New Years Eve at Times Square – NYC 2018

December 31, 2018 – January 2, 2019 

John and I both grew up in New York and we have never seen the ball drop in person so this was a HUGE thing for us to do! It should be on everyone’s bucket list. You hear all the stories and you see it on TV how the pens are filled up and how you can’t get out of the pen once you are in it so to see it in person was something else.

We had the best time and met some really great people. We will do this again one day!

If you would like to see what and where we ate while in NYC.

My husband John and I are very fortunate to be able to travel the world the way we do. My father-in-law passed away at the age of 54 and never left New York. John decided that he would try and travel as much as he can before time passes us by and who am I to stop him (lol) so here we go….

We have been to 93 countries on six continents and 49 states in North America, and we are just getting started. Some of the posts are out of date order I apologize in advance. I also wanted to add that this website has become as busy as having a second job and that’s why it seems as if a 10-year-old is the writer. My husband John is also the editor and he is waaaaayyyyy behind so if there are any errors sorry.

If you have any questions, comments, or would like suggestions, please shoot me a message. Enjoy reading while we continue to explore this amazing world we live in.

If you would like to get in touch with us please feel free to send an email to  [email protected].

Cheers!

Montauk – The End of Long Island

Montauk is my absolute favorite place to visit. I can’t explain it but I just feel so great whenever we are there. Most people hear about the Hamptons but this is my go-to place. Unfortunately, it has become a popular vacation spot and it’s much busier.
