Vacation Survival Guide for David Archuleta Fans ~ Don’t leave home without him.
Posted by betsy on Thursday, June 30, 2011
East Grand Traverse Bay, Michigan. Photo by Betsy.
I just returned home from vacay and was inspired to write a little about what I perceived that I missed out on. I wrote it in thirty minutes, so plz be kind, lol.
I have had quite the time catching up on all things David.
I have been out-of-town visiting my daughter and her family. I returned today.
With Twitter on my phone, I received updates. I do not have the internet on my phone, so the updates remained just that. My daughter has a computer, but I could hardly barge in and ask them to get off so that I could hear a new song. 🙂 So we went to the beach. East Traverse City Bay, Traverse City, Michigan.
The air is so clean, the water so blue – it’s been said that breathing the air of this town is akin to taking a muscle relaxer. It’s true.
Sunset on East Traverse City Bay, Michigan.
But next time I leave, I will be more prepared.
Here are some helpful tips for fans leaving town:
1.) Make sure you pack your laptop, if you have one. (I do not. YET) 
2.) Bring your own music, unless you actually LIKE listening to metal.
3.) Do not fret when people start tweeting late at night that your favorite singer is releasing 5 new songs. Sit back and quietly spazz along with them, while sitting at the campfire and discussing the deer that just meandered past you.
4.) Do not hyperventilate when you wake up the next morning to tweets that a new song will be played momentarily, and you have no sound on the available computer. That is a story much too long and boring to go into. Eventually you will hear it (the song, not the long boring story).
5.) Do not worry that you are the only one mentally screaming and running around. Wait, no way, was I? I was.
6.) Do not eat 7 squares of pizza in one go. (doesn’t really go with the article, but on reflection, I thought it sound advice, haha).
7.) When you finally make it home and have the luxury of uninterrupted time to catch up, appreciate everything you just had to leave. I just heard this lyric, “Don’t look down ’cause this is reeeeeeal”.
So glad I finally got to hear this song. By myself. I like it. I don’t care if it’s too high. It’s now connected to time spent watching my beautiful daughter smile at her happy beautiful son
Thanks for the song David. It was everything and more, and so worth waiting for.

Betsy, bet your vacation was awesome…the pictures are just beautiful! Great writeup with all the good tips! It’s funny how I try to book my trips around where David is at or going to be at. I take my netbook and my cds and hope there is a cd player in my room. In case there isn’t, I take my mp3 player and my GPS has a mp3 built in. In my car I have his cds too. Want to be prepared for anything and everything! Actually, a lot of my trips is going to see him, when I can! Is that ODD or what?? My son thinks so! lol It’s so much fun, it’s keeping me young!! Young at heart, anyway! Thank you, David!

Love the writeup, Betsy, and I can SO relate! My not having a laptop (yet) meant that, last summer, when the family took a wonderful trip to the Oregon coast, I lurked in many hotel lobbies in the late evenings, waiting for kids, moms and businessmen to get off the lone computer so that I might have a few minutes to pull up at least one DA site (and risk everyone knowing that, yes, THAT was what I was pacing the floor waiting to see.) I’ve got an iPad now, so next time it’ll be better. And the iPod is a wonder!

Betsy, I could so identify with you. I have a Laptop but don’t take it with me on vacation but have used computers in hotel lobbies. One of the most telling times of my addiction was when I even had to check when I was @ Motab because I wanted to get in on the buzz around Archiuniverse! I have also been known to access friends computer while on vacation @ friends in Seattle.
Love the picture up top. So excited to hear the buzz starting this Saturday!!

Welcome back, Betsy!! Your vacation looks like it was in a really ‘good place’. And, some really sound advice for vacationers.
I can relate totally with the archudeprivation…I spent 4 days last week at my daughter’s home without using a computer–I didn’t want to get onto hers, and I don’t have a laptop (yet) or an iPhone. Boy, when I got home Sunday evening I had the computer turned on and ready to go so I could get the latest as soon as the unpacking was finished. I had a wonderful few days, and I will do it again, but it was so good to get back home to ‘The Voice’. ♥♥
***2 more sleeps till SOF!!*** My heart is starting to race! 🙂 I hope someone does photos and vids, cause it won’t be me….not capable of multi-tasking at David events 😉 …and I’m gonna want to re-live the event!!

