The Plight of the Un-Named Un-Born
This is a top pick! Our decision to go to Israel started when we heard that Kibbutz Ha'Ogen, where I used to live, were having their 60th anniversary parties over a weekend in September (the Jewish high holidays), and many people who live or used to live on the kibbutz are ...
One more roadblock
This is a top pick! We finally came to the conclusion that we need to rent a car, and better to do it early. Continental has proudly touted their relationship with Avis and Budget, and promised a discount if they transfer our phone call. First we got prices on-line ...
Our tax money at work - The Good
This is a top pick! Two weeks to go, and still no passport. We called the state dept. passport "hotline" (1-877-487-2778) but they didn't want to talk with us unless it was two weeks before traveling. Since it was sixteen days they asked us to call back ...
The Arrival
This is a top pick! We were scheduled to go to the hospital on May 14, 2007 if labor will not start earlier. It didn't! We went! Yes, our baby will be on of the few who will be born on their actual due date. There were some complications though; the umbilical cord ...
Our tax money at work - The Bad
This is a top pick! ... bought a new house, sold our condo and really hoping that the transaction would go smooth. So far it hasn't. Our old town of Linden, NJ has decided to penalize us for their egregious slip-up, as is the way of all governments. In order to ...
Deals in Vegas
Deals: Like I said, hotel was free. Best deal in town is The Deuce, a double decker bus line which runs up and down the strip. Five dollars for a 24 hour pass, or $2 per ride and comes every five minutes or so in front of all major casinos. ...
Merry Chrimbo!!
Merry Christmas 2004! This is the first entry in my travelogue. I'm currently looking after 2 cats and a dog for a prof from the geology department until the 2nd Jan. Beautiful location on the shores of Lake Superior. Temperature hit -30F in Trap Rock ...
Vegas Vacation
Several weeks ago we heard an offer on the radio from Tahiti Village, a timeshare community, to come and see their Las Vegas timeshare. For our troubles we'll receive 4 nights hotel stay on the strip, $200 in play chips, a free marriage ceremony, ...
New York
Hi All Well I made the 10 hour train journey with the company of a French lady, so not much conversation was had, as she spoke little English! Montreal - what a chilled, clean, and french city. I visited several museums - architecture, not ...
Mousetail Landing, State Park
May 13, 2008 Mousetail Landing was named years ago by the people of the area who were employed at the local tannery. A fire broke out burning the tannery to the ground. While everyone was trying to put out the fire and as they watched their means of ...
another day in paradise!
Sooo, another WONDERFUL day in Jersey. Had a guy come up and ask me "Hey Holmes, you need a home entertainment center? We got it for nothing and selling it real cheap!". I declined. Then I went out to get something to eat at the diner next door and ...
Linden, NJ
Well, here's the beginning of my travel blog, as recommended by my wife. I'm here in Linden, NJ and it is not the nicest place I've ever been, especially where I'm working. My worksite is a former electroplating facility, located right behind the hotel, ...
We started slowly
We started slowly ... because preparations took a lot of time. By Amos Elnavogan (translated by us with a few liberties) One car, two parents, two kids and a long day trip. Random thoughts and associations. · It doesn't matter how much ...
Off to Greenwich we go!
We've got the map and the car all packed! The weather is nice so it should be a pleasant drive. First stop, an 11:30am brunch at the Higgins' ...
Getting on our way
After weeks of planning we are off to Vermont. This is our first big trip with our daughter, who's nine months old. We are going to do the trip in two parts, the first stopping at Manchester, VT and the second part we are staying on North ...
Andy's Big OE
Day started out fine but soon got caught in thunderstorm which lasted for about 2½ hours. Arrived at flash, new Rod Hollow shelter and had a shower from trail shower and spent rest of afternoon reading. Lots of damage from moths on trees – no ...
Back Home
We are heading back home, we leave at around 10:00 after breakfast, bracing ourselves for a long drive. The ride was uneventful, we stopped often to let our daughter out, and she slept a long time as well. Overall: Vermont is beautiful but you ...
Heading to the UP
Today was going to be the longest driving day so far I think. I had to drive all the way up to the UP! This being in a north easterly direction there was nothing close to a direct route. I had to drive east all the way to Milwaukee and north from there, ...
Andy's Big OE
Heaps of ticks and heat, stopped in at PO in Linden and collected mail – 8 letters, 2 parcels. Took over an hour to read them all, great to hear news etc. Had a good talk to John Miller of the PATC trail patrol, staying at Manassa Gap Shelter. ...
Down to Cindi and Micheal's
Today there was yet more driving involved, down to Cyndi and Michael's house in Wisconsin. This was another 7 hours, but this time it was in Judi’s car and Mandi drove which changed things up a bit! Judi couldn’t come down with us as she had ...
Back Home
Driving back... Nice long weekend trip, but I wouldn't recommend it for more then three or four days. We did like the American side better, granted the view from the Canadian side is better but it's overly touristy and expensive. You can plan on ...
