BACK IN THE SADDLE

Eureka! The move from hell is finally over, but repercussions still linger. Murphy's Law followed me all the way across the country. If it could go wrong, it did...big time!

Now I'm trying to adjust to apartment living, a new lifestyle for me, as the snow whirls around me.  Of course, my timing on arrival here coincided with the two worst blizzards to hit the Philadelphia area in decades. I haven't driven in snow in 36 years, so there's no way I'm going out there until the roads are free and clear of any ice, snow or slush.

Being held in solitary confinement has its bright side. I have been diligently working on my website all this week to bring tripsandtrends back to life. When I predicted that it would be late January before I could do any updates, I was not at all prepared for the unbelievable obstacles that got in my way. But now I'm up and running.

I hope you have all checked out the new reviews, bargains and trends I've posted on the Home Page, Hotels, Hip Trips and Travel Specials, to name a few. I'm determined to keep pace with the amazing promotions going on throughout the travel industry. At the rate they are coming in to me, I'm convinced just about anyone can afford a trip somewhere these days...especially all those souls who are up to here with snow. I can relate. I yearn for my Caribbean island days, and the beautiful weather and scenery I just left in Santa Cruz.

However, I'm here now, close to my family once again, and finding the good side to this big change. There's always one lurking around. All you have to do is look.

P.S.  I kept the illustration from my last blog...just to remind me of my recent trip to Jamaica, where there was no SNOW!
