I’d never heard of such a thing! e-How has a post about how to “check out” free museum passes from your local library.
Step1
Register and obtain a Library Card from your local library.
Step2
Call or visit your local library and ask whether they offer Free Museum Passes that can be reserved and checked out for the day. [...]
i found a GREAT site for travelers– travelers like me who, once you’ve hit the open road, suddenly realize you’ve forgotten to pack a few things. Argh, I hate that! This is a website with a cute title: Don’t Forget Your Toothbrush. Has a great planning list, and you can customize it according to your [...]
A handful of bloggers I know are in the process, or will be, of moving. I am shocked how many people move from state to state. The effort this takes seems overwhelming to a homebody like me. I personally would never trust in a full-fledged moving company (too risky), but if we ever move again [...]
I live near a gas station/convenience store and an ice cream store. My street is a very busy one, and now that it’s summer, most cars are filled with tone-deaf teenage boys, blasting their monkey music to try to impress the Phentermine-laden teenage girls walking the streets. There is supposed to be an ordinance in [...]
Hey here’s a terrific idea if you are part of a group looking to raise some funds: sell car magnets! Car magnets are very popular items today. I have a few on my white minivan. I’ve actually been considering having some car magnets printed up with my “New York Traveler” logo on them. It would [...]
I found a terrific article today at Retire in Paradise, about using a zip code map (usually downloaded from a website) and/or a handheld GPS for navigating your way around New York City’s crazy streets. I lived in Manhattan, and making your way through the city can drive you crazy!
A New York zip code map [...]
Hey parents, do you know what your kids are listening to? I’ve heard the rap and hip hop music playing today. I’ve heard some OK stuff, but some of it– I really question what it’s about. I’ve found a terrific website for researching lyrics to the rap and hip hop music your kids and peers [...]
The travel season is upon us! Some people are actually thinking (and have even done it!!) of going into debt to go on vacation. That makes me terribly nervous. The economy is so shaky, and consumer debt (as well as national debt) has grown to such heights that I’m afraid it will all come crashing [...]
At the dinner table this evening, I was asking the children (I have four, ranging in ages from 11 to 18) what they liked best about traveling. I was thinking of writing a blog article about how to travel with kids. But as we talked about our experiences over our baked ziti and bread and [...]
We have rodeo here in Upstate New York. There are actually a huge number of rodeo events and fans, particularly in the agricultural eastern end of the state. I never knew New York had rodeos; I thought these events were always specifically reserved for the southwest. Of course, when one thinks of rodeo, the hilly, [...]
Ah, the world of “virtual” travel. Where would I be without it. Lol, probably in the same place as I am right now– at my desk.
I love travel carnivals. Here’s a huge one– the biggest I’ve ever seen– at Travel on a Shoestring. This blog is going in my travel blog list! I’ve visited it [...]
