Day 6
Out for breakfast
February 9, 2023 in the United States
Today was a bit of a rest day. Dave wasn’t feeling well, not sure if it is jet lag or his MS playing up but he has bad vertigo which is causing him to vomit. He spent most of the afternoon sleeping. This happened last time we travelled overseas however his doctors thought they had it sorted, clearly not. If it can’t be sorted, it may be the end of our overseas travels.

On a brighter note, we went out for breakfast at a little Italian place called Peter Pause. Another delicious meal. We were kept entertained by a table of older Italian gentlemen with very strong Long Island/Italian accents (think American Italian mafia and you have it 😂) reliving their college days. Extremely entertaining.

From here we went to the local trading post (which are souvenir shops) that also sell local works of art. We bought a few little memorabilia pieces before heading to Vischer Ferry General Store for a look, photo opportunity and more memorabilia. On the way home we stopped off at Barnes & Noble bookstore. This is one of the largest bookstores I have ever been to.

The afternoon was enjoyed lazing around while Dave and Cath had a bit of a snooze. I enjoyed reading my book as I normally never have time to read.

We headed out to the Cheesecake Factory for dinner which again is magnificent food however it had to be cut short as Dave wasn’t feeling well. Hopefully tomorrow he will be on the mend. The night was finished eating popcorn while watching Dirty Dancing, a tradition for Cathy and I have every time we are together.Read more

Day 3
Exploring Nisky …
February 6, 2023 in the United States
Waking up at 6.00am today I thought to myself, it’s too early to get up, I’ll just shut my eyes for a while longer. Next time I opened my eyes it was 9.00am. Dave slept all night from about 9.30pm and I got to sleep about 11.30pm after writing the blog and posting photos. I think it was what we both needed as ‘touch wood’ we haven’t suffered any major jet lag like when we were here in 2019.

When I had my shower this morning, I looked out the window to some amazing snow ❄️ on the ground. Though it hasn’t snowed for many days here, it has been cold enough to keep the snow on the ground, making everything look beautiful and magical. As it was dark when we got here last night, I didn't realise there was so much snow on the ground, so was a lovely surprise to wake up to.

We headed out of the house about 10.30am collecting Cathy’s friend Judy along the way. We shopped at Trader Joe’s, Wholefoods and Hannaford which are all grocery stores. Both Dave and I find it interesting all the different grocery lines here in the States.

After dropping Judy home, we went to Panera Bread for lunch, which never disappoints. Dave had a sandwich and a smoothie and I had a delicious Smokey chicken salad. We then had a trip to Walmart where Tommy was spoilt again with Polo Ralph Lauren t-shirt and hoodie. I got myself a selfie stick, a battery bank for my phone as it isn’t lasting a day before going flat and the ‘Spare’ book by Prince Harry. Dave looked at many things but didn’t get anything. By this time it was about 3.30pm so we headed home and had a restful afternoon relaxing, reading and talking.

New York pizza for dinner which again never disappoints.

Tomorrow if weather is kind, we are heading to one of our favourite places, Weston in Vermont.Read more

As luck would have it, I just happened to be in the area today, and was able to catch another HMH3 trail north of Albany, NY. We had a slightly bigger pack than 2 weeks ago, and a bit longer trail. Starting at a recently closed bar & grill, our hares Dirtbag and Wasted Time (who would summarily be tagged as Wasted Flour after his virgin performance on this trail) set an interesting path around Clifton Park. The pack of roughly 12 made our way through the trials and tribulations of this mostly pavement trail.

We did have a few shiggy areas that caused the walkers and the stroller to deviate, but the rest of us finally made it to the beer stop. This is when things got a bit hinky. Our virgin hare was supposed to lead us into the finish from here, and he actually ended up getting lost (laying trail that no one followed . . . and ended up be the DFL), while the pack managed to find our own way back to the cars . . . as you might expect, the hares were regaled with many a song as they were rewarded with many down downs.

Despite the jocularity of this shindig, we all had a great time, with plenty of laughs. After circle, 6 of us found our way to a local pub for some grub, and had great conversations about sailing boats and the like. This will probably be my last hash in the USA for quite some time, as I head off to spend the rest of the year on the road in Asia, Australia, South America, and Antarctica . . . and maybe a few mystery excursions. Farewell to all my new friends here in Upstate New York.Read more
