We left Agawam at 5 a.m. Even though the weather was horendous we still managed to make it to Washington DC in good time, about 6 hours. The rain held off for about 2 hours while we walked around DC checking out the major sites. When ...

... br>For those of you who do not know me, I am very fortunate to have travelled to many wonderful places in the world, and I look forward to revisiting some of those, and also discovering new places.

This trip will be the final leg of my Round-the-World trip which I started in Johannesburg in January. I had 20 segments on this ticket, and have 5 left to use (Boston to London is a separate ticket). This will also be my first visit to the Middle East.

So before i begin my new journey in Hartford, taking a detour to Brazil. I leave tomorrow in the early early am and have so many loose ends... have to be done by 5pm cause i got a hot date!!! =) going with a small back pack... beach hopping.

We arrived in New Hampshire Monday evening at various times. The house on the lake is absolutely stunning. It took the kids less than ten minutes to start asking to go swimming ... so away they went.

The clouds parted for a little while Monday night and we got a chance to enjoy the moon reflecting off the lake and the stars over head. It was a beautiful night.

Tuesday found the kids back in water early. Four of the teens ...

After lunch in New Haven, we're off to visit the Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, MA. Unfortunately, we got there at 4:00pm just as they were about to close. I just got some souvenirs and we had some ice cream before leaving for Chiqui's house in CT. Chiqui cooked the Alaskan King Crab legs for dinner, maybe the best crab I've ever tasted!

... I have never been to such a packed sushi restaurant - the people waiting in line was incredible (lukily we got there early). I love hanging out at Ariana and Drew's place but, left early to write this and get to bed early. I have a long day of driving and two yoga classes to teach tomorrow! I will continue this travel log in Florida in a few days!!!

We spent the majority of the morning packing up and getting ready to head home. It was a beautiful, sunny day and Sami was looking forward to towing the camper without the rain! Jeff and Tracy left earlier, so we headed out with Don, Steph & kids and Ron & kids. We stopped at the rest area on the way home and had some lunch. The automatic ...

It was very nice getting up and being able to shower in my own bathroom, thinking I had all the privacy in the world. However, that was not the case as my nephew Alex came charging into the camper to see if we were ready to head off to the park. Needless to say, my full moon is not one he will forget anytime soon! :-)

... but the traffic was light. Sami was cautious but did not have any problem towing the camper.

When we arrived at Sodom Mountain, Jeff and Don came over to help with our first set up. Once we were set up, we actually had to turn the HEAT on! Who would have thought our first camping trip would require heat!!

The kids spent the afternoon exploring the ...
