Courtyard Norwalk

... We went just to experience it haha it was so funny. They have police stationed everywhere to control the crowds and so on.

Right now Bell is having a nap as we are exhausted from the previous days events and being up at 4am to shop haha.

New York City is really amazing though. They out do everything - bigger and better i think should be there motto. I could live here.

Thanksgiving eve was also MANIC in the city ...

We are moving again tomorrow and it will be to Cromwell, CT as we house sit for other traveling friends who will embark on a 2 month sail from CT to FL. Megan lost her new bike today to some ******* who planned in advance to steal the bike hanging "double ...

In town for the night, and Norwalk was really quite quaint, with a dash of cool. I can see the potential for it being a nice place to live...and boat. Lots of houses on the water, some VERY nice...several had their own islands.

This stretch definitely felt "Cape Cod."

... one second their big safety, Resting in the trust That creates the world. And that poem made me think of "Ithaca" by Constantine P. Cavafy, and then in my search I ran into "Oh The Places You'll Go" by Dr. Seuss (in my favorites folder). So that's whats on my mind today as I set out. Lots to do today. I woke up at 6 after 4 hours of sleep.. maybe it will help me adjust to London time. Listen to LDN by Lily Allen today. It makes me smile.

... act as anyone would have known that our anchor was in that place. Happily the captain moved and we were off heading toward Manhattan. We were making 8kts with a favorable current as I watch the commercial traffic to our starboard....a super tanker and a tug pushing big badge...all of us are heading for the same bridge. I thought silently, "here we go already....this is going to be tough". VHF channel 13 (commercial) was so packed with chatter, I ...

... myself fall in love. It just happens, it's just there, and at some point if you are lucky, it becomes so much a part of your life that you wonder how you could live without it. I think travelling is a bit less trickier than that though, assuming you want to. It is at least for those of us who are lucky enough to have ended up in a position that they were able to garner an education and employment in a country where the exchange rate is exceptionally favorable to most other parts of the ...

Today I had lunch with a group of 7 associates and summers at Fred's, the restaurant within Barneys. I loved this place. We shared some roasted asparagus with Parmesean and Calamari which was great and I had the carrot tortalinni in a creamy tomato sauce. The decor was appealing and during our meal Cleveland's LeBraun James walked in! he was really ...

First let me tell you life in NYC is going good! I am getting excited about my upcoming journey! But first here is the interesting story of how I ended up here in the big Apple living it up in a deluxe apartment in the sky! I meet my friend "Suzi Wanders" in the Middle of the malaria infested Amazon jungle over a year ago (April 05.) We meet by random chance in a small jungle bar over run with prostitutes. I know what you are thinking! The answer to that is no!! I was not selling ...

Update: This is Ryan updating for Clint. Sad news. Clint's grandpa passed away today. Because of this, Chicago is out. I am going to stay in Maine with family a little longer and Clint is going to fly up to New York City on Friday the 30th to celebrate New Years with all of us. We will update our New Years' adventures after they occur.

We slept in a bit later than we expected after sleeping through both alarms, so we had to break our 'no more taxi' rule! It seemed the storms of Toronto had followed us as it was ******* it down outside. At least in a taxi we would be dry and warm and it was an excuse to spend the last of our Canadian dollars. Luckily for us the taxi driver had said a set fair as we were held up customs for 30 mins while this stupid America women asked us about 200 questions before ...
