It's the wanderer's dream. Throw a dart at a map, book the trip and go. For creators Julien Solomita and Collin Duddy, that dream is a reality in their new original web series, "Last Minute Trips."

Solomita, a popular YouTuber with over one million subscribers, and Johnny Depp look-a-like, Duddy, have partnered through their production company Waffsicle to create the new series. Experienced vloggers (video-bloggers) and filmmakers, the duo brings a new creative perspective to the travel vlog. They bring their audience along for the ride through updates on YouTube, Twitter and Snapchat.

In Ep. 1, the two ended up in Truth or Consequences, New Mexico.

In a world overcome with schedules, timelines and guidelines, it's hard to imagine the creative freedom that comes with this opportunity. Could you imagine? On a Friday morning in Los Angeles, the two sat in front of a computer, threw the darts at a map and googled the potential locations. Later that night, they were in the Albuquerque, New Mexico airport, only to find their car rental booking kiosk was "out-of-order."

"I guess it wouldn't be a last minute trip if this didn't happen," Duddy said pointing to the kiosk.

The universe has a funny way of doing things, however, as "James at Avis" got the two into a brand new Ford Mustang for the same price as their planned Toyota Yaris.

That luck would set the tone for the rest of the episode, as they traveled across the New Mexico to the small town of Truth or Consequences in classic Duddy/Solomita style, stopping for epic drone shots and a cloud-filled timelapse or two.

Fast forward to the weekend of March 18, and the two are back at it again. This time, with a rented red camper van, newly framed map and more clearly contained potential area. The goal for Ep. 2 was to drive to the potential destination, to keep the time and budget more doable for the young production company.

To Utah, they go. Keep an eye out for Ep. 2 of "Last Minute Trips" on YouTube on the Waffsicle channel later this week. For fans of both creators, we can't wait to see where they go next.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
