NEW YORK, New York BUCKET LIST
For “Family Home Evening”, we made a NYC bucket-list. And, with two weeks left in the city, and Aunt Amelia with us for the duration, we set to work! ROCKAWAY BEACH is a long bus ride from home, but body-boarding on the waves made it worth the trek. Though visiting this beach was not a …

LONDON, England
Are you planning a jolly holiday in London? Our time in the City was just shy of three years. Not insignificant, to be sure. But not qualifying us as experts, either. That being said, the following is a compilation of the many emails I have sent over the years, in answer to the blog’s most frequently …
WELLS BEACH, Maine
We stayed in a small flat above an old yellow shingled surf shop. A couple surfers, too worn out to hit the waves themselves anymore, from the look of it, set up shop here 15 years ago – living the dream! They rent out the attic to help subsidize the dream. And it is everything …
MADRID, Spain
While in the car, nearing Madrid, L called from the backseat, “Is this our destiny?” I do not know that Madrid’s our “destiny”, but it was our destination that evening, and where we spent just a short time as a family. Our Spanish flat was located above a city bakery. Score! TOP TEN in MADRID: Teleferico de Madrid. …
CORNWALL, England
SUNDAY. After church, we hiked up to an English Heritage site, Tintagel Castle. This 800 year old castle (800!), built on a cliff overlooking the Atlantic, is where, legend has it, King Arthur was born. MONDAY. Before our trek to Land’s End (not the popular chain store, but the southern most tip of England), we took a scenic …
LISBON, Portugal
Portugal was stunning. The streets and walkways, so quaint, each of a mosaic-type. And the buildings, with their hand-painted tiles. The street tram. The hills. Lisbon is called the ‘City of 8 Hills’, but after walking the city for several days, the children and I testify that there are more than eight hills to traverse! Sunday morning, …
NYC PIZZA TOP TEN, Queens, New York City
We made Queens our final borough. See Manhattan and Brooklyn for the previous two days’ worth of NYC pizzas sampled. QUEENS (in order of pizzerias visited) FAMOUS PIZZA at 75-12 37th Ave, in Jackson Heights, Queens. There are many “Famous Pizza”s in Queens. Most of which are not related. For better or worse, we chose the most convenient. …
NYC PIZZA TOP TEN, Brooklyn, New York City
Thanks to msn.com we were apprised as to the top 101 pizzerias in America. I was, of course, not surprised that 35 of the 101 pizzerias listed came from New York. Yes, we are living in the right place for a pizza-pursuit!! Day two. With Manhattan under our belts (quite literally, in this case), we shifted …
