If these can be useful, it makes all the extra work of them that much more worth it. The recaps were definitely a labor of love, and kind of burnt me out. I'm glad they have been helpful and informative though. I mean, that was the aim. :-)<br /><br /><br />As a Titanic-enthusiast you would DEFINITELY love the exhibit. It really is fascinating, interesting, and awe-inspiring. I would do the whole thing again - at full price. It just felt really educational and special. The immersive quality of it really impressed me. I just wasn't expecting it to be so well thought out and executed in such an interesting way. <br /><br /><br /><br />The Pompeii exhibit in Seattle is done by the same company, so I am interested to see how it is laid out. I think we are going to go next month sometime and stay overnight, make a little weekend trip of it.Haileyhttp://www.divinemrsdiva.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7034790958999231788.post-81677017518365000712015-03-10T09:52:49.983-07:002015-03-10T09:52:49.983-07:00Thank you so much for the detailed rundown of acti...Thank you so much for the detailed rundown of activities! I have to say that the Titanic exhibit is what's most drawing me to Vegas. I have been obsessed with the Titanic ever since the movie came out when I was in middle school. I've watched all the documentaries and read several books, plus the comprehensive behind-the-scenes film guide on the movie. I would absolutely love this exhibit, both the grandeur and the tragedy because both are what makes the story so fascinating. I'm glad that it was so immersive and had a lasting impression on you. Good museums and exhibits should be exactly that. I also like how they made it personal by assigning you a particular passenger to give you a more personalized experience of the tragedy. Wow! Definitely on my bucket list.<br /><br />I've really enjoyed your Vegas vacation recaps, especially since you've shared recommendations beyond gambling and cuisine. I had no idea there was so much to experience in Vegas, and you've definitely turned me on to traveling there! You should send your links to a Vegas tourism site because they're so in-depth and helpful!<br /><br /><3 Liz<br />www.withwonderandwhimsy.comLiz @withwonderandwhimsyhttp://www.withwonderandwhimsy.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7034790958999231788.post-11113514889001392652015-02-26T12:37:40.375-08:002015-02-26T12:37:40.375-08:00OH yes, it was totally exhausting! lol I feel lik...OH yes, it was totally exhausting! lol I feel like it taught me a valuable lesson in NOT overbooking a trip in the future. I just wanted to do ALL THE THINGS! However, it was fun and totally worth it.<br />I am so happy that the detail and tips from the trip are helpful. I learned a lot that I felt was worth sharing, so if that helps anyone have a smarter trip than I, awesome! I am going to have to read over it all again when we take another trip to Vegas so I remember my foot pain and heed my own advice. lol<br />I'm so happy Nick was in a good mood and everything went smoothly. If my experience with him was a bad one, I would have been devastated! It is REALLY hard not to be a total goober around a celebrity. I've met quite a few (it was sort of a hobby when I lived in Boston and wasn't old enough to go to clubs or bars. lol) and usually have adrenaline in the moment to say hello, if I feel it is a good timing. That doesn't mean I have my wits about me....but I always think I will kick myself later if I don't take the chance. And not everyone is nice, which makes it very nerve-wrecking.Haileyhttp://www.divinemrsdiva.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7034790958999231788.post-13619454106853891002015-02-26T12:29:22.184-08:002015-02-26T12:29:22.184-08:00We did have a fantastic trip!

There are still two more days to tell you about, so I am happy you are enjoying these posts. My goal is to get it all finished and up this week! And I am so glad you were able to go to an exhibit like this Titanic one. It really was fascinating and well done. Thank you so much for reading!Haileyhttp://www.divinemrsdiva.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7034790958999231788.post-52219215274621765432015-02-25T15:41:21.606-08:002015-02-25T15:41:21.606-08:00There was a Titanic exhibit that was traveling the...There was a Titanic exhibit that was traveling the country a few years ago, and saw it when it came to town. It was really awesome, sounds just like the one you saw. Plus in Branson, MO they have Titanic museum which is generally the same experience. I'm sooo jealous you got to meet Nick Carter!! I love the Backstreet Boys, Brian was always my favorite, that's so awesome!! It sounds like you had a really awesome trip, I enjoyed reading about all the activities, tips and of course all the pictures.Saranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7034790958999231788.post-56334507378178767412015-02-24T23:13:27.143-08:002015-02-24T23:13:27.143-08:00I'll have to make that drink again at home and...I'll have to make that drink again at home and tell you what the recipe was. My copycat wasn't exact, but it was close. <br />We did a CSI exhibit at the science museum in Portland a couple years ago, otherwise I probably would have picked that one instead of the aquarium. The Bodies thing I just can't do. It is part fascinating to me and mostly just gross. I don't think I would be able to handle it very well. I don't like the medical shit either. lol We also chose the Secret Garden and Dolphin Habitat, but went on the last day. My goal this week is to get the last two days up and done.<br />Nick was really sweet. I never know, when meeting a celeb, if they are having a bad day or not and I didn't want to push...but he was really nice. It helped I was really the only one there too. I was so excited I finally got to talk to him, even if it was short and quick and I was a dope. lolHaileyhttp://www.divinemrsdiva.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7034790958999231788.post-18174549510574529312015-02-22T03:34:56.295-08:002015-02-22T03:34:56.295-08:00I'm sorry about your bad shoe experiences, but...I'm sorry about your bad shoe experiences, but everything else sounds awesome. I got hungry (and thirsty) at the description of dinner...I love me some bourbon. And some red meat, lol. I probably would have done Titanic, but my other choices would be the Bodies & CSI. (Both are equally fascinating to me. The boyfriend probably would not be fond of either...he gets all squicked out when I watch crazy medical shit on TV and doesn't understand my fascination with CSI...)<br /><br /><br />That's so cool that you got to meet Nick Carter!goingloopyhttp://goingloopy.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
