Trip Planning Underway

Hello Hello out there!

I've been running around in all directions today, so I've bopped on here a slight bit later than usual.

Much of our packing was done last night but to no surprise all of the stuff that we are taking will not fit in the luggage that I had planned to take.

So now added to today's chores will be switching luggage around and hopefully finishing up with our packing. 

As far as Dave's stuff goes, I will assist him in his most HATED chore (packing) this weekend.

One thing that I did yesterday was take Cosette to go see Dream.   And as usual we brought a bucket of grain - which is a huge treat that Dream absolutely LOVES. 

Once back home, I actually had time to do some trip planning - a favorite past time of mine as you know.

​I was thrilled and quite excited to finally BOOK Prague (this was the last hotel that still needed booking). Dave had wanted to help in choosing the hotel for Prague and so I waited... And waited... And finally I just couldn't wait any longer.

So he agreed to look at hotels with me last night and I'm happy to announce that we are now BOOKED!

Vienna ​was another city that I was working on in terms of plans - concerts to be exact!

One of the selections will be:
​VIENNA RESIDENCE ORCHESTRA
Where we will listen to the world famous music of W.A. Mozart and Johann Strauss at the most beautiful historical locations in Vienna. Renowned opera singers and ballet-dancers will enchant you. The ensemble is performing in historical costumes.

Another of our selections will be:
KONZERTE IM MOZARTHAUS
Listening to the "Mozart Ensemble" in the "Sala Terrena", the oldest concert hall in Vienna, where Mozart played himself.

While I was at it I was also working on doing a Sound of Music Tour while in Salzburg. And our visit to Neuschwanstein castle.

What an amazing trip this is going to be!!!
Stay posted on future updates and a separate page set up for this trip.

Now back to talking about MUSIC and CONCERTS...

TONIGHT our gang is heading to another 80's concert! This will be our third. And with 80’s favorites: Boy George, Adam Ant, The Bangles, Violent Femmes, Salt-N-Pepa, The Romantics, Tone Loc, A Flock of Seagulls, Dramarama, Melle Mel and Scorpio of the Furious Five, The Sugarhill Gang, and Nick Heyward of Haircut 100. It's sure to be Bombdigity!

And I'll tell you all about it in tomorrow's Daily Scoop...

Time for me to bounce,

A Visit to Sagamore Hill & Foodie Friday: CoreLife Eatery

Finally Friday!! Normally, I don't care if it's mid-week or the weekend, but today, I'm so happy for it to be Friday, since I have had plans for a few weeks to visit Sagamore Hill!

For any of you that are not familiar with this National Historic Site, Sagamore Hill, located in Oyster Bay, Long Island, was the home of Theodore Roosevelt, 26th President of the United States, from 1885 until his death in 1919. During Roosevelt's time in office, his "Summer White House" was the focus of international attention.

This will be my third visit, but it's my first since a major renovation took place from 2011 to 2015,  during which time it was closed for restoration work to take place.

What I'm really psyched about is that my Aunt Ro will be coming on this day trip with me, and it is her first time visiting.

Today is also "Foodie Friday" and I'm very excited to tell you all about the newest franchise to hit Long Island, CoreLife Eatery. 

Although, I told you about the grand opening of the first location here on Long Island, in Farmingdale, I have brought you lots more details about the food, the philosophy and the expansion plans, thanks my  meeting and interview with one of the owners of this newly opened restaurant.
