Blog Post Budget Project #2: Possible Honeymoon Destinations

There are potential dream vacations I will never forget to do in the future after marriage, so the following places are:
  1. Thailand: It's a tropical spot to stay around and sleep in with somebody I love IRL. And riding on elephants? That might be something new to do.
  2. Norway: I won't forget the taste of cheese, blueberries, wafers, tomato soup and potatoes on a cruise ship.
  3. Peru: I did the fruit and veggie project on it for botany class, so I am considering enjoying the delicious dragon fruit when I'm actually there.
That's it. You know... going on a honeymoon out of country is so expensive. In case I'm on a tight budget still at the time of the elopement, I guess everyone's going to Hawaii after the wedding. That's my thought. It's not something extremist or anything too dumb in particular. I need to just think about the future and nothing else. But wait... there's more... I want to spend a week in Canada first. Then after that, I'll spend a week in Iceland. Nah... that's too crazy... but it's perfecto. Note that this budget post is only ideal and not realistic.

Back to Basics in The Story

What is a story? A story is made up of so many mini-arcs in one novel, or just one in a children's picture book. Every story opens a door to the freedom of speech where everyone in our nation is searching for. It was filled with exciting, powerful and intense storylines of love, war, life, death, opinions and everything else in between from the past and present. There's poetry, memoirs, cultures that are different from our traditional values, stories about coming-of-age, putting the milk in the morning cake, seeing the unusual creatures on the isle for a while, stories in which the movies are based on and more. It's all woven into one huge planet where it's culturally rich that turns into a mushy stew by 2100 or so. As you read the story that's only challenged once or even more in any different time and place from where it's initiated, you will encounter something you've never heard like this before which leads you to open-mindedness whether you love it or hate it. This one epic journey to freedom makes the insistent claim that you do support the First Amendment rights and I highly encourage you to order the complete Banned Books Resource Guide that was mostly up-to-date from Amazon. I had the 2014 edition for Christmas, and I definitely can't wait to get my hands on, but dang... it rather takes a lot of hard work than that though.

In every story, there are a variety of chapters and a variety of pages in which it might fit in a cover no matter how thick or thin. They all comprise how the world was involved around them from questions you always wanted to know about everything beyond high school, but were afraid to ask your parents, aunts, uncles or grandparents who were very overprotective and want you to preserve traditional values for the rest of your life to answers and secrets to be revealed to plot twists that may even shock you by surprise. Our goal was to change the lives of others from poverty, domestic violence, sexual trafficking, drug abuse, and more (that includes harassment), so that they are more ready for the big wide world after graduation from high school. But the freedom of speech you'd read, you're reading or you maybe will read isn't any Disney story we've all seen as little kids. You are reading a banned book that has the power to experience not just the way you read, but you are exposing yourself to something you've never ever tried like this before. So sit back, relax and enjoy the best, truest, most open-minded greatest journey to freedom you'll ever had. Happy reading!

Thanks.
