Into the cave nw for the blue crystals and crystal of insanity
http://www.wowhead.com/item=86569/crystal-of-insanity
3% drop, get the fire buff , run away when jumped at low level, easy

Moss covered chests
http://www.wowhead.com/object=221670/moss-covered-chest
maybe get a few appropriate 496 drops, maybe not

get the food buff, the shrine buff, run all three potion buffs, and piju 
buffs
it gets pretty easy up to 91-92 elite with 496 gear
Intro quests lead you to the buffs and cave, the time worn journals 
gives some backstory.

then join a frog group and make a lot of frogs lootable

All of which will be pretty useless in a week with wod greens.
just make sure to get the crystal.

Then, just enjoy being a tourist
