Introduction: The Enchanting Allure of Mayberry

It was fun for me personally to discover a trending YouTube video featuring James Corden’s Astronaut Training with LEGO2 Movie Stars that include Chris Pratt, Elizabeth Banks and Will Arnett. What made it fun is because as I have been several times to the NASA Space Center located in Huntsville Alabama Space and their Space Camp is something I only dreamed that I could have experienced as a youngster as I was an avid fan of NASA back then.
James Corden invites the stars, Chris Pratt, Elizabeth Banks and Will Arnett of The LEGO Movie 2 to Space Camp at the NASA Space Center in Alabama for a battery of astronaut ready tests to determine who is most fit and qualified to make a career change as an astronaut.
The always skit funny James Corden and his wayward cast of NASA wannabe Reluctant Astronaut recruits are welcomed to Space Camp by Captain Robert “Hoot” Gibson who is a retired US Navy fighter pilot and a NASA Space Shuttle Pilot who logged over 36 days in orbit. Don Knotts would have loved to been in this group.
One of the first test that Captain Gibson puts the recruits through is with the Space Camp Dual Centrifuge System designed for trainees.
The Centrifuge was my favorite ride at the Huntsville Alabama NASA location although the Group Centrifuge System intended for the general public was one I personally went on and it thankfully had a lower impact rating attached to it.
My favorite part of this whole video is when James was in the Space Shuttle simulator and broke out to the tune, Rocket Man by Elton John. Hilarious!
I’m guessing by now that you have watched this amusing video in it’s entirety and agree that it’s pure fun and games for this foursome of soon to be rejected Astronaut Cadets. If ever you are traveling in the great state of Alabama, the U.S. Space & Rocket Center in Huntsville is an absolute tourism destination location that you must visit. It is an interactive and highly integrated Space Museum in itself. Be prepared to spend the entire day there.
In the conclusion of this testing, Captain Hoot Gibson announces to the trainees that all of them exhibited the intelligence, bravery and creativity that they look for in Astronauts, but there can be only one winner. With that said, he announces that Elizabeth Banks is the winner because she had the Right Stuff in the final analysis. Elizabeth took it like a true and quite humble champion by quickly asking, ” When do we go in space?” You have to see the funny reactions of everyone else.
Also be sure to watch The Late Late Show with James Corden weeknights at 12:35 AM ET/11:35 PM CST. Only on CBS.
As always… Safe Travels Everyone!

I Don’t Travel Because… It’s Always A Lack Of Money Issue
Do you have a desire to travel (wanderlust) but when it comes down to it the reason you don’t is because it’s a money issue? Why if I told you that I can personally help you with changing that situation within a month if not sooner so you too can start enjoying the GoodLife everyday starting today?
How is that possible? Have your ever heard of crowd funding?
Now I’m not speaking of the traditional crowdfunding sites like Kickstarter, Indiegogo, GoFundMe or Patreon that are marketed with multi-million dollar budgets within all forms (television, radio, print, etc.) of the mainstream media everyday.
Actually it is those high profile crowdfunding platforms that you have to pretty much market all of your personal crowdfunding campaigns yourself to countless friends, family and total strangers in order to get donations. It’s also those high profile crowdfunding platforms that are designed to receive all of your donations first so they get their commissions initially before you receive anything.
What I am talking about is the new method of cooperative crowdfunding where you are funded peer to peer and most often start receiving 100% of your donations within hours if not a few days. There are no middlemen companies involved to get their percentage of your donations first… and you really need to only find just TWO PEOPLE to start donating to your cause (not thousands) to get the floodgates of other donations to open up and start streaming in.
It’s indeed a Crowdfunding Revolution that is taking place globally and with the recent advancement of a new technology component called the Mobius Loop technology system that is now in place, it’s definately the right time and place to begin to Fund Any Or All Of Your Dreams today!
Are you ready to take a look yet?
Just CLICK THIS LINK RIGHT HERE or on the image above, fill in your information and then simply just sit back watch a few short videos, especially the last one to see what it’s all about. I guarantee you will be impressed how easy it can be.
Introducing our newest monthly segment at Travel USA Discounts… it’s our TOP 3 TRAVEL USA VLOGGER’S REVIEW. Over this most recent holiday season our staff got together to come up with a fun project that we could do collectively as a special segment each month for our ever populating viewership base.
