The Places I've traveled Part 5

     I think these last 3 places were probably the most fun! The stories of what happened and how I landed in these spots were interesting too.  Let's start with Florida I've been there 3 times, the first time was with my Amazing God mother for yet another birthday trip. We went to Miami, we stayed at the Westgate in Sunny Isles Beach; courtesy of my God Sister. My God mom wasn't feeling well so I got her some food & let her rest. I was out... I went bike riding on the beach at 7am each day I was there, I went for a fan boat ride through the Everglades & was in the water with the Alligators, it was an amazing trip. When my God mom felt better we went clubbing and out to eat. This is a video of the Croc's from my view on the fan boat!  When you get there swipe right the video is second (my bad).

    The second time I went to Florida back to Miami I went to South Beach this time. Hubby & I went out for our birthday month. We rented a car and drove to the Florida Keys. Omg what an amazing ride! We went bike riding, snorkeling in the Gulf of Mexico & took pictures at the Southern Most Point. We also visited a beach in Fort Lauderdale, partied down on 2nd street & toured some great blocks that featured graffiti & other art. I really enjoyed myself.

    The third time I went I visited Orlando and stayed for a week at the Westgate in Kissimmee. I went for Christmas with my mom, pop & son. It was supposed to be a family trip but nobody else seemed to make it. It was during the pandemic so it definitely got weird. Because everyone didn't come it was much more space to hang out and chill by myself lol, but I wished they did come. We went to the movies to see the latest Spider man, to GatorLand and zip-lined that was really fun, only my mom & I participated. It was hella scary but we did it! We hung out and enjoyed the resort too. It got crazy on the way home our flight & mom's train was canceled. We ended up staying an extra two days! The first day was fine it was December 30th the next morning Mom & pop found a flight and were out. My son & I however gained an extra day & spent New Years 2022 with a random girl we met that was also in disarray at the airport. They did give us food & a nice hotel room even though we had to be back at the airport on January 1st at 3am. It was a whole fiasco, my son & I ended up taking separate flights home the Uber situation was crazy when we arrived back in Philly.  


After that I stayed off planes for a while that whole cancelation fiasco caused me major anxiety! California & Colorado are our last stops for now!

We're not in LA N-E-More XII

By Jodie Spartz
     My phone is fixed! It was broke for about two weeks, I kinda broke it myself out of frustration & it was right before Christmas. So that meant no Christmas, New years or any Holiday pics. I was a little sad at first that I couldn't post on social media but after a while I found peace in enjoying activities & not worrying about pictures or footage. I visited my son for Christmas in Upstate NY for two days, Then I went to visit my God mom for a couple days dropped her off some gifts. I went to visit my God children & my God granddaughter that was fun. My God grand daughter is two years old and my God daughter & God son asked her if she wanted to sing head shoulders, knees & toes. She said no but they decided to sing it anyway to see if she would get into it. She didn't & after they finished the song all enthusiastically this little girl with her little baby voice said " Nobody asked for all that!" My husband & I busted out laughing ...

Surviving LA part II

By Jodie Spartz
  As the LA housing search continues...      We found ourselves on the streets & out of money for a couple weeks due to the Beverly Hills swindle & the cost of staying in hotels. On day one on the streets, we both worked a night shift and spent the day sleeping in our storage unit, Day 2 was the Santa Monica/Venice beach night, sleeping in our tent & fighting a serious wind till the morning. On day 3 we fought with the wind again more severe in our tent at the Venice Graffiti walls on the beach & lost. We dramatically packed up fighting the wind the whole way & ended up camping not too far away in Penmar park. The good thing about this was that they had a bathroom available.       The hauk was out too that night it was so cold, I thought I was gonna die from hypothermia. I don't even know how I made it through the night. All I know is that I was not prepared for this! The universe carried me into day 4 & we both again worke...
