Lunch at an Amish Home

Well, it was time to head out of Dodge and so I booked a one day trip to Lancaster, Pennsylvania. I choose to visit Lancaster because the main event of the experience was to have lunch with an Amish family and my curiosity (having visited Lancaster many times before) was really peaked. Unfortunately, it rained…

Miami Photos

I visited Miami to see my brother and sister-in-law and just loved taking photos. So this is just a series of photographs that made me very happy.

Williamsport and Pennsylvania’s Grand Canyon

It was time to head out of Dodge this past weekend and so I took an adventure to Williamsport, Pennsylvania and then headed to Pennsylvania’s Grand Canyon. On the first day of this overnight adventure we went to Williamsport. Williamsport is a very quiet, almost eerie type of town where there wasn’t a soul on…

An Afternoon in Cold Spring

It was my girlfriend’s birthday and I wanted to do something special for her since we know each other for decades. So I met her at Grand Central Terminal, and took the Metro North line to Cold Spring. Such a quiet, quaint and lovely town along the Hudson. And a lovely lunch at Hudson House…

Jim Thorpe Pennsylvania

So it was time to head out of Dodge and I took a day bus trip to Hellertown, Pennsylvania and Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania. In Hellertown, Pennsylvania we visitied the Lost River Caverns, nature’s underground wonderland. There was a guided walking tour but I must admit that I’m not a cave fan and so I didn’t…

Hudson River Fall Foliage Cruise

I discovered an opportunity to take a socially distanced Hudson River Fall Foliage Cruise. It was run by Circle Line Sightseeing at Pier 83 which is located at 12th Avenue and West 42nd Street. The date for the cruise was October 31st and so I thought what better way to spend Halloween with everything going…

Visiting the Crystal Cave

So I was lucky enough to find a day bus tour to Kutztown, PA to visit the historic Crystal Cave (an abundance of milky white formations that have been educating visitors now for 145 years) and then be able to enjoy a 40 minute train ride on board the WK & S in Kempton, PA.…

Socially Distanced Amish Adventure

So I decided to take a socially distanced bus road trip to Lancaster Pennsylvania and visit the land of the Amish. We each were assigned a socially distanced seat number and it worked out really well.  Here we are on the road at a King of Prussia rest stop.   First we did a short…

Labor Day in Port Jefferson

So on Monday I took the Long Island Railroad to my cousin’s stop which is Great Neck. Getting to Great Neck is about a 35 minute ride on the train and when I got there my cousin picked me up and she drove to Port Washington-the last stop on this line. Port Washington is a…

A Day Trip to Asbury Park

So I was very fortunate when this gal that I know that lives in the city who happens to own a car suggested that we drive to Asbury Park, New Jersey and walk on the boardwalk and go out for dinner. Well, needless to say I was ecstatic.  Anything to get out of the city…