We decided to start this January 2019 a vlog review segment and feature three different USA related VLOG Channels from YouTube and showcase and review three of their respective videos each. Sounds fun, right?
With that said, we searched YouTube videos high and low for the most interesting vlogs out there that caught our eye. Going into this search, our thinking is that our criteria for selecting our initial video choices will be rather simplistic. We were looking for vlog videos that offered the most genuine and original content.
We also looked at the personalities of the vloggers if they had fun, a sense of adventure while projecting enjoyment doing their videos. Finally their videos had to resonate with those of us that love to travel to a variety of destination locations all across America.
It really doesn’t matter to us if your content is the most polished with professional edits, music and dialog however we do look for vloggers with upbeat likeability traits. We love those that also portray a sense of anticipation and discovery within their travel videos too.
A lot of our viewers agree that it’s not really the final destination location of travel videos that capture their interest and imagination but sometimes it’s the entirety of the journey from start to finish. That’s why many successful travel vloggers will have video footage of them leaving for their destination by car on a fun road trip or by air travel with shots of them at the airport leaving, or showing the wing outside their window high above the clouds.
An Open Invitation To Vlog About Traveling The USA
Let it be known that we at Travel USA Discounts are offering everyone an Open Invitation to vlog about travel destination locations, both big and small within the USA and submit it to our staff to potentially get it featured at some point on our blog. You can be a newbie vlogger or a seasoned pro.
You can submit personal vlog storylines of just getting started vlogging with only your smart phone camera while using a free online video editing software to advanced professional video editing technology.
The point is, if you can produce favorable vlog content, chances are that we will want to at some point showcase your work. You can create a video from a visit to Times Square in New York City, or a video from a travel to a remote cornfield in Albion, Nebraska. Remember, it’s not where you shoot your video, but rather your adventurous storyline behind it.
#1 The Wandering Wyatt’s – Blair & Matt
Starting off our Top 3 Vlogger Reviews, in no particular order we discovered Blair & Matt. Their YouTube channel is named, “The Wandering Wyatts.” To find them, our staff used a particular travel vlog usa search method that pulled them right up. After reviewing numerous videos within their channel, they pretty matched much all of our criteria guidelines.
All we can say about this fun couple is that we all here at Travel USA Discounts have become big fans of theirs… almost instantly from the first video of theirs that we reviewed.
WELCOME TO THE WYATTS WANDER TEXAS SERIES
This is the first video we came across in 2019 that we discovered. It was created by a young couple that vlogs for enjoyment named Blair and Matt known as the Wandering Wyatt’s.
Their opening introduction in this video really captured our interest regarding the beer bottle caps that actually promote small town destinations all across the State of Texas. What an innovative idea.
Actually it’s a bit of genius when it comes to travel promotions if you ask us. Wyatt discusses his great idea to travel to the first location that pops up under the bottle top.
On this second video from the Wandering Wyatt’s, what we really like about Blair and Matt a lot is their transparency regarding all things personal including earnings that they have received from their YouTube channel. They also openly talk about other sources of revenue from their channel that they may eventually plan to pursue.
When it comes down to it their vlogging adventure started as a simple hobby or passion of Blair’s and kind of evolved into what it is today. She receives sheer enjoyment from putting their videos together and editing. This helps them connect with other people. The modest amount of money that they get from YouTube for their channel is just considered by them to be bonus income.
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO OUR YOUTUBE FAMILY!
This video is their first one in 2019 and is quite informative as Blair and Matt spend a few moments to update their channel subscribers where they been recently. Blair explains that they disappeared for awhile to spend some quality time with loved ones over the Christmas Holiday season. For those that didn’t know, there is a baby on the way and is sure to bring much excitement and blessings into their lives.
They also discuss plans to not make too many plans in their immediate future until they figure things out. The last part of this video, Blair & Matt share lots of video and pictures of fun and games with family over the Christmas.
We think the Wandering Wyatt’s YouTube Channel is only going to get better and better in the months and years to come. With the addition of a new baby, they decided to put their RV Travels on hold for awhile as they clear their property to build a new container style home. We are anxiously looking forward to many more entertaining videos to come and wish Blair & Matt much success in their future.
