Travel Tips

I have a good friend from Charleston that I met on my study abroad to Italy. She is this super cool writer/editor chick. She is an editor for the Charlotte version of Skirt! Magazine.

As long as I have known Aleigh, she has been picking up freelance gigs, and her latest is blogging for a site called Beautorium. Her latest entry is all about how to "Travel Pretty". As someone who automatically feels like death after a 2 hour plane ride in the middle of the day, these are tips I will have to keep in mind on my trip to Italy. 'Cause while I am excited about this upcoming adventure, I hate flying for that long.

So how do you keep yourself amused on planes? I get nervous so I generally try to take a Tylenol PM or something, but in the event that I can't fall asleep, or I have a layover, I have to do a music/book/games on my ipod combo. Since I am trying to perfect the art of traveling light, I am not taking the laptop, and instead will spend all that space on books, since I'm a fast reader.

Welcome

Hi there! It's Christina from 305 Misadventures! I have decided to start another "misadventures-themed" blog about travel. Why? Well, I want to keep 305 mainly focusing on South Florida, but I also have alot of travel stories that I would like to related.

Really, I got inspired because of my upcoming trip to Italy, and I started thinking it would be fun to chronicle that adventure. But then I got to thinking that there's so much more one can write about traveling when one lives for their next vacation. So what am I going to write about? Well, I plan to write about anything and everything related to vacation really. I may share stories from South Florida, but probably not alot as I intend to keep 305 active.

So welcome, and I hope you enjoy!
