We headed back to the city today. With a short stop for breakfast at the Bagel shop. Even in the Hamptons the New York Bagels are great! After getting back we took the train into Manhattan to Times Square where we went to look for show tickets; more on that later. While Bob and I were waiting in line, everyone else went to the Hershey's store and the M&M's store. Way to expensive to buy anything. I was insisting on having some great New York Pizza for lunch, unfortunately we picked a real dud. It was way over priced and wasn't warmed up enough. After that we walked down to china town and burned a few hours milling around. We stopped again for some dim sum and beers and before we knew it, it was time ... read more

Bonjour, All was off to to great start. The plane was not full, I had a row to myself and we departed on time. LIfe is good. About an hour into the flight when I was stretched out on my own narrow bed the captain announced that. THE COMPUTERS HAD FAILED AND WE WERE HEADING BACK TO JFK. There went my dream of a good nights sleep. Since we were still heavy with fuel, the entire emergency brigade met us on the ground. I had visions of jumping on a slide and crashing to the ground. Thankfully, none of that happened. We taxied to a gate and waited, deplaned and waited for new equipment to arrive. To keep us happy American provided chips, popcorn, cookies, water, soda and tangerines. The tangerine was good. Eventually they announced ... read more

Bonjour à tous Ce matin debout tôt, pour me rendre Long Island et partir avant la grosse circulation. Pas de petit déjeuner à l'hôtel, juste une cafetière dans la chambre, donc un café. Je vais allé au Starbuks du coin. Quelle surprise désagréable en sortant de l'hôtel, il tombe des cordes. Long Island fait 190km de long pour environ 30 de large, Montauk est ma destination. Bonne idée de partir tôt, par la voie rapide il me faut, une quarantaine de minutes, pour arriver à Brooklyn, 20km environ. Je vais prendre l'autoroute pour sortir de la ville, mais là ca se gâte. Il dessert les aéroports de JFK et La Guardia. Brooklyn à Forest Hill (tennis) 1h pour 7km. Sans oublié la pluie toujours forte. Les 70 km suivants vont me prendre 2h½. Je vais trouver ... read more

Over two years ago me and my husband Scotty moved from San Francisco, CA to his native New York. In these last two years he keeps telling me: Soon, we will move back to California. It's not that I don't like New York, the seasons are so romantic and I've made some wonderful friends. But to be honest, I do miss my native California. About two months ago we decided to move in October! We got the blessing from his mom to drive the family's Kia Sedona from Queens to Los Angeles. We could do a straight shot- but wouldn't it be more fun to stop in different places along the way? I think our trip will take about a month. We love yoga so the plan is to visit one or two yoga studios in ... read more

I am currently writing this from home, which I guess is a bit strange for a travel site, but I never knew this place existed until today. I do intend to use this journal to record my future trips--and maybe write out some memories from past adventures--but I think the majority of my first few posts will revolve around my move to Canada, which is in 3 months. I married a Canadian, and we decided it would be best for me to emigrate North. I'm very excited! But first, to familiarize myself with this website.. ... read more
