Showboat Atlantic City

... 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>

<br><br><br>We left Portsmouth about 8 am and had a pleasant drive, crossing Chesapeake Bay via the tunnel/bridge to the Eastern shore of Virginia, continuing up the Eastern shore of Maryland and into Delaware to Lewes where we boarded the Cape May Ferry. It makes an 80 minute trip between Delaware and New Jersey. After 90 minutes we disembarked the ferry and tried to leave Cape May. Lori ...

After another great day of sightseeing in Philly we headed to a Diner for dinner - love it - no cheese wizz this time but great food.<br>Then we decided to drive over the bridge into New Jersey so we could say we had set foot there and next thing Rosa sees the Alantic city sign and Lucy hits the highway (9:30 at this ...

Well, Last night was a nightmare!! Everything was so wrong! I came home from the beach with my best friends not wanting to leave, I got in the car everything was fine. I got home finished the book i was reading and started Breaking Dawn By: Stephenie Meyer. I didn't want to put it down!! Then came dinner, my mom told my brother, sister, and I that we were going to order pizza!! Great! We gave my mom a couple places that we could order ...

The Atlantic City trip was cut short by Rain.  When the rain comes we run and hide our heads we might as well be dead... well you get the idea.  Anyway we were bummed out because the entry fee was steep and we did not get to ride the boardwalk in the morning as planned.  The ride out of Jersey was difficult and expensive.  Dual wheels cost a premium every few miles was a toll.  We got a Garmin GPS that was flawless except when trying to get on I-95 after crossing into Philly ...

Yes as the Boss Said meet me in "Altantic City."  <br>Ride towards Atlantic City was nice but pricey ($36.40 in tolls).  Went through some vineyards while heading there.  Saw merlot and c******nay grapes.  Pretty cool.  Mini Vegas is entertaining.  Lots of casinos, eateries and shops along the boardwalk.  Kids favorite was the Haunted Tales store where a frightening film was ...

... ice cream shops, etc. The Boardwalk was wonderful as were the casinos, as long as you didn't go OUT FRONT! Ellen did okay, but unfortunately didn't pay for the trip. She joined the family on the boardwalk and strolled about with them. Everyone was tired so we decided to make it a night. The other side of the street, OUT FRONT on the other side of the casino, is what appears to be the ghetto or more of that ...

... near an exit row in case the food sucks or the engines fall off. I've attached a few pictures, I think (I'm still working on the pictures thing). Basically, it's rain; and the ferrets. Because that's all I've seen so far. I have so much packed into the back of my car that the rear end is riding visibly lower than the front. It think the weight has shot my gas mileage to hell (it's hovered around 22 the whole way). At any rate, I'll let the ...

... are fascinating. Most rooms and exhibits have either a written or multimedia explanation about what they used to be, and there are many pictures, and first hand testimonials about the site. We spent several hours there, and could have spent several days. We were so impressed we made a donation and put our family onto the "immigrants wall of names". We walked throughout the whole buildings, small ...
