Hi Everyone, The meeting was a success. As you all know we voted on Myrtle Beach. We are looking at the weekend of Julu 23-25. I have sent out a package with raffel tickets and newsletter.

A Delicious Time at the Festival of Food & Wine ;) A few weeks ago, my husband and I visited Epcot in Disney for the yearly Food & Wine Festival. We went last year for the first time and absolutely loved the experience. With Disney under 3 hours away from us, weekend getaways are only a hop, skip and jump away! Before I go on about the actual festival, let me just redirect the focus on this blog a bit. I created this travel blog as a way to obviously track our travels. So often we go somewhere, have an [View Full Entry]

Hello, Class! Welcome to our travel blog where we will record the information about our travels. Each of you will write one entry that is at least 2 paragraphs long (4-5 sentences each). Include how many miles we will travel on our trip total, how much your airline tickets cost altogether, and your experiences as a traveler. You can write about what you do as you travel, the people you meet, what you like or dislike, etc. Remember to have fun and be creative! :) Happy traveling! Ms. Nichols [View Full Entry]

If you know me and Chernabog, you know that of course there will be food! We tend to eat ... I'd say we practice ethical eating but it sounds so New Age and snobby, doesn't it? The gist of it is that we have fairly clear guidelines for what we'll eat and what we won't eat, and we follow them about 90% of the time. The other 10% we break them and refuse to feel guilty. Anyway the guidelines are, we are primarily vegetarian, eat a fair amount of seafood (about once every two or three days, maybe?), but in general [View Full Entry]

Orlando to Miami - 34°c After yesterday’s very long day at the Magic Kingdom, I woke up this morning with a very sore throat and a bit of a cold. - Perhaps a tell tale sign that I’m getting run down from the early mornings, long days and late nights. I guess when there’s so much to see in such a short space of time, there’s very little time for rest in between stops. Anyway, I “sucked it up”, (as many of Aussies on our bus say) kept smiling and kept going for as long as I could, as best I [View Full Entry]
