La Quinta Inn Harrisburg Airport Hershey

Hello!<br><br>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. <br><br>The ensemble is completely different this year, however two of the local men playing the role of Grandpa from the previous year have returned, as well as ...

Today, Florence and I had the opportunity to visit Gettysburg National Park, and given that we started the day with very limited knowledge of Gettysburg or the Civil War for that matter, we didn't exactly know what we were going to see and learn. What we saw and learned was so much more than I can ever put on this blog, but overall it was a very good day.....incredibly interesting, awe inspiring in it's scope, and very sad at the ...

The big push continues with another day of cloud watching as some spectacular scenery rolls by. I loved riding up thru WV and MD. Beautiful horse farms, mountains and fall colors kept me from staring too hard at all the dark, ponderous clouds lurking along the hilltops. The temps ranged from 54 to 72 F (briefly). Do not expect to see the 70s again.<br>But at least we are tucked in and no drops have touched the big fella. Just a frost warning for tonight and chilly temps tomorrow.

... experience that is coming and how it effects not only the lives of the families that we will build beside, but the lives of each and every individual on this trip.

... the bottom, bowling their tape up the aisle trying to knock out the other teams. Round 3, one team would roll their tape after the other teams placed their rolls in the aisle, hoping to gain points if they are hit by the rolling tape.<br><br>We actually only got through two rounds. Since then, I've been brainstorming more rules. But today's results were 9-2-0. Quite a victory for the 9-pointers! They were rewarded with two cell phone pockets [we picked up ...

... that are made to look like candy near the chocolate factory. The tour then drops you off at Hershey World.<br><br>5. But of course what would a trip to Hershey, Pa be without visiting "the sweetest place on earth", Hershey Park/ Hershey Chocolate World. Entering Chocolate World you will be hit by the wonderful smell of chocolate and welcomed by live size chocolate bars (yummy). After being shocked ...

... This season's corn had not yet been harvested and the never-ending blanket of cornfields that covers the eastern half of our country was in its glory. The ubiquitous corn cover had actually begun in New Jersey, less than 25 miles from New York City and would continue until the land was too parched to support this crop (along about the Kansas-Colorado border). We had discovered its eastern boundary when we departed Interstate 287 to have a quick lunch of peanut ...

We were on our way to meet Reena's old school friend from back in Singapore. We found ourself driving straight threw Pennsylvania. This is where Ram when to high school.<br><br>We made some quick calls and Ram found a high school friend that he hasn't seen or even talked to in 8 years! We stoped only for a couple hours and we had to be on our way....

... daily (or at least try to) and tell you about what I've seen, learned, tasted, and heard! In the mean time, I have lots of packing and pre-trip "to do's" - I'll update in a couple of days with some background on the program and my packing progress! ~ C "A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step."

... I am sworn in as a Peace Corps Volunteer (PCV) and will move to my post, thus starting my two year commitment. My post will be in Northern Benin and as I mentioned before, I will be serving as a Rural Community Health Advisor. As such, I will most likely be doing work regarding infant and pre-natal nutrition. Really, the whole first year of my service will be getting to know the village and establishing the needs of the community with the non-profit I am ...
