The Frugal Joys of Car-Tripping: Roanoke, Virginia
The best kind of car trips are those that involve a scenic drive somewhere instead of brain-numbing miles of Interstate highway. That is precisely why a car trip to Roanoke, Virginia is a wonderful choice. The gorgeous Blue Ridge Mountains surrounding this lovely, scenic mountain town make the drive to Roanoke just as pleasant as … Continue reading

How To Not Lose Weight and Still Be Happy
I finally gave up on Weight Watchers last month. It was not them, it was me. It’s an excellent, healthy, weight lost program that really works. It worked great for the two friends who joined the program with me: They both immediately lost the extra 30 pounds and became lifetime members while I weighed in … Continue reading

Stupid Travel Mistakes We Made
We waited as the cab driver unloaded our suitcases, then I asked our friendly and pleasant driver how much we owed him. We had just been driven from the Buffalo airport to Niagara Falls – a trip that took approximately 20 minutes. I had noticed when we got in that the meter was not set … Continue reading
Summing Up the Norwegian Jewel
I had to make my own bed this morning. No room steward came in and efficiently and quickly whipped the covers up and smoothed them in that incomparable way they do. I also had to make my own breakfast and, at some point, today I need to vacuum my entire house and clean the bathrooms. … Continue reading
Halifax, Nova Scotia, Cannons and Fudge
I would like to let you know that, even though we are spending a great deal of time stuffing our faces with one culinary delight after another on the Norwegian Jewel (yum…mashed potatoes), we actually are making time to visit a few ports in between meals and snacks. One of those was the quite lovely … Continue reading
Sydney, Nova Scotia and Yet More Eating on the Norwegian Jewel
OK. I’m just a teeny bit embarrassed to tell you that I had mashed potatoes again last night. On a dinner plate. In my defense, I ordered the gratin potatoes, thinking I would try something different and yum gratin potatoes all cheesy and but no. Not only were they not especially good but Tom ordered … Continue reading
Eating and Relaxing on the Norwegian Jewel
I have now found my favorite place on the Jewel. This, of course, is completely aside from the restaurants onboard, which are all my favorite places because I am seriously having some of the best food on planet Earth. Possibly the universe.
At Sea on the Norwegian Jewel
We are cruising along on a navy blue sea with sparkles of gold on the tips of the waves which look like pirates have scattered their treasured doubloons on the water. The last time we left New York on our way to Bermuda, the water was so rough that the pool water was splashing up … Continue reading
Norwegian Jewel: Truly A Gem!
10. That’s how many cruises I have been on. So this Norwegian Cruise Lines cruise from New York to Canada/New England makes 11. I have even been on another cruise that left New York and sailed out past the Statue of Liberty. So it shouldn’t be all that exciting. But still. Still. I get that … Continue reading
Niagara Falls: Two Sides of a Coin
Niagara Falls. Honeymoons, hokey family vacations, maybe that movie with Marilyn Monroe. That’s what most people think of when you mention Niagara Falls. My own memories of Niagara Falls include a visit when I was 16 with a girlfriend and a vague memory of the falls. That’s it. And my husband had never even seen … Continue reading
