Who new National and State Parks are often bereft of full hook-ups? For people, like me, who are not in the know, “dry” camping means the lack of a continuous water hook-up. Without this continuous water-hook-up, a subscribed amount of water has to be added to an RVs fresh water tank. Filling up the … Continue reading

Glamping, Here I Come…. Well, Maybe!
Last summer, I’ve shared with you my previous escapade as a first time RV’er in the camper my husband suddenly “sprung” on me. To say, at the time, I was under enthused was an understatement but as we know, the universe has a sense of humor. For some unearthly reason, I find myself suddenly … Continue reading
NOT AGAIN!
Knowing that it was “spring ahead” time in a few weeks began a slow, creeping adrenaline rush that radiated from the core of my being. Having spent the winter months of January and February in sunny Florida renewed my spirit and lulled me into a false sense of summer. Returning to New York, at the … Continue reading
Living the Dream
Change is inevitable. Change is frightening. Change is uncertain, and yes, chain is predictable. For the last few months, I’ve embarked on my own special journey.

I’m a big proponent of staycations, which are mini retreats that involve minimal … Continue reading

Strut Your Mutt and Other Interesting Ways to Spend a Saturday Morning
When my son asked me if I wanted to run in another 1 mile race, my inner voice started screaming “you’ve got to be kidding!” The 1 mile run I participated in the Saturday of Labor Day Weekend was enough for me. I felt extremely lucky that my knees did not fail me, my … Continue reading

Staycations, Are You Serious?
I live in what is considered a top vacation destination by many. On a good traffic day, New York City is less than an hour away. New York City is in a class all by itself with its hustling bustling activities and amazing sights and sounds on every conceivable corner. Long Island is equally a … Continue reading
