The Mohawk Valley (the area wedged between the Catskills and the Adirondacks in Central New York) has a nice new website. It’s a website created to promote the assets of living in Upstate New York. I noticed they have a terrific page for tourism in the Mohawk Valley. The only shortcoming is that my blog [...]
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 know a lot of people who have been on cruises. I haven’t (yet), but they look like so much fun! I have dreams of traveling the world someday, and I think a Royal Caribbean Cruise is the perfect way to do it. How about you, have you been on a cruise? I should take [...]
Here’s an interesting piece of news, from Less Than a Shoestring:
From the producer of our poorly-orchestrated increased airline security measures (”Only Terrorists Carry 200 ml of Toothpaste”) and the creator of the color-based national security threat chart (”Like Clockwork, Orange!”), a new move certain to alienate our closest friends and allies: starting January 12, [...]

I have been asked by a few people to send them links to various travel websites pertaining to New York State. I have a few helpful links, but rather than sending out several emails, I thought I’d make it easy on myself and put everything in a post. And this way, everyone else can read [...]
Have I ever mentioned that we absolutely adore Fort Stanwix? We’ve been there many times over the years. This is one of the greatest parks and historic sites I have ever visited, and everyone who works there is so friendly and knowledgeable. Plus, they keep updating and adding new things.
For a more detailed history of [...]
Traveling and tourism is officially underway for the Upstate NY summer season. Here are a few local attractions for Central New York:
Erie Canal Village in Rome. I haven’t been here in… oh, a very long time. It is my desire to take the kids someday. The village is open 10 to 5, Wednesdays through Saturdays [...]
Here’s a cool idea– and no surprise there’s a cool website to go with it– SeatExchange.com. Need concert tickets? Sports tickets? They’ve got a huge variety of stuff available. It’s all categorized, too; I like that! Everything from Thomas & Friends Live to NHL Hockey to The Mikado opera performance.

SeatExchange provides [...]
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 [...]
Sorry I haven’t blogged much. We are all in high gear trying to finish up the school year, and the gasoline prices have kept me homebound for a while. However, we do have some hopes to do some traveling this year! We have some things in the making, in particular a camping trip in [...]
