Upon taking a closer look at this area, I am even more convinced that this area is almost the perfect spot for my . If anyone else has vacationed in this area, would you mind chiming in so that I can hear about your experiences? Thank you so much!

Your Favorite Vacation Spot?

My and I are tossing around some different ideas for a late winter . It’s so cold where we live and about this time of the year the winter can get pretty hard to bear.

We go to the southwest every fall…and this year I have suggested somewhere east instead. I’m thinking Outer Banks, though I have yet to convince my husband. I was looking at Outer Banks rentals yesterday and I think we could really enjoy ourselves.

Have you been to this area? What did you like about it? What didn’t you like? I thank you for your input!

NYC Condos For Sale

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to live in one of those luxury New York City condos?

New York City Real Estate

At some point I would really like to experience New York City. I am almost embarrassed to tell you that I haven’t visited New York. At some point, I think everyone should at least see a 5th Avenue Penthouse for themselves just to be able to say that you have seen NYC Real Estate for yourself.

I know that the lifestyle of New York City is not for me, but I would like to see the sights, go to some shows, do some shopping, and take a look at some of the condos and apartments. The 5th Avenue Real Estate is something to behold, I’m quite sure.

Then once I’ve seen it I can happily go back home to my little life and cross that off my list!

10 Things You Need To Do Before Leaving On Vacation

My and I are leaving for our annual road trip on Friday morning. As you might expect, things are a little chaotic as we are completing final preparations for being away from home for several weeks.

It’s always a little unnerving to considering being away for a while and if you’re like me…you worry about leaving your home. There are definitely things you need to remember to do before you leave to ensure that your homecoming will be a pleasant one!

  1. Lock all doors and windows.
  2. Unplug most electronic items.  This includes the TV, stereo, and especially computers.
  3. Turn the water heater down to a low setting.
  4. Suspend your newspaper and mail delivery.
  5. Consider leaving a radio or some other noise going in the house that makes sound.  This makes it seem like someone is home.
  6. Disconnect the garage door so that it cannot be operated from the outside.
  7. Unplug your washing machine hoses. These often break and the water damage would be considerable.
  8. Remove perishable food from the refrigerator.
  9. Pay your bills before you leave.
  10. Ask a neighbor to put out trashcans on garbage day.

Lists are my best friend when I am preparing for a !  I have a list with all of these items on it and I also have several other packing lists going right now too.  Have I forgotten anything?  Please let me know!
