Sandpiper Beach Club Cape May

... br><br>All was not lost. We went back and slept for another couple hours. Then, while making lunch, the phone rang to announce a leak in the auditorium of our school, so we got the day off. With that we started on our way to our next town pulling off route to see Ocean City, NJ "America's Greatest Family Resort." We add "In Summer" Seriously, these beach towns after Labor Day are like ghost towns. Creepy.<br><br>Anyway, in Ocean ...

... online. Somehow, I found the Travel Insider web site and the package featured several things that sounded appealing - discounts, add-ons, a great itinerary, and a cruise company that we had used before &amp; enjoyed very much. I also spoke to the "host" - the Travel Insider himself - and found him to be pleasant, well-informed, and enthusiastic about the trip. <br><br>An auspicious start, I thought.<br>

... slip when I told him we were going to LA and his reply was &#8220;she MIGHT make it&#8221;. But as this was an adventure and my eBay trust was at stake I gave him the money and let Cath follow me (I was driving the caddy) to drop off the caddy at budget. Cath&#8217;s face was a look of OMG but the deal was done so it was off we set heading to the resort town of ocean city.<br> <br>Ocean city is a narrow strip of land with only two main roads both ...

... some good color. We went to this cute Italian restaurant that night called Cucina Rosa. Both mom and I had this amazing Mediterranean shrimp dish. Tons of garlic though, let's just say we could have kept any vampires in a 5 mile radius at bay that night. We then did some souveneir shopping and got some ice cream.<br><br>Tuesday (my birthday) it rained so we head over on ...

... 10kts plus...feeling pretty macho. So by 1100 we turn south east for the 40 mile run down the Delaware. Then the current turned foul and we were pulled down to close to 5kts. I looked again at the tide table and I could not understand why. It showed were were on an ebb and we should be doing well.<br><br>Suffice it to say, we fought this current until 2-3 in the afternoon and all of a sudden I stated seeing 9kts on the ...

Monday morning we said our goodbyes to Karen and Allen and set off across country to Cape May, at the southern tip of New Jersey, where we were meeting up with more friends - Ken from Boston and Diana from Cape Cod.<br><br>Despite the big distance Ken and Diana have to travel, we all arrived within 15 mins of each other at the little house we are renting -so we open a bottle of wine to celebrate before heading to the local supermarket to stock up on ingredients ...

... parking on the roadway'... It seemed my driver's side tires where partially on the blacktop (Heavens to mergatroid!). I was so discussed that I put the tickets aside and thought to send in the payment after getting home, since they convieniently put the address and stamp square that announces "The post office will not deliver without a stamp" (No ****!) on the neon red side of the ticket... I mean who carries their checkbook on vacation anyway? But a ...

Leah came down to meet me and Andy in Rehoboth Beach, DE before packing up the car and hitting the road. Since the weather was so nice, we decided to take the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel to enjoy the scenery that surrounds it. Somewhere along the way (maybe 3 hours into the 16 hr car ride, the heat stopped working. I later was told by a mechanic that I was at the boiling/freezing point for my radiator fluid or something...makes sense now). Our ride down wasn't ...

Labor Day. Three Day Weekend. NEW JERSEY SHORE. Woohoo! My parents drove down from Northern Jersey. Silke and I drove up from Washington, DC. The weather was perfect. It was a nice chance to relax in the sun and surf.

Nach der Gewalttour in WDC und der daraus resultiereden Müdugkeit kommen wir erst etwas später vom Kampground weg. Auf geht es nach Cape May, New Jersey, damit wir neben den lieblichen Häusern auch den Atlantik zu Gesicht bekommen. Eine gleich vorweg: Die Fahrten daueren einfach immer länger als geplant und so kommen wir erst gegen 16h am Strand an. Sehr zum Leidwesen der Damen, die die Mittagshitze ...
