Have you seen these pink buildings while exploring Nassau? Here’s a little history behind them! The buildings in Parliament Square were constructed in 1815 by the Loyalists. They are modeled after buildings that are found in New Bern, the old capital of North Carolina. These flamingo-pink government buildings are excellent examples of the colonial architecture of old Nassau. The building to the right is the House of Assembly where parliamentary meetings are held.

Walt Disney World is full of great little spots to grab a drink and a snack. Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto at the Polynesian Village Resort is one my favorite places to escape the hustle and bustle of the theme parks.

Be a Local D o you have an upcoming trip planned? Whether you’re spending two weeks in Europe or headed to the next state over for a weekend getaway, there are plenty of ways to make the most of your travel this spring. Here are my favorite tips to help you go from timid tourist to confident traveler in no time. Take Public Transit Depending on where you’re visiting; public transit can be a fun and inexpensive way to get around. As a rule of thumb, only take transit during the day and read up on safety before you go. Keep your personal belongings close to you and carry a map of the transit system. Buy Meaningful Mementos How many times have we bought tacky souvenirs that we’re almost embarrassed to show anyone? Head to a local market and pick out items that will truly represent the local spirit. Or better, forego the extra expense and document your trip with beautiful photos instead. Keep a Diary Along with great photos; document your trip with a travel journal
