First Blog!!! So this trip was a few weeks back but I am trying to become more comfortable using this blog site! Here is my first attempt!! Labor Day weekend, Doug tried to plan a surprise trip to New Hampshire. Unfortunately, I am one of those need to know kinds of girls, and I snooped around until I found out where we were going! He wasn’t too happy but was able to keep everything else on the trip a surprise. We headed up to New Hampshire, stopping at a Worchester breakfast place. We love breakfast food! We then headed up [View Full Entry]

Hello Everyone! I know it’s been a few weeks since I have updated the blog, but here it is- finally! First thing is first: my next farm is in Miami, Florida and I am leaving November 6th to head down there. I’m stopping in New York and Delaware to visit friends, and plan to be in Miami sometime during the week of November 16th.

Dean, my husband, and I drove to Keene today, after dropping my car off at the mechanics. It was a nice drive with the leaves changing color. Once off the highway, we went through a little town called Northfield and there we saw a house all decorated with a Halloween display all over their front lawn - it was impressive. From Northfield to Keene there wasn much Halloween deocrations. Getting into Keene wasn a problem at all as there was hardly any traffic. This year we actually had to pay to park. The mini mall wasn free anymore. After that, we [View Full Entry]

I am just back from working at a summer camp in America! I was working at an All Girls camp in New Hampshire! It was amazing! The camp was a small, private, non- competitive camp up in the White Mountains. I was the arts and crafts counselor as well as a cabin counselor! Day to Day live at camp was tiring but so much fun! I was teaching around 5 lessons a day - but its hardly difficult - just give the kids some glitter, pipe cleaners and gem stones and they can be kept entertained for hours! The special days [View Full Entry]

Hi!! This is my first time really blogging but I decided that since I'm starting to really have a passion for traveling, it's about time I document it while attempting to make it somewhat pleasing to the eye for anyone who decides to read. So far I have been to a few locations inside the US but abroad, solely Mexico and Italy. This, of coarse, I'm intending to change and as fast as possible. The future for me looks very exciting. In the spring I'm looking forward to a second trip to Cancun as an appetizer. Cancun is obviously not the [View Full Entry]

My expected arrival time is 6 am in Irish time, or 1am eastern. I am so excited I don't know what to do with myself! I have been packed up for days.
