Universal Orlando Shares Details about Ministry of Magic at Epic Universe.
It’s been a few years since I visited Universal Orlando, but I had such a great time exploring the Harry Potter attractions. We even rode the train between the two theme parks, which was a lot of fun. My favorite was the fire-breathing dragon above Gringot’s. Universal is now expanding with the Ministry of Magic at its upcoming third theme park in Orlando. This expansion sounds amazing! Will you be visiting Epic Universe when it opens?
Why you should avoid ‘quiet vacationing’ to prevent burnout and boost productivity.
In our pursuit of promotions and bigger paychecks, we often ignore our families and avoid taking vacations. We don’t get as much vacation time as our counterparts in Europe. Even then, most Americans don’t use all of the vacation days they do get. While it may seem like a good idea to work hard instead of taking time off, this can lead to burnout and lower productivity. Take a break once in a while… Use your vacation days. Create memories with your kids while they’re young. Stay connected with your spouse. And re-energize yourself to get the promotion and paycheck you deserve!
Did water-gun protest in Barcelona cross a line?
In a single word… yes. I can sympathize with protestors who are angry about high prices due to vacation rentals taking away housing inventory. But don’t take it out on tourists who are contributing to your local economy. Instead, vent your frustrations at local politicians who are allowing too many vacation rentals and hotel owners who are jacking up the price of rooms.
