Where In The World Is Sum1?

Travel Day

Locale: Driving from Chantilly, Va. to Toronto Ontario

         After class was done yesterday at 11, I left Chantilly to start heading to Toronto.  I stopped for the night in New Jersey and had a wonderful meal.  This morning I woke at 5:30 and did a little work on WDC, mainly mentoring a new person on how to write reviews better.  I left about 8 and headed for Saratoga Springs.  Silly me.  I forgot my GPS was set to avoid toll roads, and ended up on highway 9W.  That wasn't bad though, it was a nice drive along the Hudson River.    It also allowed me the opportunity to stop along the way and investigate a lighthouse.  (See Tourist Activities below)

         It did delay me quite a bit, and what should have been a 3 hour drive took five instead.  I was only going to Saratoga Springs to get a German Growler (a 2 liter jug that holds beer).  I had gotten one there long ago, and figured since it was essentially on my way to Toronto, I'd stop by.  Instead of spending the night in Buffalo as I'd planned, I'm staying in Syracuse.  Had an outstanding meal at the Flat Iron Grill.  I had one of my favorite dishes, Bouillabaisse.  It was excellent and hit the spot nicely.,

         Saugerties Lighthouse/Bed & Breakfast      http://www.saugertieslighthouse.com/

         This is a really cool lighthouse, though it sits much lower than other lighthouses I've seen.  Then again, it's on the Hudson River, so it doesn't have to be seen for as many miles as it would if on the coast.  It's only $225 per night for two, with breakfast provided of course.  Additional people in the room are $40 each.  My thoughts were, "What a great place for a few people to meet who share a love.  A love of writing!"  Imagine meeting about 5-6 of your closest WDC friends there, and spend the weekend chatting about writing, ideas you have for a story, or maybe even working on something together.  What a dream, huh!



         Tomorrow I head to Toronto, it's about 4 hours from here.  That's it for now, I will post more later, particularly a couple of photo's I snapped in the museum.  Til then, keep writing, and enjoy the fall!
