WHAT THE !?!? Hawaii Edition

March 5, 2013 38 comments

One of the fun things to do while traveling is to keep your eyes open for things that strike you as odd, “different” or downright hilarious. An “I’ve had enough winter” trip to Hawaii produced plenty of grist for my blogging mill, but before we get to the “news you can use” stuff, I thought […]

Baby Boomer Travel Daze

February 16, 2013 19 comments

We left our apartment at 5:30 A.M. for Philadelphia International Airport on Valentine’s Day to commence the first leg of our 6,000 mile journey to Honolulu, Hawaii. My husband, Steve, is an aisle seat person. I choose the window seat so I can look out in case we fly over anything interesting and so I […]

Have Passport – Will Give Back

passport

It’s probably kind of obvious from this blog that when I’m not falling flat on my face or having a melt down because I have to cook a turkey, I like to travel  —  a lot. When we travel we are often privileged to see, hear, taste and feel the beauty that humankind and nature […]

Turkey-Phobia

2013 Post-script below. You all know that this coming Thursday, November 22, 2012 is Thanksgiving day here in the United States, right? Two friends (admittedly, both not from the United States) miscalculated and thought it was on Thursday, November 29th. It does seem to have sneaked up on us awfully fast this year.  That is […]

Another Victim of Hurricane Sandy — Moi :(

Hurricane Sandy Damage, North End of Brigantine, New Jersey

In October of 2012, at our Center City Philadelphia apartment, Hurricane Sandy was almost a non-event for us. We had flashlights ready, canned food and bottled water, but while a cousin who lives in Red Bank, New Jersey didn’t have her electric power restored for eleven days, we barely even heard the wind. Our closest […]

What the ?!

(“Our submission”? Who am […]

Hoot, the Scaregull, Scowling at the Menacing Sky on Our Deck in Brigantine

I awoke to some rumbles of thunder this morning down tha’ shore in Brigantine, New Jersey.  There was a trembling dog on my bed.  Poor Dino (the dog) developed a thunder phobia last summer at age six. Fortunately, the major storms went north and south, so Dino got himself back together and eventually the sun […]

Tower of Babel

June 3, 2012 16 comments

No, not THAT Tower of Babel.  I’m referring to the one here in the lobby of the 3 star Absalon Hotel near the main Copenhagen train station in Denmark.  I am fortunate to be on a 25 day trip as a trailing spouse.  My physician-scientist husband (Steve) was invited to speak at three European conferences […]

The Apple Don’t Fall Far From the Tree

April 18, 2012 5 comments

  In my last post, I shared the fact that our travel plans seem to “foment war, revolution and Biblical weather”.  I also mentioned that we have so far dodged earthquakes and tsunamis.  We have also been spared any erupting volcanoes—we don’t count Kilauea on the Big Island of Hawaii because we went there on […]
