Joe & I decided to just bum around the city and see what we could see. One of the highlights of the day were attending a mass at St Patrick's cathedral. This is the cathedral the Pope gave mass in a couple of weeks ago. It was a spectacular place. We also went to Bryant Park. We checked out Trump Tower and ran into Donald himself. He was very personable and talked to the crowd for quite awhile. Enjoy the pics.... read more

St John was an amazing city. Our tour guide knew all the ins and outs of the city. They Bay of Fundy was interesting. Watching the salt water swirl with fresh water was crazy. Then this guy comes along and decides he is going to "ride the waves" in a kayak. Besides the water being in the low 40's and waves and swirls were crazy fast. This is also where I started taking lighthouse pictures.... read more

Since we didn't have an excursion planned we decided to stay on the ship and take pictures from each of the decks. It was a relaxing day to say the least. I was also obsessed with sail boats. They were everywhere...... read more

The weather is being a pain in our a--. Since there was/is a good chance the hurricane would be coming our way the Navy base we were staying at recommended we move inland. So in the rain yesterday we packed up and hit the road to head up into Pennsylvania. It's still raining and the worst is still to come. We can handle rain, its the high winds we worry about. Time will tell how long we will be in PA. This all better get over with since we have tickets to see the Kelly and Michael show on Tuesday. I just found out one of the guests will be Shaq. How cool is that... More fun to come I'm sure. Hope all is well with everybody else.... read more

Our second adventure to the "city" was to New York City and tour the new World Trade Center. It always an adventure getting in to the city... Since we didn't want to pay upwards of $80 a day to have a campsite closer to the city, we chose to stay at the Navy Base in New Jersey. This equates to a 2 hour train ride to Penn Station in NYC. There we transfer to the subway. We thought we were directionally challenged above ground, try being 4 stories down under. Once you emerge into the streets of NYC the confusion continues. Somehow between the two of us we have only gotten lost a few times. The World Trade Center was simply amazing. When you rise to the 101st floor you have a 360 degree view of ... read more