Be sure to subscribe to Blair & Matt’s, The Wandering Wyatt’s channel on YouTube today!
If you like big Mall Shopping Centers, there is none larger then the Mall Of America. See Makenna and Kyle as explore this massive mall while in Minnesota and experience a variety of high tech amusement park rides and food with a little shopping along the way.
By chance they encounter fellow youtuber named Marissa and her family. Kyle notices her vlogging camera and strikes up a quick conversation confirming that yes she vlogs too. After lunch, they all decide that it would be a lot of fun to enjoy each others company and ride on all the amusement rides together.
Looks like a great time for all at the Mall Of America indeed.
Driving Straight for 9 Hours During 6 Month Road Trip
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to go on a road trip across America for 6 months? This video captures Kyle and Makenna’s midwestern journey that has them leaving Denver Colorado to trek across Kansas for a quick pitstop in Wichita, then to Kansas City for awhile on their way up to Iowa to spend some time with family.
Before leaving Denver they switch vehicles with friends for a larger, more roomy Chevrolet Suburban to continue on their journey. See Kyle and Makenna traveling across the great plains for over 500 miles seeing nothing but flat terrain and hundreds of wind turbines off I-70.
As darkness arrives they finally arrive at their destination in Wichita. They were scheduled to MeetUp with some of their YouTube Channel Fans at the Fairmount Coffee House. It seems everyone had a great time with fun loving conversations and a quick game of Yahtzee.
Say, isn’t that the Fairmount Coffee House location they went to across from Wichita State University? Yep, that’s my hometown where I grew up and the college I went to school at.
The next day Kyle and Makenna plan to get up early in the morning and head out towards Kansas City for their next stop on their way to Iowa. During their visit to Kansas City, they plan to a lot of sight seeing and also catch their first ever NFL game between the Arizona Cardinals and the Kansas City Chiefs. Good times ahead!
Do you Gott Love yet? We do here at Travel USA Discounts and are really looking forward to Makenna and Kyle’s next video adventure for sure. Be sure to subscribe to Makenna & Kyle’s, Gott Love channel on YouTube today!
You can tell Tess has great taste in everything she experiences in life and that includes her relationship with Patrick, her soon to be husband. You will soon discover that Patrick is also a fun loving adventurer as well and their sometimes this couples impromptu travel escapades make it always exciting to tag along with them and experience life to the fullest.
We were all simply amazed by not only Tess’s storyline of traveling to San Francisco to make this video, but the radiance and likability factor that both she and her fiancé Patrick projects on video.
Home town in Minnesota and Wisconsin
Living your everyday life in New York City can be fun and adventurous in itself however knowing where you come from can be just as exciting as we see Tess and Patrick return to their roots to revisit where they grew up. Minnesota and Wisconsin has never looked so good!
It’s always fun to see someone’s hometown from their own eyes as they recreate experiences with family and friends that made them who they are. In Tess’s home state of Wisconsin, you will see scenes of them riding bicycles around the neighborhood on a summer day, waltzing through beautiful sunflower fields in the countryside, eating stone fired pizza outdoors at a community gathering and having fun on the local lake with friends.
Speaking of having fun at the lake, the last part of this video takes us to Patrick’s home state on Minnesota where there’s over 10,000 lakes to choose from to swim and have fun. It’s obvious that one of Patrick’s passions growing up in his hometown was going down to the local library to get a good book and maybe even hang out downtown to enjoy a cold summertime refreshment drink with a straw.
Visiting the local garden market looked like pure enjoyment as did just relaxing on the spacious front porch at home.
This video concludes with Tess and Patrick’s visit to a nearby local waterfall attraction and a day ending boat ride on the local town lake that perfectly framed their visit to Minnesota.
Pacific Northwest – Portland and Seattle at Twilight
It’s very cool where you can visit somewhere in the USA that you can connect to a famous movie that was filmed on location there. In this case you will see how passionate Tess is regarding the movie Twilight (2008) as a lot of it was filmed on location just outside of Portland OR.
Patrick, are you really starting your day off for breakfast in Portland at VooDoo Doughnuts with a Captain Crunch cereal topping on that huge doughnut? It was really fun Tess & Patrick attempt to recreate famous scenes from Twilight with reciting movie script lines from sort of information based cue card markers along their path.
