time to get back to work!
But I am excited to share my weekend-vacation!

Rock City (Georgia/Tennessee)

Rock City is worth the ride.

It was very pretty, and the walk was good too. I am glad I can still fit thorugh the rocks.
They where very close though, need to go on a diet ASAP!

The Lovers Leap was romantic and tells a story:

Nearby Yonah Mountain is the site of a Romeo and Juliet-like legend that Nacoochee was a beautiful Cherokee "princess," who fell in love with a Choctaw warrior named Sautee. When their love was forbidden by the Cherokee elders, a war party followed the eloping lovers and threw Sautee off the mountain, with Nacoochee then jumping to her death, a Lover's Leap.

[Reference: Wikpedia :)]

Ok, so it was a very tragic romantic story, but the view was awesome.

I also liked the "seven states" view. Its pressumed you can view a bit of these states: Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama, North Carolina, South Carolina, Kentucky and Virginia. 

On the trail there is a hanging bridge, which was scary but safe (there is an alternate trail). We also saw a white deer!

We had dinner in TN, at a brewery place, Big River Grille, it was delicious and did the beer sampling, very good!

Rock City is very close to Ruby Falls, which we haven't been yet. But I promised Emily I would take her when she comes for Thanksgiving! So we will definitely be going up again!

Also, Yuani and I realized, we will be spending another Black Friday in Atlanta! Can't wait!

Jacksonville and St. Agustine Recap!

Really Quick Summary.

Football rocks! #godawgs. Me and my bestfriend Emily, tail gated and partied the whole weekend. She was a head to toe Gator fan, and obviously I was with the Georgia Bulldogs. (Gotta stick with bulldogs, which is my alma mater is also a bulldog).  People looked at us and yelled at us, that we shouldn't be seen hanging together, that it was wrong. But we weren't the only ones. I am so glad Georgia won, since we were in enemy city haha!

St. Agustine reminded me of San Juan! It had a little fort like the Morro. Made me homesick. Pretty little old town. It had the oldest built school. We went engagement-ring-window-shopping for Em. And that old town has beauty jewels! We also went to a winery, San Sebastian, and did a wine tasting. I must say I have finally found a red wine I can sip! Vinters Red.

Jacksonville, FL!

This is my first time riding a bus. Taking Greyhound to go see my BFF Emily. So excited because will be tailgating for a Georgia/Florida football game. She will be rooting for the gators, And I, i'm a Bulldog forever! (Just temporarly red for GA and Green for Mayaguez :p ) so excited! Theres wifi, and comfy seats, I think I will be okay for this 6hr trip.... 

Either Megabus or Greyhound had awesome prices. I think Im going to get addicted to these. My friend from NC is coming to visit me and her ticket was just $1.00!!!!! So jelaous. I can't complain, but I got my tickets for 48.00 (roundtrip). And i get to sleep and uSe wifi.

Im planning a trip back again to go to Disney with Jojo, he has never been to there. So we are still thinking on either driving or taking the bus.

Pros of driving, we are not limited to a schedule and we can come and go as we please. Plus, we don't pay gas so it will be basically be a free ride between us. And we can choose our pit stops.
Cons. We have to drive 6hrs, ourselves.

Pros of bus, we don't have to drive, we will just sit back and relax. Hopefully it has this same good wifi im enjoying and we can sleep as we please. Wonderful if we take red-eyes. We can sleep and wake up in another city.
Cons. Price of tickets, it might cost me $100 for both of us. We can't choose our pit stops and the enviroment is a bit stressful at first. 

I honestly thought it was worst. The reviews i read were bad. I was expecting rude people, and they were quite polite. I expected it to be gross, but if you have traveled a bit, you might find it decent enough. Chairs are comfortable, and the free wifi, just makes it enjoyable. Howerver, I left my headphones at my desk yesterday. #epicfail

Can't wait to cross the Georgia-Florida line!
