Wilmington Travel Blogs

Absolutely zero issues on the trip back home until we had to check back into the US.  Woke up on time, checked out promptly and caught the train as planned.  We even found a place to mail our postcards at Schiphol.  This had turned out to a real pain as selling postage stamps is…

I can’t pinpoint when I first became aware of Petra, but it was only within the last several years…and love at first sight.  Who could glimpse these magnificent, ancient structures cobbled into the red-rose walls of desert canyons and not be smitten?  Slowly I gathered tidbits around …

"Tomorrow will be a Good Day".  That is what my husband said as he logged on to Vent to play World of Warcraft. That was Friday night, the day before his birthday.  He is never excited about anything so I was surprised to hear that The plan for Saturday was that he and his brother hang ou…

Wilmington, North Carolina is a lovely and quaint town situated on the coast of North Carolina. It has lots of history and gorgeous beaches! It's also often referred to as the "Hollywood of the South" because it's home to television productions like Dawson's Creek and One Tree Hill. Needless to say, there are lots of small-scale actors in this area as well.

Today I leave to go to London!! I'm excited and nervous and just a bunch of things!! So the plan was to take a bus to Raleigh and then meet up with Jac and we were going to drive to Charlotte from there, which is where my plane takes off to london.  I thought since i could get a non stop fligh…

I am still not really ready to drive all the way to Charleston so I make one more stop a bit down the road in Wilmington. During the revolution this was the only major city in all of North Carolina. And during the Civil War the city escaped the destruction so many other southern cities suffered. He…

I received this lovely postcard from Vance. He specially chose the card with his daughter for me.... Thanks Vance.... Send my best regards to your lovely girl ;-)

We started our day with a relaxing 2 1/2 hours ferry ride from Ocracoke to Cedar Island.  I really didn't want to leave.  Ocracoke is a delightful place for a long vacation.  There are several outstanding restaurants and the choice of accommodations is excellent.  The North Caro…

That evening, it was time to go back to I-40 and finish off what little was left. It was night time, the last hundred miles to Wilmington. At the end, the freeway turns into a four lane highway and ends with a yellow diamond that says End Freeway. It was over. I drove the entire length of…

...quaint litle villages, here and there.I woke up in Wilmington at around 9:30 in the morning.  This was the first part of my journey where I was staying for longer than 8 hours, and since I didn't have to load all my stuff back into the car and rush out of the house, I sipped some coffee wit…

We spent the day downtown today. We went to the USS North Carolina Battleship, but decided not to pay the $12 to go on board. We did hang out for a while in the little park beside the ship, which is where the River Court from One Tree Hill is found We then went and did the river walk, which was lov…

Our  good friends Mike and Sharon from Motown made a last minute trip to visit me in NC. We decided to book last minute rooms in Wilmington and spend the weekend at the beach. Wrightsville beach was nice, the sand was better than Kill Devil Hills. The weather was so hot that most of …