In the last minute they decided to hop on a train to Seattle Washington for an overnight stay. The next day they decided to explore the world famous Pike Place Market area and experienced tons of fun.
So we think Tess’s Channel brings her viewers tons of videos that accentuates her and Patrick’s normal, everyday genuine personalities that also integrates a sense of beauty, fashion and travel adventure into their everyday lifestyle of just being who they are.
Also, most of you have likely figured out by now that Tess & Andrew are engaged to be married. Be sure to subscribe to their channel on YouTube to follow their Week In My Life video series as they prepare to announce the big day.
As loyal channel subscribers ourselves, we at Travel USA Discounts wish this happy couple our very best and a prosperous future together. Congratulations!
So there it is. That’s our Top 3 Travel USA Vlogger’s Review for January 2019.
🙂
As always… Safe Travels Everyone!

Christmas Village USA – It’s Leavenworth Washington
Many refer to it as Christmas Village USA and it’s located in Leavenworth Washington just about 30 miles east of Seattle. Other then Frankenmuth, Michigan and perhaps Helen, Georgia there is possibly no place like this Bavarian themed looking village of Leavenworth Washington during the entire Christmas season. In fact it was once rated by the Travel Channel as the #1 Christmas Destination to put on your bucket list to visit.
Every year at this time, Leavenworth is decked out for Christmas with aromatic smells of chestnuts roasting on an open fire, crooning Christmas carolers strolling about the streets, numerous festive food and beverage booths, horse drawn sleigh rides, local seasonal holiday crafts, outdoor musical entertainment and even Saint Nick himself.
Leavenworth Is Truly A Winter Wonderland That Surrounds You
This picturesque Bavarian-themed mountain village in Leavenworth is a tourism haven for browsing the town’s quaint old-world themed shops, savoring authentic German food from street stands and local restaurants as you enjoy live outdoor Omp pah pah Christmas Holiday musical entertainment. To really get in the Christmas spirit, take a fancible ride on a horse-drawn winter carriage.
At dusk, gather with thousands of other visitors for the Christmas Lights Ceremony along the town promenade. Watch in child-like excitement as all the surrounding trees and buildings all over Leavenworth suddenly come alive from the tens of thousands twinkling lights that magically illuminate Leavenworth in all of it’s Christmas time glory!
Tourism in Leavenworth Washington is fantastic any time of the year. In fact the folks that help promote Leavenworth Tourism claim they have four distinct seasons to show off the wonder and majesty of their little corner of the world. The Leavenworth Chamber of Commerce and Visit Leavenworth do phenomenal promotions all year long. We often use our Travel USA Discounts BLOG to promote other Bloggers or those of you that VLOG across America showcasing hidden gems to visit like Leavenworth. Our staff has discovered a cute couple named Mara and David under the YouTube Channel, Fireside Traveler to feature within this post. See for yourself as they drive US Highway 2 east across Stevens’s pass through the Cascade Mountains to explore Leavenworth, Washington during the festive Christmas Lights Ceremony. What an experience!
I don’t know about you but I’m thinking if I can’t get to Leavenworth Washington this holiday season, I could at least get to Starbucks to see if they have a Egg Nog Mocha like David got on his and Mara’s way to Leavenworth. I’m sure you will agree that now when anybody ask you, “Where is the best Christmas Village in the USA, you will say it’s in Leavenworth of course.”
Merry Christmas!

Let’s take a look at the Top 3 Thanksgiving Day Parades in the USA this season. It’s an annual event in these select cities that takes place in November obviously on Thanksgiving Day itself. Every year, thousands of locals and out of town visitors come to watch theses respective parades, and more than 50 million people view it live on television. There are bands, singers and dance groups, performance fanfares, and of course cheerleaders too. The main attractions always seem to be huge balloons with the image of cartoon characters and super heroes that are indeed bigger then life.
Many volunteers are working to make this year Thanksgiving Day Parade successful. If you’re in NY, Philadelphia, and Chicago, the parades are the events you should not miss. Certainly the month of November is the time of year when America sets aside a day to give thanks and spend time with the family at a table full of vegetables, stuffing, turkey, and pumpkin pie.
Thanksgiving Day has been highly celebrated nationwide since George Washington, the very first president of the United States declared the first Thanksgiving Day in 1789. Even before that there has been different churches within early America that have celebrated Fall Harvest Festivals within their respective communities to give thanks and offers of community fellowship.
