We will be in New Jersey over the weekend. We fly out tomorrow morning for Baltimore, MD, then we drive to Alexandria, VA where our hotel is. We are visiting VA, Washington DC, PA, and NJ.

My wifes been there and she say's all she can remember is the smell of the Purina dog food factory :D But that was a while ago, so it may have changed. She also said it's how she imagines Liverpool would be, although she's never been there, whatever that means. :rolleyes:

We are having a little holiday, visiting Washington DC and other places. Carol has family in NJ and we are visiting them on our last day. Carol's youngest daughter is also buried in NJ and we are going to visit her grave while we are up their. We will be in Deptford on Monday before driving back to Baltimore and flying home.

OK so you'll be south of Philly, that's a couple of hours away from me or you could have called in for a cuppa. :)

We live about a half hours drive south in Iowa City. A great university town that often appears in top ten lists of best places to live. Iowa has low housing costs, not much traffic, terrific schools and people that are super.

Aren't the negative comments from people who know nothing about Iowa great! They help keep slobs like them stuck in awful places like the East or West coasts.

Plse engage brain before putting mouth into gear.

After the 3rd post no one refered to Iowa or the OP. It was just a bit of light hearted banter between friends. If you don't like our sense of humour don't come onto BE forums..........you won't be missed. :mad:
