How to Survive Your Trip to the Golden Gate Bridge with Alex Pt. 1

Hi!
Here are the top 5 tips for surviving your trip!

1. Bring sunglasses, googles, or some type of eyewear. Up on the Bridge, winds are extremely high and the large gusts blowing in your face don't make it a very pleasing experience.

2. Don't underestimate the weather. Because of the heavy winds, you should subtract 5 degrees Fahrenheit from the weather forecast.

3. If you have kids, plan out how far you will go. This can be based on age, mentality, etc. Some children, and even adults, can be frightened by the speeding cars rushing by. If you want to go the whole length, just take a taxi or ferry back from the other side.

4. Hold on to your belongings and cameras- especially when taking pictures ! I saw a couple lose their phone to a particularly nasty gust of wind when they were taking selfies.

5. Use the bathroom before going on the bridge. There are no rest stops along the way. MAKE SURE that your kids go too, regardless of what they say.

Ok!
That's it for Pt. 1

Coming Soon- San Diego Travel Guide

Hi!
In a few days, I'll be going to sunny San Diego!

I'm going to stop by Seaworld and Legoland, catch some rays at the beach, and possibly visit Universal Studios.

I was wondering if you guys had any questions about attractions in SD, or suggestions for me to visit and review.

Thanks!

Disneyland Trip Hacks+Tips - for families with young children

Hi!
I recently went to Disneyland and decided to make a post about surviving Disneyland for families.
Enjoy!

1. Bring Diapers, Bottles, Pacifiers, Change of Clothes, First Aid, etc.  It's best to always be prepared for any situation.

2. Bring a bag you can easily carry and access at all times.

3. Keep valuables hidden or in a place where you can easily get at it. With huge crowds at Disneyland, its easy for a pickpocket to sweep by and swipe your phone.

4. If you're going to get souvenirs, get them right before you leave. Otherwise, you'll be stuck lugging them around for the entire day.

5. Bring lots of snacks to munch on while in line.

6. Bring refillable bottles. No one wants to pay five bucks for a cup of water. It happened to me before. Moving on!

7. Bring sunscreen!

8. Bring a stroller. After 30 minutes, your kids' legs will be bone tired and they'll refuse to budge an inch.

9. Plan a route on a map to save as much walking time as possible.

10. Lastly and most importantly, make sure your kids know what to do if they get lost. Tell them to find the nearest employee, woman with children, etc. If you want, there are many tracking devices out there that you can get in case your kids run off.

Thank you for reading!
Stay tuned for more Travel Hacks!
