Hurricane Sandy: Aftermath

Let’s just start this post by saying that I am on day 3 without electricity.  I just wanted to give you an idea of my mental state.  In all honesty, I’m so grateful that my apartment and my neighborhood did not suffer much damage as a result of the...

Reporting Live from “Zone A”

There’s a hurricane a’comin!!!  Yes yes, hurricane Sandy is currently blasting New York City with high winds and rain, but I feel like a kid who’s had a snow day.  As a result of the storm, New York City shut down the subway system, all bus routes, and trains, making...

“What didn’t we do today?”

The above statement/ironic question was my friends response to my mom when she asked us what we did on our first day in Park City as a foursome.  To review things chronologically, three of my best friends arrived to Park City the night of the day I went hangliding. ...

The Art of the Inter-vacation Road Trip

I just made up that term but I like it!  So, when most people go on vacation, they tend to stay in one town/city and try to get a feel for the place by partaking in sightseeing activities or lounging by the hotel pool or beach.  Not I!  I...

Southern Belle

I miss the South.  There, I said it.  I never, ever thought I would say it but lately I’ve been finding myself fantasizing about packing up about 40% of my stuff, selling the rest and heading south of the Mason-Dixon line.  Way south.  As most of you know I grew...

NYC Snaps

Hey! I hope you had a great weekend! I spent this weekend mainly in my apartment since it’s rare that I get to enjoy some time at home these days.  Lately it even feels like it’s rare that I spend time in NYC on the weekends.  I’ve been fortunate to spend...
