Decisions. Decisions.

Here lately, I have been doing a lot of research on living abroad. Specifically, living abroad as an American and with a teenager. I feel like there’s smoke coming out of my ears from all of the wheels turning. (ha!)

Places I am considering:

China

South Korea

Costa Rica

Nicaragua

Spain

Each country has its pros and cons. Some countries are easier to visit while others require a doctor’s note, literally. (I won’t say which one, but I’m sure you can put two and two together.) I really want to dive into the culture wherever we move. I loved Korea when I visited there many years ago and my mother worked in Korea for the US government for several years. Spain has come to mind recently after all of my research but it is not at the top of my list for a few reasons. My mother and I have always joked around about packing up and moving to Costa Rica, and I think that’s why that country is on my list of possibilities. (The cost of living really is cheap and I found a lot of pros to living there.) Nicaragua hit my list recently due to a friend who lives there. After the suggestion of me moving there with my son, I did some research and Nicaragua would be beneficial as far as slowing life down and the cost of living being reasonable.

There is so much more but I’m trying to keep this short and sweet. Have you lived abroad? If so, which country? What were the pros and cons? I’d love to hear from you even if the country you lived in wasn’t mentioned above.

XoXo,

S.E. Isaac

And… another one

Hey, Lovelies! I am still away on vacation. We just had a great family BBQ at my Aunt and Uncle’s house. Was able to catch up with so many people who I haven’t seen in years. It was really nice. I will post pictures soon. I have some up on my social media accounts because it is easier to post on there, but I’ll get some uploaded here on my blog soon!

In the meantime, I hope you enjoy my FREE book, Maid to Desire! (Part of a standalone series so you can read this book by itself) I am trying to give away 1k FREE copies so feel free to tell your friends & family about my free read. I reached 1k FREE books given away of my Claimed by the Taurus! Thank you so much for helping me reach my goal!

Travels from Texas to Missouri

On our road trips through or out of Texas, we always find a Bucees. I always vow to never go back because of how crowded they are and how rude the customers are; however, we end up going back. The bathrooms & gas are the main reasons. We can’t go there with my middle son because he has autism (and schizoaffective). Bucees isn’t sensory-friendly so it is too much for my son to handle. He has a meltdown/issue every time we go.

Next up…

I always enjoy seeing the classic statues in Big Cabin, Oklahoma. I’ve been driving this route from Texas to Missouri off-and-on for 15 years or so. Big Cabin is always there to greet us with the large Native American and Big Boy statues. They are at the gas station right before we get onto the toll road. There is a neat Mcdonald’s that is in a building that crosses the toll road (like a bridge), but we will never stop there again because of the horrible service we had there. And, I do mean horrible.

We dropped my son off in the capitol of Missouri with my dad and then we found a hotel in Kingdom City, Missouri. I booked online and it was a huge rip-off. They overcharged me. (Heavy sigh.) **We went to Denny’s nearby for dinner and that was a huge disappointment with the hostess being rude and the waitress neglectful** The hotel room was a death trap. I say that because we had trouble getting in and out of the room. The door handle/lock was faulty. We were so tired and just needed to rest our heads so we decided to bring it to the clerk’s attention upon checkout. The towels were super thin and smelled like cigarettes. It was very nasty. The next day, it took me well over five minutes to get the clerk’s attention. He was in the backroom working on the laundry machine. I called the hotel front desk to get his attention, and while I waited I stared at the paperwork that was laid out on the desk with guests’ names and a zippo lighter. (as a mom, I was a bit concerned about that) When he finally came over, it was to answer the phone (it was me calling **Giggle**). I told him about the door. He said he was sorry and would report it to the front desk, but then said “Honestly, as sad as it is, I doubt he will do anything about it.” My jaw damn near hit the floor. We discussed how it was a fire hazard. He agreed but said that his boss didn’t really care about fixing problems. (DRAMATIC SIGH)

Our adventure continued throughout the state of Missouri. The next stop was Ameristar, St. Charles, Missouri. The parking garage and elevators to the casino leave much to desire. Reminds me of NYC elevators. (the smell is overbearing) We ended up not gambling at the Ameristar because their arcade was down. The internet wouldn’t connect for us to buy an arcade card. It was a bit of a disappointment. Kiddo was looking forward to playing in there and we were looking forward to gambling. (ha.ha.)

Stay tuned for updates on our travels through Ohio, West Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, and New Jersey.
