Henlopen Hotel Rehoboth Beach

... I know who you are becaue you're my only check-in today. So, I'm going to put you on another one of my properties, follow me!" So across the street we drove to another motel with more guests (I think I counted four other cars) and stayed there. OK... September is slow for beach motels.

Back to our morning: With our late scheduled start we could have slept till 10! However, I believe my exact words were "Memories are ...

... City. It was about a 2mile boardwalk with different shops. However, we were there on a Monday night and it seemed like a ghost town.

The second day, we got up to go training in Selbyville, DE. Small little towns where everyone seems to work at Mountaire. We even saw bus loads of people get dropped off to work there. We trained there ...

... usually be purchased at least three weeks in advance. Between 45 days and 60 days you get the best choice and usually the best price.
Be flexible. Weekends, special events, even time of day can make a huge difference in the prices you pay. Save by taking advantage of weekend stays, midweek flights and daily specials.
Be your own travel agent. (They really don't like that advice ...

... the back, leaving him paralyzed for life. But he went back to school and is now pursuing his doctorate in English.

Come to find out, this boy was in the alternative education group--for troubled kids who are too disruptive to learn in a standard classroom.

We were both encouraged to hear some positive feedback from a kid. It had been a while. And it is what keeps reminding us that what we are doing is worthwhile.

... about every 200 yards with T-shirts, candy, pizza, junk jewellery, a bar, piercing shop, games parlour and then basically start again. Lots of people finishing off there summer holiday, an amusement park ( $3 Zipper rides ), a beach that was about 100metres wide almost dead flat with the boardwalk on the same level. Wouldn’t take much for the tsunami to swamp it. After a walk and an ice-cream ( Trev Vanilla Bean and Cath Peanut Butter ...

We stumbled across this restaurant just because it was the closest place to our hotel "The Coconut Malorie Resort" and were amazed by the food, the extensive wine list (at a GREAT price) and most of all the amazing view! Every night this restaurant times the sunset with a symphony we had too many drinks by this time to remember which one) and the sun goes down on the last note.

... ferry to Delaware where we explored the town of Lewes and hit the outlets. We came back for a late birthday dinner at the Peter Shields Inn. Good food and a fantastic view of the ocean from our table.

Wednesday was already our last day. So we hit the beach all day and then jumped in our cars and left. All in all it was a perfect little relaxing beach get a way.

... Marina and heading for a shrimp dinner at the Lobster House. The Lobster House is a giant sea food place right on the docks where the boats come in. Its always packed but the atmosphere was worth it.

A good run for the day. The weather looked iffy but the f-cast called for two days of light air and 2-4 foot seas going north. This looked like a good weather window on our passage up to New York and points north.

... tattoo parlours and hot dog stalls.....
And also Stone Harbour - another quaint and seriously upmarket vacation town, although looking around the other people on the streets we had to ask if we were old enough to be there - there were so many blue rinses and walking frames!
Out to Cape May Point to see the light house; to check out the wreck of an experimental concrete hulled boat; to investigate the wildlife reserve; but most importantly - to play ...

... 8 Feet. Thereafter we got off at the South Street Seaport which is in the Financial District and took a walk to ground zero. "Ground zero" is a very sad place. As we approached the former WTC it felt like we were walking toward a grave... the sadness in the air was almost tangible. The entire ground zero is enclosed by a fence and people have left flowers along with notes to there loved ones telling them that they love and miss them, that was enough to give ...
