Wandering Around Time Square!

If you've been following me on Instagram (Wildechildyup), then you know I've been to New York recently! I have visited the Big Apple before, but I haven't experienced any of the famous land marks on the tourist checklist. This time I made sure to see Time Square lit up in all of it's blinding glory!

From blocks away you could already see the hazy lights of one of the world's most famous tourist spots. The lights only get brighter the closer you get!

Although it was pretty cold and misty, we trekked out to the heart of the city to take in all of the bright lights. Time Square wasn't as crowded as I anticipated, perhaps it was the weather, yet it everything I had imagined and saw every year during the New Year Eve Ball Drop. There is no way I would ever want to be in Time Square for that! It would be way too intense and crowded. I'm glad there weren't mass crowds of people walking around during the night, we seemed to have picked the perfect timing!

Kyoto, Japan | Owl Family Cafe

Japan was one hell of a trip. There were some events that were planned ahead of time and the first event was time at the Owl Family Cafe ! I've been beyond excited about this for months now and am very glad that I was able to do this! At first the cafe was frustrating because we arrived 15 minutes before our scheduled time, as was instructed on my reservation. We arrived at the location stated only to find out that the cafe had MOVED ! It took 30 minutes to find the new location. I was really afraid that we would miss our reservation. Luckily the cafe understood the lateness and we got to play with owls! The price was very inexpensive, about $15 per person, depending on how much time you purchase. I purchased 1 hour. The price included 1 hour with the owls, one hot or cold beverage, and the workers take photos of you with the owls on your behalf (using your phone or camera). I loved the Japanese beverage shelves. The top shelf has a thick white ...

Australia Bound - Dallas Layover 😱

I was racing to make my connection from Dallas to Sydney when I got to a very empty gate. The Qantas representative at the desk smiled and handed me some papers and explained that my flight to Australia has been delayed for 24 HOURS and they were putting us all in a hotel with food vouchers. This was the last thing I wanted to hear! But there was nothing anyone could do but go to the hotel, sleep in a bed, and eat hotel food until we got more information and a departure time. I appreciate that Qantas put us up for the time we were delayed, but what I did not appreciate was that there were no notifications or emails ahead of time to inform us that our flight was not going out on the date and time intended. Also, there was no one helping us at the hotel. They did not send representatives to inform us about updates. The only information we received was that the check-in desk would open at 6 pm. All day my fellow Australia-bound voyagers and I stood at the arrival and departu...
