Staying in Apartments While Travelling

My family originated in London, and I have always dreamed of visiting my relatives that still live there. For decades I have corresponded with some of them, even though I never met them face to face. Originally the correspondence started with U. S. Mail, and then eventually it went to email. Now some of them are even Facebook friends!

Apparently many of them live in the London area, and have offered to let me stay with them for a few days if I ever do go over to London. I think that is a very nice offer, but I think that I would rather stay in one of the many London Apartments that are available to rent on a short-term basis.

I don’t mean to sound snobbish, but I do remember when a few years ago I went to visit my son that was going to college in New Jersey, and I stayed with some relatives that I had never met before. I was on a very limited budget, and it was very nice of them to take me in. The problem was that they guest room was full of sketches that their very artistic daughter had done, and I found the sketches quite disturbing. And the relatives themselves insisted on feeding me supper both nights that I was there – and their food was awful! On top of that, they were drunk the entire time I was there!

When I recall that experience, staying in a neutral place when I travel, like the furnished London Apartments that are available, sounds better and better every time!

Finding Great Boston Luxury Real Estate

Okay I admit, I was  not “Big” on living in Boston or even visiting, until I did some reading about the lay of the land,  so to speak, and started looking into a site about Finding Great Boston Luxury Real Estate! Seriously folks…if you are the slightest interested in Boston big time luxury living, there are indeed places out there that are just right for you! Heck, I was even captivated by the homes presented to me!

What I saw were listings of some really awesome places that people could turn into homes in a heartbeat! Homes that would suit certain needs and wants without the hassle of trying to figure out the benefits all by one’s self.

I must say that I am impressed knowing I can get online and if I need to, I can find a great home to live in with minimal searching with this company!

Kids went to Camp Chateaugay and brought home some awesome summer camp pictures

First of all I had no idea what to expect with a summer camp for my two boys. I have two sons age eight and ten and they have never been to a summer camp before. But if you have two boys around that age you know that sometimes summer can seem very long as your nerves wear thin and your patience runs out. It’s not their fault it’s just, well they’re crazy boys and they need to get that energy out. So I bring you summer camp!

 

We looked around at a few camps online, checked out pictures, read reviews, talked to neighbors and checked on what kind of activities each one offered. We decided to go with Camp Chateaugay on one of the Adirondack Lakes in upstate New York after talking to the owners Hal and the assistant director Kirsten. They were both very nice, knowledgeable and had quite a bit of experience with both kids and camps.

 

Talking to the owners put my husband and I at ease and we took the kids up to the camp this past summer. They absolutely loved it and did not want to leave. They shared some of the awesome summer camp pictures that they had taken and it looked like they had an absolute blast. It was well worth the money spent in my opinion. I only wish I had found Camp Chateaugay a few years ago because if so it would have kept my sons busy with fun and kept me sane with some free time to get things around here done.

Dream Living and Golf at Verno Beach

I spent some time with my favorite aunt last weekend and we were talking about her retiring and finding a nice home or villa in Florida. She is an avid golfer and mentioned Golf Verno Beach and that she would love to check out the clubs, the community and also the perks one would have living there. She is all about quiet class and after looking at the site she showed me, I do believe it would be perfect for her and her needs. There are times that I stay with her and help with her various needs and I’m a beach person, so this also would be a choice location to fulfill my needs also.

There are all kinds of various things to make one perfectly content living there and also being a member of a gated community it would mean safety for the most part and a good place for my aunt to live. She is up there in age, but spry from all the activities she does and she doesn’t show or act her real age. She also enjoys the fine things and service she is accustom to, as she worked hard to get to the point where she doesn’t really have to worry about funds for such a great place. We will be going to look at various Real Estate properties there.

My aunt is planning on going down to Florida and do some shopping around for a home or at least a winter place she can live in, since the cold weather where she lives ruins her playing golf when she gets that urge!