I don’t have a laptop or an Iphone and this weekend (SOF weekend of all times) I’m going to have company on Fri. and Sat. lol The time difference may be what saves me for Saturday. They will probably be leaving some time Saturday evening.
I’m very fortunate and grateful to have family to spend the time with and I love them to pieces. Spending time with them is always pure pleasure and somthing I look forward to. But … if the timing just happens to work out so that I can enjoy a CCC (if there is one) on Saturday night too, then that’s just a win win for me. 🙂

I removed the embed of the song. I was under the impression that it was safe to post it that way but Abrra explained that it could still be stolen that way. Sorry. I meant well.
I have a confession to make. At first I didn’t think much of the song. After a few more listens, I am totally in love with it. How does he do that? He makes me love it despite all my protests to the contrary. Now I think it the most beautiful song I’ve ever heard. His voice reaches such wondrous heights and I feel like a satellite soaring right along with him. It is high, but I am so addicted to that high now. 😆 How? Who? Why? What is he?
More confessions to follow about my own Archu-deprivation vacations. Lovely article Betsy. Especially the part where the song will alway be associated with your daughter smiling at her baby.

The archudeprivation during time away from home even when spending it with our wonderful loving families is felt by those with ODD like me. I don’t have a smart phone (yet) but I now have an ipad and it’s getting a fair share of use.
Angelica, your words are music to my ears. I loved the EAM from the get go. David’s voice has to have some spell casting powers because it’s stuck in my head specially that high note in the last chorus, kills me.
Kaycee, you too! Another archumystery.

MTV Buzzworthy Blog
New Song: David Archuleta, ‘Everything And More’
GAH I just wanna squeeze those cute David Archuleta cheeks! Phew. Exhale. Okay he’s 20 now, so he can’t really be considered a kid. But look at that punim! I can’t help it! I get maternal! So sue me!
As cute as he may be, the Idol alum’s new sound is more mature as ever. After leaving Jive Records, Archuleta was reported to have been working overtime on his new material. Though “Everything And More,” which premiered on a Singapore radio station this week, is not a particularly innovative ballad (weird, since he co-wrote it with Grammy winning songwriter Victoria Horn), we do have to give Team Archie credit. He knows what works for him and rarely strays from his sweet spot. Even while on Idol, David’s best performances (probably The Beatles classic “Imagine” and Elton John’s power ballad “Don’t Let The Sun Go Down On Me”) were centered around soft melodies and touching lyrics.
And if we know anything about Arch, it’s that this is exactly the type of heartfelt and wholesome song genetically engineered to make us fall in love with him all over again.

New Music: David Archuleta Croons Sweetly On “Everything And More”
Soaring ballads are totally David Archuleta‘s thing. And, thankfully, he has a new one to croon your eardrums into sweet heavenly bliss with in the form of his new song “Everything And More.”
The piano-laced tune finds David exercising the range of his golden voice; it’s silky and buttery throughout most of it, but he gets gorgeously belty by the end.
Archie is also exercising his songwriter’s pen with “Everything And More.” He co-wrote the song with Grammy-winning songwriter Victoria Horn.

I’m going to throw my 2 cents in on EAM again as well. I liked the song initially, but the more I listen the more I like it. It’s addictive!! I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve listened to it.
The youtube versions I’ve heard have some static in them, though. Is it my old PC or is everyone hearing it that way? Anyway, I can only imagine how good a CD quality version of it will be.
I keep picturing him performing this. I can’t wait to see what he does with it on stage. ♥

I can relate. Last summer I took a two week trip to Europe with three of my friends. We went on a tour of four countries. While the group was eating breakfast, I was waiting in line to use the hotel computer to get the latest on David. My friends didn’t know and I didn’t tell them because I was embarassed. I had a red face when they caught me on the seventh day. They laughed at me in disbelief but I didn’t let stop me. I bought one of those international service phones so that I could call home every day (my husband couldn’t go on the trip). I couldn’t check in with my family and not check on David for two weeks. Right? Thank goodness that there are people on this site that completely understand. Thank you!!

