Tired of the same old boring postcards at the souvenier shops? Take better photographs than those that are on most postcards? Send your own customized postcard with your own photo and message! I just discovered this site: Postful.com. It’s really great! I tried it out and here’s a quick preliminary postcard I crafted. It’s the [...]
It probably comes as no surprise that the New York Traveler is a map FREAK. I have loads and loads of maps (and one globe). I just love them. I have old ones dating back to the 80s that I just can’t bear to get rid of. Hey, I might need them someday!
Well, anyway, here’s [...]
We visited this great park- Beaver Lake Nature Center– many years ago, when the kids were young. It is one of the best little parks and nature trails I have ever visited. We haven’t gone yet, but I’m keeping my options open, since we’ll be out toward Baldwinsville twice next month. I just thought I’d [...]
One of the best cities I have ever visited is Boston, Massachusetts. What a city! There’s a real sprightly spirit about the city… or maybe it’s just the crazy drivers that keep you on your toes! The family and I got to see beautiful Boston and the fabulous Gloucester seaside several years ago. I absolutely [...]
Hitting the road (or the skies) anytime soon? I’ve got a link for some great savings on travel deals. Check out some great Travelocity promo codes! I spy loads of deals– $25 to $75 airline ticket savings, special offers and vacation deals, deals on car rentals, discounts on hotel rates throughout the United States, and [...]
It’s that time of year again for the Mecomber family: buy new boots and shoes for the kids. EVERY July– I don’t know what it is– they all bust out of their shoes. I try to make the shoes last until September, when school starts, but it is futile. We’re on our feet a [...]
Hmm, I don’t know how practical such a beautiful trash bag would be for a van full of small children, but it’s a nice invention, by Finny Knits. It’s a little handmade fabric trash bag for your vehicle. It’s perfect for traveling.
We use… well, right now, we don’t use anything for trash. The kids [...]
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 [...]
I apologize to my fellow patriotic New Yorkers, by now mentioning something going on in neighboring New Jersey. Heh heh. But I wish New York State would do stuff like this! There are definitely some neat things to do in New Jersey, and it’s even better when the events are free. Here’s the scoop:
On July [...]

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 [...]
Hmm, here’s something very interesting, a Free Ticket Exchange website. This sounds very appealing to me, because sometimes I win free tickets to something that totally disinterest me (like the Shriner’s Circus or a Mets game) but I would really love concert tickets or movie tickets. B.B. King came to Utica’s Stanley Theatre a few [...]
