Hubby has had a gps for a year or two now, it was a gift from my parents. I used it a couple of times and once he complained, telling me that I hadn’t cleared it. I wouldn’t use it again after that, even though I wanted to. Several months ago I got a GPS of my own. It doesn’t have all of the features that his does but it will get me where I need to go if I need it. I love the convenience of having it in the car all of the time. I’ve used it on a couple of trips and it’s plotted me the way I would have chosen to go myself. Right before I got it three of us were going to a concert and weren’t sure where to go. We asked and the directions we were given were to “get to the other side”. Unfortunately we couldn’t find out the other side of what. I’m so glad I don’t have to worry about that happening again. Now I can get to the other side on my own. I recommend having a GPS highly.

I’m getting ready to redo my older son’s room. This got me thinking into the future, for when I redo my younger son’s room. It’s a ways off but I like to get my ideas in place ahead of time. I never considered
classroom furniture before but once I started thinking about it it sort of makes sense. The furniture is durable and I think the cubby units would look cute and make for great storage. It’s look really organized too. I’ll have to check pricing details for when we make the budget.

My brother’s been talking about taking a trip to Cancun. We got to talking about how we’ve always heard that you shouldn’t drink the water in Mexico or you get really sick. We decided a colon cleanse might be preferable to the problems we’ve heard about people having. Curious why they say not to drink the water, we did a little reading. According to a few websites the water table there is close to the surface, therefore contaminated by dumps and runoff. Even one of the Cancun sites said visitors should drink bottled water. Hmmmm. Not exactly a visitor enticing thing, is it.

This week’s Saturday Safari takes me to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina via the Myrtle Beach Cam. My parents are traveling there tomorrow. It’s June so it should be in the mid to high 80s there. It’s much more humid in the South than it is here in New Jersey so I’m hoping the hotel they’re staying at is near the ocean so it’ll be a little cooler. I hope they have good weather and a great time.

I saw my brother this morning and we got to talking about travel. One of the places he wants to go is Cancun. That’s why today’s Saturday Safari takes us to Cancun via the Cancun Cam. Cancun is a city on the coast of Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula. I didn’t know until today that it was also called the Mexican Caribbean. More thaqn four million people visit Cancun every year. There are over 150 hotels in Cancun, most of which are contained within the “hotel zone”.
