There are so many stories of New Yorkers being rude and we even had a woman from New Jersey ask Tom why he would want to go to “the city.” But we found nothing but kind and enjoyable people. Yes, there are lots of people honking horns and people are busy and in their own…

Yesterday we successfully navigated the New Jersey Transit System. We took the train from Dover into Penn Station, caught a cab to a Starbucks near Central Park and waited for our Pedi-Cab driver to pick us up. It was a wonderful tour of some of the sights of Central Park. There were so many movie…

Yesterday morning we headed to Liberty Park to catch the ferry to Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty. I’ll be honest and say, I never thought I’d see it in person. We had a wonderful but tiring day. We went to the Statue first and arrived at the area to visit the pedestal. Most…

This morning we awoke to rain and cold. It didn’t get out of the 50’s here today. We headed towards Boston early this morning. We are in Littleton, MA. We found the Alewife subway station with no problems, parked and picked up our Charlie Card to ride. We got off at South Station and walked…

We took the bus to Bar Harbor to pick up our electric car. Sadly, I forgot to take a picture of the little Gem. It reminds me of Smart Car. It is actually a glorified golf cart that only goes 25 mph. We sat off for the park but you can only drive on roads…

Yesterday we arrived in Maine, my 47th state. We stopped at a rest area, and a truck/camper from Connecticut went the wrong way and almost hit the truck to get into a parking space. The funny thing is, they are two spaces away from us in our campground. Tom keeps calling him my buddy. I…

Quechee Gorge was our first stop this morning. They are doing some work on the bridge but we took a little hike to get a view and then were able to walk along the bridge and got a better view. It’s billed as the Grand Canyon of Vermont. I wouldn’t go that far but it…

Yesterday we traveled to Cooperstown NY. It has been a dream to see the Baseball Hall of Fame. We arrived shortly after opening and there was a line to the sidewalk. There were several groups off to the side and more people arriving by the minute. We got in shortly after 9:30 and started our…

This morning we crossed The Rainbow Bridge back into Canada after arriving in New York yesterday. We decided to go back across the border because we had originally booked this tour for last Friday. When we cancelled because it was over two hours away, the guide contacted me to offer us $10 off for each…

We went on an adventure today. Tom wanted to see “The Hole in the Rock.” So, we headed out with our trusty map to find a hole….in a rock. We traveled through the campground following said map and it’s a good thing Tom has better navigation skills than I do, because I was sure he…
