I'm just back from a
jolly good EPIC holiday in
Florida - my very first time in the
USA and most certainly not my last! If you couldn't guess, I've had the holiday of a lifetime and
I thoroughly enjoyed traveling alone to meet my companions on location - it wasn't half as scary as I thought it would be - in fact I LOVED flying alone! This break has been planned for a little while alongside a family wedding with
the bearded one my boyfriend (of whom I celebrated 6 months with whilst here, swoon!) and his family & friends, as well as a quick trip to
Savannah (Georgia) planned whilst in this area. We have been staying in
The Villages, a very unusual experience for any first in the States... it's a retirement settlement in Sumter county, Florida, a friendly, age-restrcited "golf cart community" for the over 55's - long story as to how I came to stop here, but I've had a blast and I want to be back there in the sunshine right now! We stayed at
Towneplace Suites by Marriott within Lady Lake and every morning started with a dip in the pool and a quick bronzing session on the poolside beds - pure heaven. The hotel was air conditioned, but when hopping over to Savannah for a few days during the trip I really noticed just how reliant I had become on this haha... phwoar, sweaty wasn't the word!! And then the adventures started... so many parties, plans & gatherings arranged, days out to some truly inspiring locations, pre-wedding celebrations including Bachelor/Batchelorette parties, some great company, amazing food & drink to sample (I'm in love with Shrimp & Grits!) and a huge amount of fun in our own private golf buggy between town squares.
I've got so much to tell you on this trip, so to start, I want to show you a little video that will tell you much more of a story about the golf buggying we've just had a giggle doing. (Check out my dirty laugh at the end of this video, I can't believe just how much my life has changed over this past year and the adventures my #80Stays travel challenge has taken me on...
wow!)

You all know by now that I'm a HUGE "Breaking Bad" geek, right? If you don't know, check out my Breaking Bad Afternoon Tea guide here! I'm now excited to announce that I am co-hosting a one-off supperclub event on Thursday 21st May 2015 with Cambridge's very own "Mr Cake" - a fellow sweet treat lover - for the 2015 Eat Cambridge food festival. 
It's going to offer a "Breaking Bad" themed food & drinks menu, combined with a game or two of our new favourite and darn right naughty card game; "Cards Against Humanity". If you are a terrible human being and love one, both or none of these elements, this is a supperclub for you all - so long as you are aged 18 or over! Your hosts for this very adult pop-up supper club plan to bring guests together over a themed party game for horrible people (Cards Against Humanity) combined with a menu inspired by the biggest TV phenomenon of recent time; "Breaking Bad"! Dine on a three course meal designed to please the biggest Heisenberg-loving geeks around the table, whilst playing a darn right awkward game or two of the most hysterical card game taking the world by storm. 
Running from 7.30pm until late, slip inside a top secret Cambridge city-centre venue for an immersive "Breaking Bad" experience orchestrated by me, Miss Sue Flay - including a delicious savoury menu brought to you by the venue's chef in collaboration with "Walt's BBQ" and "Los Pollos Hermanos", followed by a very special "Breaking Bad" pre-dessert and dessert brought to you by Mr Cake. Also included are FOUR alcoholic drinks, including two cocktails specially created for this event and two locally brewed craft-beers for you to enjoy alongside your food - and the venue also has a fully stocked bar from which you can purchase additional drinks if you want to make a full on night of it! 
So get fed, get drunk and get to know your dining companions very quickly over a hilariously raucous game or two of Cards Against Humanity, accompanied by a cool "Breaking Bad" inspired soundtrack. Expect to see edible crystal meth of some form (shhh, it's a secret as to how we intend to present this!) and enjoy our fantastic central Cambridge location, of which will be revealed to guests closer to the event - we don't want to a Mexican standoff once people find out where we are cooking now, do we?! 
*This is is an event purely for the unshockable.* STRICTLY 18+ BOOK YOUR TICKETS HERE NOW! £55 per hit.
