We are in the middle of another nor’easter. This has got to be the 4th or 5th this season. It started out as the remnants of a tropical storm that came ashore around Florida/Alabama and formed into a nor’easter. The weatherman said this nor’easter is stronger than the tropical storm was. We’re getting high winds and rain and are expecting coastal flooding. I sure wouldn’t have wanted to be the people living in the Outer Banks rentals in North Carolina. I heard they were getting it bad, in the Carolinas, yesterday.
I didn’t hear anything from Kris, who lives in Myrtle Beach, so I guess he survived the storm ok.

We traveled by car to Texas just about a year ago to take the boys down to their mom. I’m so glad I didn’t take them down by myself. Of course having 2 young boys along we had to stop at rest areas to use the restrooms and Eddie seemed to have a fascination with the hand dryers. Hubby had to keep telling him to stop messing with them.
It would have been hard on me and could have been dangerous letting them go into the men’s restroom on their own since it would have been very awkward if I went in there with them or took them into the ladies room. But it all worked out without too much aggravation on hubby’s part.
If you’re a single mom or dad how do you work out the restroom thing when you travel with your son or daughter?

My son flies a corporate jet all over the country. He’s also flown people to the Bahamas & Bermuda too. A lot of times he has to stay overnight and has stayed in anaheim california hotels, hotels in the heartland, on the east coast and in those lovely vacation spots and many other places.
I’m so jealous. I have traveled a lot but as I’ve mentioned here so many times I want to go someplace where the weather is warm and the water is crystal clear. I just hope I’m able to do that before I’m too old to enjoy it.

It’s fall and winter is coming and it’s time to think about winter vacation places. If you like to ski then Aspen might be a good choice or the Poconos. If you like it warm then look for hotels in cancun, the Caribbean or some other nice warm spot.
I would love to take a vacation like one of those but the finances will not allow that right now. Maybe after I finally find a job or a rich relative dies I can take the vacation of my dreams. I’ve written about my dream vacation here several times. It involves nice warm temperatures and clear, blue water!

The digital revolution is in full swing. Everywhere you go you see people with their digital cameras and digital camcorders. Everyone is keeping digital records of everything that goes on in their lives… a wedding, birth of a child, 1st day of school, sporting events, etc. Everything that can be recorded is being recorded.
Photos and videos are popping up all over the internet. It’s a great way to share family moments with relatives and friends who live far away.
On our trip to Texas in November 2007 to Andi’s homecoming from Iraq I took at least 200 pictures on the way to, the way home from Texas and at her homecoming ceremony. It was the 1st time I had a digital camera and a laptop on a trip. I was able to download the photos each night onto the laptop. I still look at those photos and they still bring back strong memories of a very important time in our lives.
