Cheering for Everyone, the Joy of the NYC Marathon

Cheering for Everyone, the Joy of the NYC Marathon

by on November 4, 2010 in Destination

This year I will miss an annual tradition. This weekend I will not be there to support the thousands who lace up and run the NYC marathon from the sidelines. But even from a distance (I am in Mexico) I will take a moment on Sunday to cheer. To mark the occasion, I decided to […]

Sunset Sunday – Edinburgh, Scotland

Sunset Sunday – Edinburgh, Scotland

by on October 31, 2010 in Sunset Sunday

For Halloween I started to ponder destinations I considered haunted. Destinations when darkness descends on the streets, stories of spirits fill our imagination. Places you visit and leave with the belief ghosts are not just fantasy, but perhaps reality. In a city of much literary fame, from Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde to the present […]

Fall Foliage – Lake Wallenpaupack, PA

I tend to find these majestic moments while watching the sunset. In those moments, I take the time to appreciate the day, to listen. Such moments occur for each of […]

Sunset Sunday – Upstate New York

Sunset Sunday – Upstate New York

by on October 24, 2010 in Sunset Sunday

A family reunion took me to upstate New York this summer. To be honest, I held little appreciation for my state outside of what I knew. Growing up, New York consisted of Long Island and the city.

Fall Foliage – Manchester Center, Vermont

by on October 20, 2010 in Destination

When Vermont received its name, I don’t believe it was in October. The green (vert) mountain (mont) state shows its true colors as the air cools. Beautiful and brilliant colors. And each fall many travelers take a pilgrimage to visit this part of New England. One year, I was one of them. On a trip […]

Sunset Sunday – Sandy Hook, NJ

by on October 17, 2010 in Guest Post, Sunset Sunday

New Jersey. As a New Yorker, I always said the best thing about New Jersey is the view of New York City. Hey, it is the light at the end of the tunnel, right? But after years visiting my college friends who call it home and spending summers at the Jersey Shore (not quite MTV […]
