If you know me, you know that I am not too fond of hotels. They are so unclean and, well, ikky! When I think of the thousands upon thousands of bodies that have used the same shower, the same toilet, the same dresser, and the same bed… YUK. It gives me the willies.
Here’s an [...]

Several weeks ago, I blogged about a new website I found that printed postcards and letters for you, and mailed them out for you, too. I thought it was a terrific tool for travelers who are either unable to afford or obtain stamps where they travel, or who don’t want to go through the hassle [...]
Gadgets are so cool. They seem to be getting better and better. Who wants a boring old rectangular pup tent when you can have this?
It looks like a tepee or something! How about a tent that looks like a lunar module? I think my kids would love this one! Both tents from Campist.
How about [...]
I saw this last week at Carole’s Thoughtful Spot. So funny, it’s depressing. :-p
She says it’s a real sign in a real place in Upstate New York! LOL
I know I have a lot of genealogists who visit this blog. Thanks! I knew there was a good reason for posting about cemeteries and New York State history. I’ve been reading some excellent books on the history of the Oneida Indian Nation; in the “olden” days, preserving oral history and family traditions meant [...]
I don’t think limited mobility should ever keep a person from traveling! My grandparents were examples of this– my grandfather was resigned to a wheelchair (arthritis) by age 40, but he and my grandmother and their two young sons traveled to Arizona and back for the trip of a lifetime. And my dad, whose mobility [...]
I’ve been so wildly busy that I realized I never posted much about our trip to Oneida Lake three weeks ago! :S Since then, we’ve been to the Adirondacks. We went up to the town of Steuben to see Pixley Falls, a lovely little waterfall in a state park. I suppose Pixley Falls must have [...]
Several weeks ago, I blogged about a neat and specialized travel blanket, the Cabin Cuddler. I got one! Here’s my review. And by the way, this is not a paid review– it’s gratis!
The Cabin Cuddler is a very compact package. It’s lightweight and comes with a blanket, an inflatable pillow (it’s uninflated for carrying purposes) [...]
For some inexplicable reason, the comments have stopped working for this blog. I did nothing! They just decided to stop working today. GRRRRR. Today also happens to be the day where I usually get hundreds of comments (Photo Hunters Day). I apologize for the problem. I’m going to be trying to fix it by changing [...]
Autumn is the lovely repose before harsh reality hits: winter! Winter has its pleasures: football, cozy evenings, woodstoves, and home cooking. But driving and paying the heating bills are pretty scary in these parts. It helps to buffer the discomfort a little by getting great deals on winter gear.
Autumn is the best time to get [...]
A “snowbird” is what we New Yorkers typically call other New Yorkers who flee the state for warmer pastures when winter hits. Snowbirds maintain their New York homes usually from March to November, then they– like migrating birds– go south for the winter. Some New Yorkers are rich enough to own a second home, while [...]
