We met in the Jordan Atrium at Messiah at 1100 to weigh our luggage, pack the last of the gifts, and load the bus to go to JFK...the beginning of the journey. We all got there...all of our luggage weighed in under the required 50 lbs and everyone had their passports! I think we're ready...on our way at last!

We're making our lists and checking them twice, and trying to decide what to put in what bag/suitcase! Hoping we won't forget anything. I'll be meeting the students Tuesday morning at Messiah College to take a coach to JFK. We fly out at about 10:00 pm...but we'll need to pretend that it is 10:00 am since that's what it will be in Thailand.

So, I just had to post this awesome story. In this show, I am playing the mother, Kathryn Dover, to five little girls (one at a time of course!) who play my daughter named Sarah Dover. As they are all different, with different personalities, they all get different middle names, and as their 'mother' I get to pick those middle names. And one litt...

This is my first post on TravelPod and I'd like to start by thanking TravelPod for allowing me to use their blog service. I’ve been staying with my Aunt Kathy, her husband, Mike, and my little cousins, Katie and Alex since returning from the Appalachian Trail in mid-October. It has been absolutely wonderful being around them and also havin...

There have been oodles of highlights and possibly one too many 'issues' that we put down to being newbies!

Let me see… Between losing my camera bag out the back of the SUV and dragging the hitch along the road…. Driving awa...

Hello!

I have come back to Hershey, Pennsylvania to revise my role as Kathryn Dover, the mother of Sarah and wife of an absent Army husband, in the show "Home Sweet Home for Christmas" for Matt Davenport Productions and Hershey Park.

The ensemble is completely different this year, however two of the local men playing the role of G...

So we learned of the Hershey "preview night" opportunity, and decided to give it a go. On Monday night, after a rest and swim in the hotel pool, we headed over to the park. By showing our tickets for the next day, we were allowed to play for free from 7:30-10p.m. We thought this would give us a chance to figure out the park and plan what to do t...

So with the 4 kids in tow and two vehicle we set off for a two week vacation. It is August. It is cloudy. this is not the way you should start a campiong adventure. We pulled into Hershey Park, PA camp grounds and set up the tent. Now the kids had never set up a tent before. So guess who got that task? Yep, me. Anyway we set camp and started di...

When asked what he was looking forward to before we left for this trip, Will would always say smelling chocolate in the air in Hershey Pennsylvania. We awoke Friday morning at another Wal*Mart outside Hershey to cloudy skies and rain. It is a little difficult to smell chocolate in the rain, but we still had hope we would smell it. We started the...

I start the trip by stopping at K-Mart and get a simulated sheepskin seat cover. I tossed out my passenger seat shortly after I got the van and the drivers came as an old vw beetle seat that has seen alot of use. The cover says it will keep you warm when cold and cool when hot-anyway it will be better than ripped vinyl. Then down to Rehoboth Be...
