Surviving NJ

Caribbean Beach Resort

I lost some of the clarity when I changed the size, so I apologize it’s not a sharper image. This is a picture of where we stayed in Disney. We chose the Caribbean Beach resort again this year. We stayed here last year as well, and enjoyed it so much, we went back. It offers [...]

Dinner with Colleen

One of the neat things I got to do while in Florida was to have dinner with my friend Colleen. I missed the Vegas get together since I was doing Disney with my son the following week, so I was tickled that we could work out dinner plans. Other than that, the week was all [...]

Home Again

I’m home! I came back to the shocking reality that it’s only 40+ degrees in NJ today! We were in shorts and tank tops all week in 70′s and 80′s, swimming twice! Sigh…I’m just not a winter girl. It always feels nice to be home, but I’m aching to stroll about or drive with the [...]

Destination: Disney

Will you miss me while I’m gone? I’m going to be leaving for Disney tomorrow. We’re taking a leisurely route, but we’ll get there in time for enough fun. I tossed around the idea of taking my laptop, but one of the things I get out of traveling is time away from my computer. I’m [...]

I Should Be Packing

I’m sitting here at my desk. I should be packing. I’m still sitting here at my desk. I should be packing. You get the general idea, huh? I’ve got to pack my son’s luggage, along with mine. I did the laundry yesterday, so at least that’s all done. I should be packing, and I’ll still [...]

It’s Time to Make a List

Last year, I was so organized when it came time to travel. I’m talking I was PREPARED with a capital P. I had every itty, bitty thing you’d ever need, orgazined, packed and ready. This year, I’ve waited until the morning I leave one too many times, and last time I hit the shore in [...]

Camping and Hotels

There seems to be a lot of RV’s and campers on the road in September and October. I’m guessing it’s because the weather is so nice during this time, that it makes traveling and camping out a delight. We used to have a pop-up camper years ago, but because I was living in a townhome [...]

They’re Going to Vegas, I’m Going to Disney

My friends are going to Vegas in November, while I’ll be heading to Florida. I had hoped to join them for a conference, but my plans went in another direction. It was so hard to hear everyone getting excited and looking at the different Las Vegas Hotels available, because it made me want to go [...]

Skipper Dipper, Peahala Park, LBI

On Saturday they were open, on Sunday they were closed with a sign that said Last Week, Thx. A lot of places were closing up for the season, and will reopen once again come spring. This little ice cream place in Peahala Park, which is in the middle of LBI holds fond memories for me. [...]

What Incredible Buildings

I’ve been traveling a lot these last two years, but one thing I haven’t done yet is gone overseas.  My grandmother went to England to see some of the castles years ago, and brought back pictures and stories of the massive and old magnificent buildings. I saw this one picture of a castle, and it [...]
