We finally arrived home late last night, to a nice warm house with running water, but no internet, phones or cable. Just when I thought I would have to go to the library to access the internet (other than on my iPhone), like magic it came back on this afternoon after 11 days!! Since my refrigerator and freezer are bare, a trip to the grocery store must take precedence over a blog post for today. I will be back on Monday with tales of our travels to flee the “Hurricane Sandy” power outage and lots of other interesting new travel stories.
Have a wonderful weekend everyone – it is supposed to hit 60 degrees here in the New York area this weekend!!

Hello! Welcome home! Oh my goodness I bet it was nice to be in your own home, with your own stuff!
Thankfully you were unhurt and suffered no damage!
Thank you for the tip, I will pass that along to people who have asked. It is heartbreaking to see such misery and suffering.
Enjoy your weekend, elizabeth

We were 10.5 days…just crazy. I don't think I will ever forget this experience. Next spring, when the sun comes up high, I will notice the impact of all the missing trees. I hope everyone recovers soon.

We are all a battered bunch aren't we? Just 8 days for me and I consider myself so lucky! Hoping things get back to normal soon for so many still without power..

Good luck to you, this has been surreal for so many of us but i am grateful to have the things that matter most, family, a roof over our heads, warm water and heat…..unfortunately for so many they are still living the nightmare. My heart goes out to them and I continue to keep them in my prayers. Hope things are getting back to normal for you!
