Sharon Springs, New York

Saying goodbye to Massachusetts and heading up to our next destination. We knew that one of the highlights in New York was going to visit Sharon Springs, prior to Cooperstown. Our goal was to see where The Beekman Boys live and work. If you are a follower of the Amazing Race, then you likely know…

Martha’s Vineyard

Four friends on our way to Martha’s Vineyard. Nobska Lighthouse was first built in 1828 and rebuilt in 1876.  It is located on the southern tip of Cape Cod between Buzzards Bay and Vineyard Sound, in Woods Hole, Mass. In a matter of 45 quick minutes we landed in Vineyard Haven, to be greeted by…

Provincetown on Cape Cod…

Moving on down the road to P-Town. This turkey must have got the memo to get out of town! It’s bittersweet to know just how many calories we ate at the Lobster Pot! If you weren’t hungry before, you will be now! No, I did not eat all of this… Starting with Tim’s Clam Chowder….

Let’s Take A Walk in Boston

Every city has its own keen personality. In less than 2 full days we got a sense of history and tradition in Boston. What makes a city tick? Could it be their sports?  You can’t argue that Boston has great fans following the Red Sox, Celtics, Patroits and Bruins. Maybe you want to explore the…

Sights in Boston

Every city has their historic sites, in Boston, they seem to be on every corner. What better way to see the city than on a 2 hour trolly tour. Then you can let your feet do the walking around some of the key places. Let’s start with the architecture of the beautiful cable-stayed Bunker Hill Memorial…

The Parker House in Boston

The adventure with my 3 friends started in Boston, known by the non-Bostonians as Beantown.  The nickname relates to the Boston Baked Beans with molasses, which gives the beans their unique flavor. We stayed at the Parker House Hotel. (Now owned by the Omni chain) The original hotel was built in 1855. Many famous people are…

All Aboard

Welcome to Metrolink.  Now what?  Parking is free, that’s a good thing.  Buy a TAP card. Confused, just ask the regulars standing around, everyone was very helpful.  The TAP card is your access through the turnstile that allows you to board the train. There it is over there. Maybe you’ll need a bike at your…

I Love LA

How often do you take advantage of the city you live in? A few weeks ago I boarded a double decker bus along with some of my friends to do just that. You may have seen “tourists” riding in buses; cameras blazing, as they snap away at sights that those of us that live in…

Take Me Out To The Ballgame

While football season may be your first love, for me baseball was a very important of my childhood.  I played a little softball, not all that great; my brother was an excellent baseball player starting with Little League and all through high school. My mother was a huge Dodger fan, especially Sandy Koufax.  We have…

My Medicare Reunion

This past week was the build up to about a year and half worth of planning for a special high school reunion.  What made it so unique was the occasion.  This was not one of those reunions that meet every 5 years, although we do…This was a follow up reunion from the 45th just 2…
