Places I have seen, things I have done

Friday May 1, 2009 Have to get everybody out of their bed in time, because we wanted to see a lot during our trip to Williamsport. So at 7.00 am breakfast and checking out of the hotel. The car which was parked on a private parking place, had been driven in front of the hotel. Did not have to carr…

The Pittsburgh Penguins are finally in the Stanley Cup finals again, which is cause for celebration. The Mellon Arena decided to open it's door and sell tickets for $ 5.00 ( all of which went to charity) and show the game on the Jumbo Tron and there was free parking. So myself and some friends and …

today was a gloomy day, unlike the day before...but I think it adds to the character... I liked the grey skies better than the bright blue... I think the photo color came out better...

After a very nice breakfast at our hotel taking advantage of their breakfast buffet, and eating outside on their patio, we packed up all our stuff and checked out. Our stay here was very nice and I’m sure we’ll use this hotel the next time we visit Philadelphia. After loading the car, we walked…

As I continue preparing for my journey, Im getting asked a lot about my reasons, and about things I make mention to. Ive also been asked A LOT if I have a website, or not. The answer, until lastnight, was no.However, now I DO have a website for the walk -or atleast a start of one. I would like the …

            Growing up, Pittsburgh was the closest big city, and we would take advantage of the theater and museums from time to time.  Once in awhile, we drove past the Cathedral of Learning, the visual centerpoint of the University of Pi…

We started off this Black Friday by putting up Christmas decorations for Grandma's home.  Actually, we started the day with Alfredo's pizza.  Nothing beats pizza for breakfast.  After making it look Christmassy, we drove to Alternative Eating to check it out.  Alternative Eating…

There's so many trails to hike in this area, this is a light one, around 3 miles, easily marked paths. Beautiful scenery.

I am back to the states, and I can't believe how quickly the time flew by! I wish I could turn back the clock and re-live the beautiful time I had in Palermo.

When I got in my car and drove off that summer Sunday morning, I had this feeling that this might, just might be my Day of Destiny.  I mean, I’ve followed plenty of crazy impulses before,  most of which have petered out and not really changed my life in any remarkable way.  Sev…

If you tell folks you’re from Mercersburg, you’ll probably get a smirk.  Folks in Chambersburg and Hagerstown see it as a hick town “where you can’t even buy a pair of shorts”.    But that’s not necessarily a bad thing.  Sure Mercersburg has no Walmart and no McDo…

Graduation day for my nephew. As usual, being the youngest of 5 children, no ticket was available for me to attend the ceremony (just kidding sis!). So, I grabbed my GPS, camera and headed towards Doylestown, PA. It was a gorgeous day and I didn't mind being outside photographing.My first destinati…

This will be another trip of a lifetime for me! I have always wanted to go to Alaska since I don't know when, to be honest. I've had brochures, booklets, websites saved and 4 (yes 4) DVDs of nothing but Alaska programs from the Travel, Discovery & History channels! I've got all episodes of Into…