How did a nationally recognized single day of Thanksgiving come about? Well, of course the most favorite story says that newly arrived pilgrims were near starving to death in 1621 at Plymouth, Massachusetts. It was because of the disturbing winter patterns in those years when the local native Indians pretty much came to the rescue of the pilgrims with fellowship and offerings. After teaching the Pilgrims how to cultivate the land, the two groups mutually enjoyed a successful harvest, thanked God and celebrated together for three days.
Here are the top 3 Thanksgiving Day Parades
Are you wanting to know what are the top 3 biggest and best Thanksgiving Day Parades across the USA? It’s actually no secret that thousands of Americans have selected their personal favorites from attending these select parades in person or simply watching on television. The top three are from the cities of New York, Philadelphia and Chicago.
·Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York
·Thanksgiving Day Parade in Philadelphia
·McDonald’s Thanksgiving Day parade in Chicago
#1. The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade (MTDP) in New York
This well-known Parade does everything it can to create an impressive carousel of extravagant poses, bands, musicians, and personalities. You may have seen this parade in Christmas favorites Miracle on 34th Street. It is always an annual favorite tradition for those to watch on television that stay at home preparing their Thanksgiving Day dinner.
#2. Thanksgiving Day Parade In Philadelphia
Philadelphia actually plays host each fall to the country’s oldest Thanksgiving parade that’s nearing 100 years old. The parade route begins on JFK Boulevard and ends at the Philadelphia Museum. It features top named celebrities, local choirs, dance groups, and classical music groups. As if that was not enough, you can always count on the appearance of Santa Claus too!
#3. McDonald’s Thanksgiving Day Parade In Chicago
You will see many amazing colors as well as an eclectic blend of characters floating, marching and dancing along State Street in downtown Chicago every Thanksgiving day. This always festive and colorful Thanksgiving Day Parade procession in Chicago started in the United States during the Great Depression and its goal was to lift the mood of Chicago. It certainly has.
In conclusion, the Thanksgiving Day Parade in itself can be considered an American holiday tradition. It is celebrated in large cities and several smaller towns all across the USA.
Always remember that Thanksgiving Day is an occasion and opportunity for you to count your blessings for family, friends and the freedom in your life to make choices. It is the opportunity for you to remember those loved ones who may not be with you on this day. Gratitude is the theme. Let’s celebrate this day with enjoyment and bliss!
Happy Thanksgiving!
Gobble Gobble!

Webtalk, a personal and business friendly social network has fully launched but you also need to know why many are saying that Webtalk is Social Media’s New Sleeping Giant. One of the most attractive carrots that Webtalk is dangling in front of you to join ranks with them are their promises to pay commissions to you just for simply spreading the word about Webtalk to anyone and everyone you know and come in contact with.
Yes the compensation plan is quite exciting, but there are other considerations to take a good long look at Webtalk as well. It really couldn’t have come along at a better time with all the privacy issues, and accusations of partisanship coming out of Facebook nowadays. Even though personally I’m just starting to engage myself into Webtalk bit by bit, I must confess that Webtalk is set up far better then Facebook in my opinion. In fact I plan to use Webtalk a lot to post select articles from my Travel USA Discounts Blog to capture even more social buzz activity and link juice.
Webtalk is the world’s first paid social network platform. It’s the smartest way to manage your relationships both business and personal. Control the news you see and share quite easily.
Within Webtalk, you can easily setup a new contact as either a personal friend or business contact. There are even sub categories like prospect, or team member. I know people who maintain more then one account on other networks because they are trying to keep business, separate from their personal contacts.
The video below is a very insightful introduction to WebTalk’s new “SocialCPX” Platform. I must say it’s brilliant! With SocialCPX, you can literally Earn Commissions as a FREE User. SocialCPX is all about the motto, “Being Social Pays Big” in more ways then one. Learn about SocialCPX soon to be recognized as “The World’s Most Lucrative Affiliate Network.”
If you’re interested in seeing what Webtalk is all about and wish to get started, today is you lucky day! Remember it’s by invitation only, but don’t you worry because you can sign up here under my personal invitation. Just CLICK ON THE Image below to open your INVITATION from me to you or CLICK ON the JOIN WEBTALK HERE blue link below.
