We are now beginning my series of blog posts on our trip to Australia. Unfortunately, in the upgrade to iOS5 we lost our ‘plane food’ pics on Bill’s phone. When the file gets restored by Apple, I’ll post our usual inflight meal pics! We prepared thoroughly to ensure our flight from JFK to MEL would…

Labor Day Weekend
A few weeks ago we celebrated the unofficial end of Summer with a trip Upstate for Labor Day weekend. It was going to be a relaxing few days. A family dinner back at the Carolina House (where we had our wedding party) and a trip to the Columbia Country Fair. I am a sucker for…
Clove Road School
After the party, we stopped by an old schoolhouse that sits on a quiet road in Castleton-on-Hudson. We knew nothing about it – there are no signs or anything explaining what is there. We had no idea whether it was a schoolhouse or old church hall – as there was also an old cemetery there…
#blogjune – Day 12 – Donny and Marie Madness!
My mum is a pretty big Donny and Marie fan. When Ma and Pa visited in 2009 and we went to Vegas, we naturally had to go to the Donny and Marie show at the Flamingo! It was one of the most fun nights ever. The stage show was really good and we had unbelievable…
#blogjune – Day 2 – Going Dutch
The past weekend was the Memorial Day long weekend here so we decided to venture to Pennsylvania to spend some time in Lancaster County. I spent three days simply sighing at the beauty of the countryside. It was magnificent and so pristine. The farms looked like scenes from a historical postcard. It was just perfect….
Beantown, Lobstah, LL Bean and Cape Cod
We just got back from three days in New England – it was so nice getting out of town and seeing some different surroundings and reliving Yankee magazine moments. We would go from New York, to Connecticut, to Massachusetts, to New Hampshire, to Maine and then back again. Awesome! We left the city straight after…
Goodbyes never get easier
The range of emotions over the past four weeks (actually make that the past 12 months!) have been a rollercoaster. Today, there is no doubt about it as a little cloud of sadness hangs over our apartment. It is always like this after goodbyes and yesterday, as I bawled my eyes out in the street…
Lake Placid Public Library
Of course, when you are on a honeymoon you just have to visit libraries right? Right! We had a lovely little adventure at the Lake Placid Public Library today. It is located on the main street of Lake Placid and is a gorgeous library that fits perfectly into the surrounds of the town. The catalog…
Countdown…
In approximately 8 hours, we’ll all be together… I’m excited! Fresh towels and clean sheets await them after their long, long flight. I made a huge and delicious Shepherd’s Pie for dinner and Bill made a gorgeous mouthwatering Apple Pie for dessert. Then they can have a beautiful long sleep in our cozy apartment. Tomorrow……
Great Ocean Road Day 1
With regards to our Australia trip back in April, my last post was about Sunday of our first week. On Monday we would embark on an adventure to my favourite place in the world – the Great Ocean Road. With the Great Ocean Road, I have camped (as in bush camping – no showers or…
