ON THE ROAD AGAIN

As Wille so aptly said it....
"On the road again,
Just can't wait to get on the road again
like a band of gypsies we go down the highway
We're the best of friends
insisting that the world keep turning our way
AND WE CAN'T WAIT TO GET ON THE ROAD AGAIN"
ROAD TRIP- a journey via automobile

I guess driving the 22,500 miles to the Arctic Ocean last summer wasn't enough. So after overpacking the SUV again we are off and running to celebrate the open road. This year we are headed to the Eastern half of the good ol'USA on up to St. Edwards Island and Newfoundland. More family, friends, Fishers, faith and forests. Will we qualify as Professional Road Trippers? Is this the Baby Boomer version of hitchhiking? Does Dashboarding count as exercise? So glad I can pack the "extras" and not pay "extra" and so love not having to stand in line to take off my shoes to change states. Besides it's an excellent way to shed some skin and live out loud. Check out the schedule and see if you're on the trip tick. Our most valuable souvenir are the hugs and stories we can't wait to share. Look over at the archived blogs on the right side as it stores the "older" blog entries there....don't want you to miss the trip from day one!

CONFIRMED ROADIES

After last summers "once in a life time road trip" we were hooked-if bored one evening see pamelacollins.blogspot.com (North to Alaska) for sordid details. There are plenty of reasons to hit the road and celebrate America's (and Canada too!) cultural heritage and natural wonders. Although we haven't experienced the meandering version-our trip is kinda planned and suits our purpose. Our focus are the FIVE F'S (family, friends, fishers, faith, forests). With the blessing of health and time we are free to visit and experience our F's. We have also learned the way to a healthy life style on a long road trip....goal for this trip is to eat green and healthy- no more Bubba's Jerky and Corn Dogs. Bubba is even bringing his Vita Mixer. Nothing like a Slimey I mean green smoothie to start the day off. Pleep only indulges in the banana smoothies...no green for the Pleepmeister. And yes there has been a new addition to the Collins Road Family- Pleep now has a sister- Pleetisha (aka Sis). After he laid down the rules of the road to Sis and made it clear who is in charge of this rig she smiled sweetly and said "you bet Bro!" So come along for the ride- Happy Trails!

DAY 13 NYC SECRET SERVICE REUNION SET UP/ B AND H

ASSOCIATION OF FORMER AGENTS OF THE UNITED STATES SECRET SERVICE ANNUAL REUNION           Bubba and Buddy help with a little set up for the Reunion while I sneak away to have lunch with my cousin "Chip".  More about Chip later as we will also visit him at his farm in upstate New York....



B AND H  ELECTRONS FABULOSITY
 So for the 5th time to replace the "missing" camera charger Chip takes me over to B and H electronics-a destination in and of itself.  We are talking a major league " boy toys store" (yup 97% of patrons were guys) owned and operated by Hassidic Jews.  Not only do they sell every electronic gizmo under the sun but at the best prices and very efficiently.  This 70,000 square foot superstore is world renowned as the place to be for photo and video equipment.  An incredible selection of equipment awaits your visit.  Touch, feel, experiment, ask and discuss with very knowledgeable guys, exactly or not so exactly what you are looking for-WITHOUT SALES PRESSURE.  Are you sure we are in NYC?!  What a shopping experience!  If ya haven't been, be sure to hit it on your next NYC visit- but never on a Saturday.  Don't show up during Rosh Hash (Sept 8-12) as they will be closed.   As I left I broke out in Dreidle Dreidle Dreidle !                                               check it out  www.bhphotovideo.com