Again, always remember that Webtalk is totally free to join. You just need an invitation and I have one saved just for you. At the time of this review, there are now over 1.5 million NEW Active Members. Those numbers seem to be multiplying daily as more and more people are discovering Webtalk and what’s it all about. Another great reason for joining Webtalk is that there is an opportunity to market to a whole new audience.
You might be thinking that the last thing we need is another social media site. Normally I would agree, but I think that Webtalk really has a nice feel to it. It seems that when you are a part of something right at the start, it makes it that much more special when you can witness first hand it’s newfound public acceptance, brand recognition & awareness and overall beta stage success.
I think Webtalk will be around a long time and will give the big guys a run for their money. If it pays like it’s promising to do, Webtalk will become huge. Sign up now and get your profile set up right away.
There’s really no reason not to join Webtalk, and the possibilities are amazing. Marketers are always looking for traffic, and this is a brand new, wide open frontier.
Webtalk – Social Media’s New Sleeping Giant I think is here to stay.
Come join me and let’s get social!

The Headless Horseman rides again! You know it’s getting a bit spooky in Sleepy Hollow New York when you can walk around town and see references to the Legend of Sleepy Hollow firsthand yourself. The author of the famous Halloween tale novel, “The Legend Of Sleepy Hollow” was the famed writer, Washington Irving. You will discover that Washington Irving himself had been laid to rest here in the local iconic cemetery of Sleepy Hollow amongst many other characters from his famous novel.
The hamlet of Sleepy Hollow is located about 25 miles north of New York City along the eastern shore of the Hudson River and attracts thousands of visitors each year to it’s world-renowned collection of historic landmarks and places of literary interest. Of course once here, everyone wants to discover the history of the Headless Horseman legend.
Visiting Sleepy Hollow New York during the Halloween season seems to be the most particle journey destination one could make. If you think about it the circumstances surrounding the actual legend itself can become downright scary. The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, written by famed novelist Washington Irving has become a literary classic over the years. A favorite Halloween tale for sure. The Legend of Sleepy Hollow is a story as immortal as any tale has ever been. Of course the story centers around a lanky and weak, but book smart schoolteacher by the name of Ichabod Crane and his quest for love and perhaps courage as well.
Ichabod Crane travels to the quaint community of Sleepy Hollow and finds himself competing against Sleepy Hollow’s resident alpha male, Brom Van Brunt known to locals as Brom Bones for the affection of the township beauty, Katrina Van Tassel. While Ichabod was attending an impromptu Halloween party at the home of Katrina’s wealthy father, he starts to tell the story of the Headless Horseman legend. Ichabod is captivated by the tale and then his superstition overcomes him. Later that evening while traveling home, Ichabod is chased by the Headless Horseman himself.
The Legend Of Sleepy Hollow tale creates a sense of fascination for all ages every Halloween season. Most people don’t realize that Sleepy Hollow is actually a real place. Most caricatures of the legendary Headless Horseman will show a thundering black stallion will a headless rider dressed in black with a flowing cape, sporting a Jack-O-Lantern as a substitute head. This somewhat scary rendition of that image so perfectly embodies the spirit of Halloween, especially for trick or treaters.
For those who visit Sleepy Hollow New York for themselves, you can read straight out of the book the quote, “There’s a little valley or rather lap of land among high hills which is one of the quietest places in the whole world a small brook glides through it with just murmur enough to low one to repose and the occasional whistle of a quail or tapping of a woodpecker is almost the only sound that ever breaks in upon the uniform tranquility a drowsy dream.”
Something else seems to loom over the land there in Sleepy Hollow and pervade the very atmosphere. The legends of the generational town folk also claim that Sleepy Hollow was bewitched long ago by a high German doctor during the early days of the settlement. Another legend states that an old Indian chief named Narwahro of the Weckquaesgeck Indians served also as a type of prophet and medicine man of his tribe. This Native American tribe was originally a part of the Mohican Tribe. Chief Narwaro often held his pow-wows within the Sleepy Hollow region footprint long before it was years later discovered by master Henrik Hudson.
