New Jersey Travel Blogs

Having spent the majority of my university career as a business student worrying about the high-paying job I hoped to get after graduation, I realized only in my final year that I had entirely missed the point of it all...both life in general up until now, and the college experience. So I decided t…

Oh! Too much light!! Too bright!!! My eyes!!! Haha, it was 6am and we were arriving to New York, actually it was New Jersey. Better – a new city to my collection, haha. Karl, Katey and I left the plain at same time, but we had to split before doing customs. They are American Citizens and I 

If you were to pick up any copy of 'Sculpture' magazine you would come across an article or ad featuring the Grounds for Sculpture (GFS) located at the fair grounds in Hamilton, NJ. It a beautiful outdoor sculpture garden. Owned and operated by the sculptor John Seward Johnson Jr, GFS features scul…

Leaving Newcastle airport I have never been so scared in my life, not to mention that I almost missed my flight due to security checks. Once I arrived at Heathrow and met Rachel to check in for my long flight with Virgin Atlantic I calmed down. It was good to meet someone that I would be spending m…

August 2008 beach/shopping trip to Atlantic City, NJ!!

So for the second year in a row we have come to Atlantic City for some gambling and to celebrate my hubby's birthday. As usual we are staying at the Tropicana Hotel and Casino. This time we got an upgrade to the Havanna Tower which was nice though it was pretty far from the parking garage. We used …

Let me begin by saying that I am well aware of the fact that people, everyday all over the world, get on planes and travel to foreign lands all by their lonesome.  However, I would also like to point out that I am feeling a little nervous about joining those ranks.  Despite…

When we had the 3 day break from camp we went with a lot of us to Atlantic City! Amazing weekend!

This was my first time at Crawfish Festival.  I had met a bunch of people off the JazzFest website (yes, another chat group -- this one Jazz Fest lovers).  They (we) are called Threadheads.  Some of the greatest people I've met.  Just like TBers, they are all about helping each …

The background to this trip is that my Aunt is not doing well and is on life support. My dad wanted to come and see her before she left and wanted some support in getting out here and around.Although not the best of circumstances I am excited about this trip because it means I get to spend some de…

My 4th of July was supposed to be spent on the beach during the day and then on a boat at night watching the fireworks off the Cape May shore. However, this Independence Day I spent my time in bed and close to a bathroom. I got "Ecuador Sick" again. It seems like this happens every 3 to 6 months fo…

I had my very first picnic in New Jersey on my 1st weekend away from home. Jersey is filled with man made lakes and I definitely appreciated this on my first day out. This was when I started to feel out of place. The boys didn't invite me to their forest hike and the girls were too lazy to do anyth…

The best experience of my life.  I say that boldly, but never more confidently.  The United States Men's National Team played Argentina's National Team in a final friendly soccer match before 2010 World Cup qualifying.  The end result was 0-0, but it was so much more exciting than th…

Day trip to Ac for the air show. It wasn't overly hot for August, it was however very loud!

I just can't restrain myself anymore. The plan was to wait until I got to Costa Rica to write my first blog entry, but I'm just so excited that I can't help myself! I leave in exactly two weeks. First, I'm off to Puerto Viejo, which is in the Province of Limon, on the eastern (Carribean) coast of t…
