On our way to Boston we've made a couple quick stops in PROVIDENCE, RI. This is one of the smallest states in the US. North to south you drive through the state in less than an hour. Well once again we have the "books" to thank for an event we never would have known about. "WATERFIRE". Now at first you may think - ok what's the catch here because water and fire definitely does not go together? Well this is a form of art that is created every summer in this city. A couple rivers flow through the city so they have these steel baskets set-up in the middle of the river and they dump massive wood logs in the baskets and set them ablaze. The water on fire and some dramatic Bach in the background ... read more

I boarded a late morning flight in Tampa...arriving last minute, as always, and getting to the gate JUST as Southwest was boarding their B group...perfect, I was in B group. Had a flight to Philadelphia, with a short stop...no time to even get off the plane, then back in the air for 30 minutes to Providence. The 1st flight was uneventful, but full.

Hey everyone! Thanks for all your messages and comments. I truly appreciate it. Melanie and I had a relaxing summer after our big spring road trip. We really didn't travel anywhere. I did visit Pennsylvania Dutch/Lancaster and Atlantic City with my mother back in August. Mel and I also had a nice weekend in New Hampshire and Ogunquit, Maine this fall and also went to Salem, MA for the Halloween festivities. Even though we didn't travel much we had a great summer full of BBQ's, day trips, a Jimmy Buffett concert (Mel's first) and enjoying each others company. Our next big trip is to Mont Tremblant in Quebec, Canada over Thanksgiving break (Nov 28-Dec 1). I can hardly wait! I haven't been up there in over 4 years! It will be Melanie's first time. After that?? ... read more