Tourist absolutely love walking around Sleepy Hollow uncovering it’s history and legends as if they were one in the same. Many comment that there is still some kind of haunting feeling that permeates over this land but at the same time it feels inviting with modern buildings that blend favorably with the old landmarks that are described in the story. The old Dutch Church still remains as the main centerpiece of the legend to see.
This Dutch Church seems always to have made it a favorite haunting venue of troubled spirits as it sits on a quiet knoll surrounded by lofty elms locust and maple trees. The Church’s whitewashed walls glisten modestly like Christian purity beaming through the shades of darkness. You can almost see for yourself the apparition of a dark figure on horseback without a head as some say it is the ghost of a Hessian Officer whose head had been blown away by a Patriot fired cannonball in some nameless battle during the Revolutionary War.that haunts this enchanted region and seems to be commander-in-chief of all the powers of the air is the apparition of a figure on horseback without a head it is said by some to be the ghost of a hessian trooper whose head had been carried away by a cannonball in a local battle during the Revolutionary War.
Getting Spooky in Sleepy Hollow can happen pretty much anytime of the year, however during the late October Halloween season is always the most favorite time of the year when local tourism hits it’s peak.
Did you know that The Legend Of Sleepy Hollow, a gothic story by American author Washington Irving was published in 1820. That’s just two years after Frankenstein was published by 21-year-old Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley, in 1818. Frankenstein is frequently regarded as the world’s first science fiction novel. The gothic story of Dracula came along more then 70 years later as it was written by Abraham “Bram” Stoker in 1897.
As you wander from the Dutch burial ground and into the neighboring Sleepy Hollow cemetery, you can easily locate the grave of author Washington Irving. What makes reading The Legend Of Sleepy Hollow so unique is that it always feels like Washington Irving is more like a narrator talking as he educates you on the culture of the town. It seems like he knows every person in town and like a fly on the wall, you can imagine him at the local pub in conversation with all. This is how all his characters within his story come to life to make the Sleepy Hollow legendary.
Sleepy Hollow – The Motion Picture 1999
In this 1999 Hollywood Movie Classic version of Sleepy Hollow, actor Johnny Depp portrays Ichabod Crane as a constable from New York City, sent to Sleepy Hollow to investigate the decapitation murders of three people with the suspected culprit being the legendary apparition, the Headless Horseman. Upcoming Sleepy Hollow Movie Synopsis from Fandango Now.
Paramount Pictures, and Mandalay Pictures presents. Johnny Depp, in a Tim Burton film. “Sleepy Hollow.”
Washington Irving’s tale of Ichabod Crane and the Headless Horseman gets a few new twists in a screen adaptation directed by Tim Burton.
In this version, Ichabod (Johnny Depp) is a New York City detective (constable) whose unorthodox techniques and penchant for gadgets make him unpopular with is colleagues. He is sent to the remote town of Sleepy Hollow to investigate a series of bizarre murders, in which a number of people have been found dead in the woods, with their heads cut off.
Local legend has it that a Hessian Soldier’s ghost rides through the woods on horseback, lopping off the heads of the unsuspecting and unbelieving. Ichabod refuses to believe in this legend, convinced that there must be a logical explanation for the murders.
In time, Ichabod becomes smitten with a local lass, Katrina Van Tassel (Christina Ricci), who is the sweetheart of the burly Brom Bones (Casper Van Dien), and he becomes determined to capture the murderer to prove his bravery and win her heart.
Christopher Walken, Jeffrey Jones, and Christopher Lee highlight the supporting cast; Lee’s appearance is particularly apt, since Burton has cited the Hammer films of the 1960s as a major influence in making this film.
Andrew Kevin Walker and Tom Stoppard contributed to the screenplay.
Rated R for Adult Situations, Graphic Violence
Directed by: Tim Burton – Starring: Johnny Depp, Christina Ricci, Miranda Richardson, Michael Gambon, Casper Van Dien, Jeffrey Jones, Christopher Lee, Richard Griffiths, Ian McDiarmid and Michael Gough.
The video below, published in 2009 is a great narrative production of the history of the Legend Of Sleepy Hollow with several images and movie clips. It actually shows present day video footage as well as the producer visits and walks around the town of Sleepy Hollow himself giving great insight and commentary.
Things are getting spooky in Sleepy Hollow, New York only if you allow it. Are you ready to add this trip to your Bucket List yet? Just beware that once you are there, your imagination can go wild like Washington Irving’s did. At least somebody had a good head on their shoulders in Sleepy Hollow.
