7 Easy Ways to have Spontaneous Fun!

I like to change up my routine. It doesn’t matter what it is, I like to take different routes to work, try new restaurants, different food. You name I’ll change it. It’s a lot of fun because some of the things I plan are spontaneous. I think that’s when you have the best fun! Try these 7 ideas for some spontaneous fun!

  1. Invent a Holiday- Now we know it takes more to invent a holiday…but you and a group of friends could invent one! How about Nationaly Pool Day on a Saturday?
  2. A Virtual Vacation- Spin the globe at random! Where did you land, France? Sip on some wine and try out French foods! Learn some of the language and enjoy your vacation!
  3. Play Hard- Get outside! Go hiking, running, or rock climbing! This isn’t only for bathing suit season but you can have fun too!
  4. Feed your Fun- Try something new to eat! Go in search for a new place to eat! Don’t like what you find…try another place!
  5. Find a New Hobby- Do you have a hobby? If not, try out a hobby and if you do have a hobby find a new one! Collect antiques, baseball cards or go fishing!
  6. Keep Learning- Be like Aristotle and become a philosopher! How about drawing classes, guitar lessons or cooking classes!
  7. Become a Know-It-All- Become an expert on one thing! Chocolate, sports or whatever you want it to be!

Cruising the Sea!

cruiseHaving been on several cruises myself, I must say they are very enjoyable. The enjoyment of the water, the weather and great food is an experience everyone should try. The best part about a cruise is it’s all-inclusive! You get to enjoy accommodations, dining and great fun all for one price, which is a great save if I may so myself.

A great cruise to test out is Carnival Cruises. They are definitely enjoyable and worth the money. And the money you’re putting into your vacation isn’t much at all. I know it sounds too good to be true but believe it cause it is! You can sail the sea for as long as 12 days or as short as 2 days. No matter how long you’re sure to take pleasure in this all-inclusive trip.

Carnival has destination to over 8 locations: Alaska, Canada/New England, Bermuda, Bahamas, Caribbean, Mexico, Hawaii and Europe! These amazing destinations each offer a different experience for a Carnival guest. In Alaska you can go Whale watching, in the Caribbean you can go Sting-ray swimming, and so forth. The options are virtually endless (of-course some options cost a bit of money) and are always fun.

I love going on cruises, from start to finish the trip is always fun. No matter what we do I enjoy it. You also don’t have to fork out so much money that when you go home you’re dirt poor. One of Carnival’s new promotions is enjoying a cruise trip for as little as $70 a day! When you think about all the expenses and relaxation you’ll be having, it’s definitely a steal.

Living like the movie Up!

The Disney movie Up had my heart strings, personally I thought it was such a great movie.  My favorite part of the movie is the flying house scene.  The main character uses tons of balloons to carry his house to his destination!  It reminded me of a hot air balloon, and that I’ve always wanted to ride in a hot air balloon!  I took some time out to look for hot air balloon rides around Orlando and I found one! Blue Water Balloons provides people with a ride over Orlando in a hot air balloon every morning!