Hi Betsy,
Love the hand stand David and the lake is beautiful, I totally understand what you went through ha, I have to do that a few times a year!!!…visit my mom…no complain here I love being with her, she doesn’t have internet access !!! 😦 but I arm myself with MP3, my walk man phone which full of David’s songs and just in case… always bring along all his cds with me (including other singers and some movies so it won’t be too obvious hee hee). But I find it’s hard not to be able to “watch” him sing, so every 2 or 3 day I have to go to the internet cafe which full of youngsters ha ha and I ‘d feel a little uncomfortable watching a 20 yr old man sing from you tube in public lol but yeah I don’t care ha..
About EAM, I love the song and his voice, it’s a bit high but after listening a few times it just beautiful and sweet, think it’s nice for a wedding or prom lol. I wouldn’t dare to visualize him sing it live on the piano though, I’ll be needing paramedic with extra oxygen!!!!

Then there was the intense anticipation when trying desperately to get Internet connection on my daughter’s laptop at the airport before boarding our flight to come home.

I can relate to this. Back in Oct of 2009 I was with a few fans staying in the Hilton in Providence for the Demi show. This is my home turf, but I wanted to stay connected to my pals, so I stayed at the hotel. We were so busy with lunch and planning for VIP that no one realized David was going to be on the local radio station.

Thanks Ms Abrra for the mp3, i need that to make me sleep and have wonderful dreams. but I need to see his 20 yr old face as he emote, so that video is a must too. Really if people were buzzing with the new song EAM being a nice ballad then JIVE missed the boat in not releasing Falling star as a single. See david loves this song, the only one he did not help write , but was included in his album.
I am excited toooooooooooo, Update of my trip to Manila, I now have my eticket, now packing my bags and will fly 1 pm flight from Sydney to Manila , July 9. To complete it, all I need now is my ticket to the concert . Nothing yet , no news yet……..Hoping with fingers and toes and my old body , that my sister would be able get us VIP tickets if not , nose bleed tickets would be fine.

Am I hearing wrong on the Falling Stars video or misunderstanding–she’s telling David he has 40,000 followers on twitter–does she mean at the moment –or is she terribly misinformed.
As he has 673,171 a last look. He looks confused too.
When it comes to twitter –I am a twit.

Re: 68—never mind –I just figured out her mind went to mush and she became so rattle brained — she couldn’t have said any thing correctly–he has a way of doing that to you–esp. when you’re standing that close.

Ms. VEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE – are you here? Just saw your post @ TDC
I replied to your sister weeks ago but she never replied back! So I thought everything is OK. A couple of days prior to receiving her email, I went to get 3 tickets for Archies who would be coming from HK. No VIP ticket available anymore but I managed to get them Patron seats.
The 3 HK tickets are aside from 3 tickets for Malaysian Archies. Since they coordinated with me a whole lot earlier, they got included in the VIP reservation.
Let me know how else I can help. I have not been able to go around the fan sites to post much so am sorry for missing your message over at TheVoiceDA which I found from Anna just this weekend.

That face conveys the connection he makes to the music and to the listener even with his eyes closed. I have never witnessed anything like it. The reaction of the hostess brought tears to my eyes.

Yes Djafan! That face and all its emotion, GAH! And how his body seemed to exude every note right through the pores of his skin! “When he sang you are so beautiful, yeah,” I swear he was singing it right through the screen to me! Ha! Ha! I bet everyone in that room including the hostess felt the same…We are in some real serious trouble here…I couldn’t be more excited and ready for more! 😉

WOW. Now that’s a screen cap. wow. Have you ever noticed that it often looks like he has a pale grayish/lavender eye shadow on but, of course, HE WEARS NO EYESHADOW? It’s au naturel. I have seen it in the daylight in person. That kind of genuine beauty is rare. /le sigh…

I know it’s near blasphemy, but Falling Stars was never one of my TOP favorites, until this one. One of the most beautiful things I have ever heard.
He is insane. That, “your are soooo, beautiful” at 3:37, will eat you up, and then the yeah-eh-eh spits you out.
Wardrobe, no issues here. 🙂