Happy Halloween!

How To Travel Vlog – 4 Steps For Beginners is a quick look of how to start a travel vlog. If you were ever interested to maybe start video blogging when you travel across the USA then I would like to share a video that I have discovered that is full of insight and tips to get you started.
If you have you ever gone on vacation with family or took a fun trip with friends, this video is for you.
Today’s tea time we’re going to tackle four steps to create your first travel vlog. Now I know what you’re thinking, TJ I’m not a travel vlogger. Okay I get it but what is travel vlogging? It’s to video log your experiences right? So think of it as creating video memories. Vlogging for me is capturing more flow moments that I can later look back on in life.
Everyone has those experiences that they’d love to put on video because it’s offers so much more than photos.
This video will teach you how to make your first travel vlog and I promise we’ll break it down and make it easy.
We’ll reveal what to film in your travel vlog and how to actually edit your first video. I don’t care how old or young you are or how technologically advanced or creative you are, the most important thing is that you give it a try and who knows you may fall in love with it.
Step One is to start recording with whatever you have. The first travel vlog I’ve ever filmed with, a trip to San Diego with my friends was filmed on my phone. No apps, No tripod. Just handheld. You can start vlogging with any device that records. I bet you already have some clips on your phone or your camera that you combine into a video.
Step Two is very important in creating a travel vlog. It’s all about telling a story that has a beginning, middle and end. Now it sounds kind of complicated but it’s actually very simple. I’m talking about showing movements. Showing how you get from point A to point B. Whatever you’re doing that day or for that trip, let your viewers know what it was like getting there, not just what it was like once there.
You can help tell the story with footage of walking shots, of the scenery leaves, moving ocean waves. When it comes to creating a travel vlog, the journey itself can be so much more interesting than just a destination.
What are some ways to tell the story? Well you can just speak into the camera and say, “Right now we’re walking through a bushy area but you’re about to see the ocean backdrop.” Let your friends and family know what’s happening throughout the day how it’s going, where you are, or you can capture shots of different interesting things.
Your vlog can start with something like a welcome sign or the sunrise. The middle of the vlog can be a main event like for me it’s finally reaching the viewpoint of the hike. The ending of the video can show you packing up your bags or your airplane departing.
People love following a journey journey. Some of my most popular vlogs are travel day blogs and if you think about some of the most popular youtubers vlogs, most of the time they are going somewhere whether it’s by plane, cruise ship, car or train. These modes of transportation seem to be always fascinating to viewers.
Step Three. I know people love to make compilations of epic scenes from their trip and that’s awesome but what makes a travel vlog sparkle and grab a person’s attention is to get personal. You need to capture shots of you laughing or doing activities allowing your personality show on video. This is your travel vlog.
Yes your vlog should be about a destination but it also should also showcase footage snippets of your family & friends laughing, enjoying and just soaking up the experience… even if it’s just a few seconds. This will dramatically make your vlog more interesting, more heartfelt and more meaningful.
A few years later you will look back on it and love every second of it
Step Four. Now that you have all the clips it’s time to head home and edit everything together.
I use an editing software called iMovie.
Whichever editing software you use, like me you start by putting all your video clips, like I took on my phone and put them in the editing timeline folder. I’m just putting these clips in some kind of order to build out my story so the clips I show at the beginning of my hike should be in the front. When I reached my destination viewpoint, that should be in the middle and then you know the ending.
Let’s say you want to spice things up and add some text or even music. It’s very simple. All you have to do is click on the title then drag over whatever style you want.
Just have fun with your editing and when you want to export your production, there’s an icon in the top right corner that you can click on and then you export it.
I want you to know you can absolutely create your first travel video and it is not as intimidating as it looks. Of course your first video is not going to be perfect but you will feel. You will discover by creating it, there’s something truly magical and exciting in experiencing your travels this way.
Just know that creating a video memory of your travels can be both fun and very entertaining not only for yourself but with others too. Start enjoying the GoodLife Everyday yourself and vlog about it where ever your travels take you.
So now you are inspired to start blogging yourself but you have reservations starting because financial or time restraints. What if I told you a super secret many bloggers & vloggers use to eliminate both those worries.
