Waving Flag – Trip to New York

January 13, 2026 lcscarlett957

Think back on your most memorable road trip.

Ahhh its such a long time since I had a long car road trip.

The most visible memory would be visiting my relatives in New York with an invitation to a party.

We were going along Toronto to Buffalo and to New York…

We were with family friends that were invited as well and made it more fun with all the pit stops.

I believe it was around 2009 when the song “Waving Flag” was popular and we sung it all through the road trip.

Plus others 😅

It was first time experiencing the money and cultural shock of visiting U.S for the first time.

I can still remember getting out a 20 dollar bill for ordering 2 combo McDonald’s chicken meals and finding out it cost 5 dollars….

😂😂That was interesting to hear and relief to pay.

Take a Risk to Venture Off

July 23, 2025 lcscarlett957

What are your future travel plans?

Well, since traveling to 2 places for the first time out in the world…

One is Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. Wonderful place and will definitely go to take a trip back in the future.

Second was Cuba, a budget-friendly place that had beautiful weather, but it will take a different accommodation to make me go back.

That being said, I would like to visit more tropical places and areas of historical value and learn about the culture around the world.

If I were to write down a list…

Jamacia
Spain
Italy
Switzerland
Fiji
Barbados
Maldives
Japan (Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka)
Bali
Bora-Bora
Dubai
China (Great Wall)
Machu Pichu
Cape Town
Tanzania
Florida – Need on trip to Disneyland at least once
London
Barcelona
Sydney, Australia
Paris France

It’s a bit of a long list but I really would love to see you around the world and learn more.

I would try probably for some budget-friendly as I am right now.

But I pray and believe that step by step, I can get the chance to visit those places and even more across the world.

I’m even interested in going and traveling around where I live right now in Canada.

Because for 25 years, I haven’t even seen around the country where I was born. So for starters, I would love to see the great Baniff Park. How about taking a trip to see Vancouver?

Take a trip to Montreal, see the culture of Quebec City, and even some of the Northwest Territories, or a little bit up in Calgary, just for a change.

Camp Manitou

April 29, 2025 lcscarlett957

Have you ever been camping?

Well, if I were to remember… I had to or have been camping with my family, no, but I did go on a camp trip to Camp Manitou when I was in high school in the 10th grade.

Camp Manitou, alongside one of the lakes in Ontario, far from the city…

Just to get away, have some fun. Especially on a good high school trip. That created good memories for me. It was the first time I was away from my parents for so long.

I think I went to 4-5days, and that was fun. Well, a tough four days for my parents, especially my dad, because he really missed me.

Well, I did love when we got there. Evertjne was separated into squads. I was on the Pink squad. It was so much fun to do different acting activities such as bobbing for apple, dancing at different random times, arts and crafts, eating good food food, canoeing competition and free falling from a high area which I conquered my fear of heights a bit.

I kind of gave up on the rock climbing midway through because I didn’t have any upper body strength 😂😂

But it is a camping experience that I will always remember.

Artic or Antarctica

April 16, 2025 lcscarlett957

What place in the world do you never want to visit? Why?

Since I already live in the northeast part of the world in Canada, I wouldn’t want to visit a place in the Arctic or Antarctica. O know it’s one of the 7 interesting places in the world.

That’s a bit of an interesting wonder, but with the harsh colder temperature and the hard climate, it’s really a place I never want to visit.

Imagine with survival with trying to be healthy. Trying to go buy daily activities, it is extremely hard if you want to visit those two parts of the world.

I mean, if anyone suggests, otherwise, it would be just a once in a lifetime trip. But’s, it’s really hard for me to visit somewhere that cold and that uncomfortable.

To have a good time. I’m more of a warm weather girl….

I mean by picture, the place looks beautiful, but I can see the difference of just seeing and really experiencing a vacation.

Stepping on a Beach – A Trip to Remember

June 14, 2024 lcscarlett957

Describe one of your favorite moments.

One of my absolute best moments of my life. when I stepped on a beach for the first time ever and it was in another country on vacation.

Throughout my life, I’m a quiet city girl that loves to go to attractions such as amusement park, carnival or a fun fair. But I haven’t been to the beach ever…

I don’t know why, I think because I mostly gravitated towards pools during summertime 😕

But on my first ever vacation trip to Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic, this year in May, I stepped to the sand and enjoyed the ocean waves relaxed and remembered a quote I heard
