Budget Inn Bath

Today was Thanksgiving! So excited for my first ever Thanksgiving experience! Happily lunch was planned for pretty late in the afternoon so we had plenty of time in the morning to make and extra pumpkin pie and watch the turkey roasting in the oven. Scott's Mum was preparing some of the food to transport to Grandma’s place and we all headed off around 2.30pm.

Spa ghetti and apple crumble for dinner, mmmm. I was going to make shortbread biscuits but had to improvise when there wasn't a rolling-pin. It all turned out fine in the end, and quite delicious.

Wine tasting and ice cream today, doesn't get much better! Made some sandwiches and headed out for a drive up to a couple of places on Cayuga Lake, one of the Finger Lakes, where we were sure to find wine (the guys at work will be pleased to note that we went to the places recommended by my lonely planet guide).

So the reason we'd gone up to the parents place was because deer hunting season starts today. It turns out that I’ve been sharing a bedroom with 2 hunting rifles all week which is slightly strange (don’t worry, they’re safely locked away). So Scott and his father went out at 5am after some deer. No luck ...

Cable guy due between 1 and 3 today so not made too many plans, naturally he turned up at 11am while I was in the shower. Happily he had stuff to do that didn't involve access to the bathroom until after I’d finished. Then we celebrated the return of the internet all afternoon, I managed to start this blog (hopefully I’ll keep it up for a while at least) and played some ...

Waffles for breakfast with maple syrup, I approve of breakfast foods in the USA. Went out to Ithaca for the day, the town where Scott has just moved from to have a look round, see where he works and to get my hair colour sorted out. Really pretty town, there are a couple of colleges and we drove up to the campus to get a good view down the hill out over the lake. Was a clear day and the water was really blue ...

We'd agreed on a slow start this week while I’m recovering from such a long trip so had a nice cooked breakfast and then headed out to the supermarket to pick up some food and use the free wi-fi (internet won’t get hooked up till Thursday). I was most amused to find that in the foreign food aisle they had an Irish ...

... a nice goth boy so I felt right at home. Couple of films and a little sleep on the plane, and 8 hours later I was arriving in New York, Newark airport. How exciting! My first panicky moment was that they'd failed to give me the correct customs form on the flight and when I got the right one it was all in Spanish! Managed to pick up an English version and then spent my first ...

Just a short note, for work I travelled to Elmira Ny in Oct 2009. It was a fun week, Elmira is a small city on the Southern Tier of NY.

It is quite a pleasant drive from Toronto to Elmira. From Toronto down to Niagara and across the Lewiston Bridge. There is often a lne up, but Monday morning when I got there, there was nary a car on the bridge. Customs looked bored and passed me through. From there down through Buffalo and ...

We left to drive to Debbie B's house to meet up. I was transporting her daughter and boyfriend and our stuff was going in their panel van. Everyone else was leaving from their own homes. One group was driving the entire way on Sunday. It wasabout a 5 hour and 30 minute drive to Bath from home. We stopped in Clark's Summit, PA for lunch. It rained off and ...
