Do you like fun prizes? In particular, do you have someone in your life that likes Toy Story 3 or PlayDoh?

Your Back-to-School Tips

by Barbara Feldman August 3, 2010

This is a big milestone year for our family, as back-to-school means sending our youngest daughter across the country (from San Diego to Boston) for her first year at college. We are busy buying dorm supplies (we “HEART” Bed Bath & Beyond’s college program), booking airline tickets (we already have her Thanksgiving trip booked!) and [...]

Monkeys at the Jungle Villa

by Barbara Feldman July 27, 2010

One of the main attractions of the Jungle Villa in Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica was the open layout of the living areas, with no walls between us and the jungle and the visiting monkeys. During our week, we had two gangs of capuchins come to visit. I was only home for one of the visits. [...]

La Paz Waterfall Gardens

by Barbara Feldman July 20, 2010

One of the highlights of our family trip to Costa Rica this summer, was the night time tour of the ranarium (frog nursery) at La Paz Waterfall Gardens.

I Need Help at Delta Airlines

by Barbara Feldman July 28, 2009

Anyone out there have contacts at Delta Airlines in Atlanta? My daughter’s being told that we can’t pay to change her flight home from Tel Aviv because it was a group fare. But others in her group were able to pay and change their flights. Apparently we need PERMISSION from Delta to be able to [...]

Funny Reason to Hate Away Messages

by Barbara Feldman November 3, 2008

Most email newsletter publishers probably agree with me: email away messages (aka email vacation messages) are evil. We hate them because every time we publish a newsletter, our inboxes are deluged with them. And have you ever been on an email discussion list when one (or half a dozen!) members keep sending their away messages [...]

My Weekend in New York

by Barbara Feldman September 3, 2008

I just returned from a trip with the kids to New York. We had a great time. I wish I knew how many miles we walked.

In one of my Twitter posts, I mentioned the monkeys (aka the Barbary apes of Gibraltar.) Here’s the video I shot with my Canon SD750. I hope you like [...]

Terrible Jet Lag

by Barbara Feldman August 11, 2008

Whee! We had a great time on the cruise, but are happy to be home. I have terrible jet lag; been waking up everyday at 4AM. Because I am in a fuzzy haze, I haven’t been getting much writing done. Did you see the first batch of pictures yet? Here they are:http://www.barbarafeldman.com/first_photos_from_cruise.html If you click [...]
