Did you know that Fall offers the best deals for cruise lines? Booking a cruise can seem like a daunting task but really, it offers you the most bang for your buck. “Off Season” cruising is choosing to cruise when school is in session and there are no major holidays. During this time, you’ll find the best deals because cruise lines are looking to fill state rooms at the cheapest possible cost.

Cruises are also all inclusive, meaning that the price you pay includes lodging, food and gratuities. The only additional cost that you’ll encounter is travel to the port and excursions but if staying on the ship and enjoying all the activities and shows are your thing, that’s perfectly okay too. Cruising is the perfect way to visit multiple destinations in a limited amount of time.

 

Staycation: Explore Your Area

We take this thing everywhere and have gone from the infant size to the toddler Tula as he has grown. This also keeps him safe and gives mama a peace of mind . • When traveling with your kids , what’s the ONE thing you absolutely need to bring with you? Comment below ! 🔻🔻🔻

While the kids are in, it’s not always possible to take a week- long vacation or even travel far from your home. Staycations are excellent ways to feel like you’ve gotten away but you’re actually within two hours or so of your home.

Consider using apps to book a hotel deal in your town (or close) same day. Contact local tourism boards to see what fall events are happening in a town near you. Some tourism boards even offer extensive discounts for getting the information or booking your tickets through them so be sure to ask for those discounts when you call. Some fall family activities are:Taking a tour of your city, attending a state fair, visiting a pumpkin patch, visiting parks or camping.

The BEST place to find unique activities in your state is Only In Your State. Click HERE to check out that resource.

The United States has never ending beauty. Those beautiful areas are preserved in the form of National and State Parks and they are free or cheap to visit. If your family is looking for an affordable getaway and a little more time outdoors, consider adding these national and state parks to your travel itinerary this season. Drive your own vehicle or rent one to travel within your state or multiple. Consider booking an AirBnB in lieu of a hotel to cut even more costs.

Find National Parks in your state or all across the USA by visiting The National Parks Service “Find A Park” Tab. Click HERE to access this resource. 

 

 

Camping or Glamping

Fall is the perfect time to pack up the truck or the RV, pitch a tent and sit by the fire. Fall offers the optimal camping or glamping experience because you can marvel at the fall foliage during a daytime hike and sit around bond over bonfire at night. National, State and RV parks also offer other options for your outdoor enthusiasts like fishing and hunting. Regardless of your outdoorsman preferences, this vacation idea allows you to unplug from the world but reconnect with family and nature.

If you don’t know , now you know !  ————-  My page is not usually geared toward politics but with this platform , I am required to facilitate important conversations about Domestic and global issues that affect the well being of others. Days like today are constant reminders of the difference between how people of color have been treated for generations vs the privilege afforded to others.  —————-  In addition , it is disheartening knowing that people all over the world are watching and judging the circus on the news . As Global leaders have spoken up about their concern, I’m sure that we all find it difficult today to be American.  ————-  I’m curious to learn more about your thoughts .  ———-  #thisisAmerica #america #washingtondc #globalnews #unitedstatesnews #uscapitol #uscapitolbuilding #essence #melaninmajority

(Please Like, Comment and Share this post ) In 202 (Please Like, Comment and Share this post ) In 2021, can we start minding our business ?  ——————-  Travel shaming has always been a thing . A judgement on where people are traveling domestically or internationally , if they travel budget or luxury, eating local or chain once they get there . However, I witnessed a level of travel shaming in 2020 that I hadn’t seen before . @oneikatraveller shared a great post about it that I’ll share in my stories. While some chose to stay at home—others decided that with the right precautions, travel could be attainable for them. We are those people and 100% of the time it’s no one’s business what others do.  —————  There’s a lot of discussion around what is safe right now and what’s not . But if we’re going to talk about what’s not safe in travel, we should also be able to talk about other things that aren’t safe like suicide, depression and depleted mental health . The point is , as some of us continue to try to regain what a normal life looked like for us less than 365 days ago; please remember to grant them grace and trust that they did their part to keep others safe . We have to be more kind in 2021 and allow people to live their lives. A lot of people didn’t make it to this year with us but if you’re here, that’s enough cause for celebration and continuing to live a fulfilled life ✨ THAT’S ALL!  ——————  Let’s talk about it in the comment section below ! 🔻🔻🔻🔻🔻🔻  #travelblogger #travelwriter #blacktravelmovement #travelnoire #essencetravels #blacktravelfeed #blacktraveljourney #familytravel #travelmoms #blacktravelbloggers #blackcontentcreators #melaninmajority #travelgram #travelingram #madtravel #blacktravelgo #roadto100countries
Hey y’all Hey!! Happy New Year to Everyone . Wh Hey y’all Hey!! 
Happy New Year to Everyone . Whew. WE MADE IT . If you’ve done nothing else that’s ENOUGH.  ——————-  In true “New Year” Fashion, I wanted to take some time to reintroduce myself and my family. If you’re new here— Hi, Hello, Welcome . ❤️  ————  I’m Sierra, a travel industry expert + journalist and content creator with a Masters Degree in Travel and Tourism . I specialize in destinations and I study the connection between media + travel and food + culture and a lot of other things . As a result, you’ll find a lot of food and travel information here and on my blog. My goal here is to help you live an “out of the box” , luxury and worth while travel experience solo, in a couple/ group or especially with your kids because we’re raising a global citizen. My mantra is that “there’s no room for intolerance if you’re well traveled and start young”.  —————  Less boring stuff: I love @pixar , I listen to @hamiltonmusical Atleast one a day, I’m a God Girl as @nicolewalters would say and I love life. If you’ve seen the movie Soul then you know that’s a super power .  ———-
 The other two guys in the picture are my family @iam_red52 and Easten. Our son essentially has a travel themed name (or direction ) and It’s fitting for him. 
While Elijah @iam_red52 just started a food IG so go check him out .  ————  My husband is active duty Army so every two years , our audience has watched us move from place to place. Our family agrees that although we’re from Atlanta ; Miami is home and Florida is forever for us . Once he’s out, we plan to move back . We currently live in Las Vegas and absolutely love it here while we can .  ——————  So, now that I’ve gotten that out of the way. I would love to learn more about you . Tell me anything ! Where you’re from, the cuisine you love , what destination is your favorite or something unique about your city .

Hey Y’all! Happy Friday. I hope you’re all rel Hey Y’all! Happy Friday. I hope you’re all relaxing and prepping for Thanksgiving in the coming week 🦃  —————————-  Today’s post isn’t travel related . It’s a reminder to GRANT YOURSELF GRACE!  —————-  We keep hearing that this year is unprecedented. So why are you expecting yourself to accomplish major things ? It’s okay if you’re taking a break or deciding to remove things from your list .  TRANSPARENT MOMENT: This Q4, I decided against pitching brands as usual . If I don’t have the bandwidth, I just don’t do it. I’m granting myself the grace to finish the work that I do have and successfully finish this dissertation that’s taking a lot out of me and that’s okay .  ———————-
