Drifting Sands Motel, LBI

You can read more about the Drifting Sands motel in Long Beach Island here. We stayed at the Drifting Sands Motel this past week in Long Beach Island. This was my first time staying at this particular hotel/motel. I generally stay in one or two others, but they were fully booked. We liked that the [...]

2 Quick Trips

It’s time to pack away the women’s lingerie. I’ve got two small trips coming up that were sort of unexpected.  I’ll be heading to the shore both next week, and the week after that! I hadn’t anticipated either trip, but they fell in my lap. I’m never one to turn down beach time! Next week [...]

Isn’t She Lovely? Long Beach Island

This is probably one of my favorite pictures taken at Long Beach Island. I went down in April of last year with my sister, and from the balcony of the hotel we were at, I was able to catch this shot. It’s splendid, isn’t it? It doesn’t matter where I roam (and roam I do), [...]

Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

The picture above is of a jellyfish taken at the Ripley’s Aquarium in Myrtle Beach. We spent a week in Myrtle Beach during our trip, and it sort of felt like a really overdone Wildwood. I missed the charm of Wildwood’s boardwalk, and the quieter non-franchise feel of Long Beach Island. Myrtle Beach had a [...]

Ripley’s Aquarium, Myrtle Beach

We went to Ripley’s Aquarium in Myrtle Beach. This was taken in the tunnel. If you’ve been to Sea World, it’s like the tunnel in the shark house, where you walk under the tube that is over you. I enjoyed this section of the aquarium, as it wrapped around in a circle of sort, and [...]

Grand Beach Resort in Orlando

This is Grand Beach Resort in Orlando. The pic is a tad bit blurry because I was shooting it through the screen. We stayed on the 4th floor unit for 3 nights, and this is the lovely view we had from enclosed porch and balcony. It had high ceilings, and offered a nice space with [...]

Plenty of Traveling

If you follow along, you see that I travel a lot. I used to write to a travel blog, but decided to just write about my traveling on this blog. I guess I’m trying to condense my blogs, because I have quite a few! What can I say, I get excited at starting projects. I [...]

Paradise Found

I sat under palm trees, sipped on a drink, and had my feet up, as a gentle breeze caressed my skin. The air was perfect, not a drop of humidity in the evening, and laughter and talking kept us entertained. The days were warmer, but comfortable. The pool was heated, the jacuzzi jets felt great. [...]

Good Timing for Me!

I’m so thrilled to hear that the IzeaFest will be in Orlando this year. The coolest part of this, is I was all ready scheduled to be in that area of Florida when they’re having it. I don’t need to book reservations or anything. It falls perfectly into my plans I made a few months [...]

Long Beach Island Summers

I had just mentioned I was working on a couple fo websites. One of them is about my beloved Long Beach Island! That’s right, I decided to take on the town, and build a website. I’m truly passionate about the area, and wanted to share that with people. Long Beach Island Summers is a resource [...]
