Kosher Vacations, Google-style

Share:

So you went searching on Google for kosher vacation rentals. And came up with some interesting responses.   But you want a really kosher vacation rental. From someone who understands the nuances of what a frum family is looking for. Mezuzas on the doors. Eruv information. Shabbos-friendly appliances.   No motion sensors or occupancy sensors all over the place creating serious chillul Shabbos shailos.   No. You’re a lot smarter...

Cold Feet, Brominated. (Part 2) A Winter (Mis?)Adventure

Share:

On 2020, hot tubs, quarantine, and witches in a blizzard, Part 2 By: S.A. Rowner (continued from part 1)   Uh-oh. Apparently, they sent him to a completely different house than what he’d booked, and it looked nothing even remotely like the pictures. Upon reaching out to the owner, she assured them not to worry, she had made a mistake and she owns multiple houses, so don’t worry if it’s...

Cold Feet, Brominated. (Part 1) A Winter (Mis?)Adventure

Share:

On 2020, hot tubs, quarantine, and witches in a blizzard, Part 1 By: S.A. Rowner   And so, as it inevitably happened to so many others these past two years, a friend of mine’s child tested positive for Covid.   As we all learned back in March, 2020 – and some of us are still learning through it – being stuck at home with everyone in quarantine is certainly no...

How Not to Vacation

Share:

Wintertime CAN be fun… or really not…   By: S.A. Rowner   The treadmill of a busy life just doesn’t stop.   And it gets tiring, makes one feel irritable, and sometimes just gets overwhelming. Never mind when enough life situations bombard you at the same time, making it feel like someone threw the speed switch up to the max.   And that’s what happened to a good friend of...

Living off the Land – (Part 3) – Quite Literally! – A Florida (Vacation?) Experience

Share:

(Continued from Part 2)   By: SA Rowner   The jet ski pricing at JSK was reasonable, the machines in great condition, and most importantly, the people nice.   Our guide pointed out a massive manatee hanging out by the docks to us. He explained that being creatures that live primarily in salt and brackish water, they love the treat of freshwater from the hose when he rinses the jetskis....

Living off the Land – (Part 2) – Quite Literally! – A Florida (Vacation?) Experience

Share:

(Continued from Part 1)   By SA Rowner The world of social media sharing makes so many jealous because people choose to share picture-perfect moments that make your life look like a fantasy on unending positive experiences.   You don’t find people sharing things that don’t go right. But face it, nothing in life is completely perfect.   It’s a good thing that you can’t smell pictures, because, well, while...

Living off the Land – (Part 1) – Quite Literally! – A Florida (Vacation?) Experience

Share:

(Warning… not for the faint of heart!)   By S.A. Rowner   There are two kinds of vacations. At least in my opinion.   There’s the vacation that you take, to just kick up your feet and relax, with a drink at your side, and do nothing but breathe.   Maybe I’ll enjoy those someday, but for now, I can’t imagine doing that for more than 45 minutes without dying...

Learn From My Mistakes

Share:

…so you don’t have to make them yourself. By S.A. Rowner   Sometimes you have to learn things the hard way.   Like the time I went skiing for the first time, when I was about nineteen or twenty years old and came down an entire frozen mountain, painfully on my posterior. Most of that pain was probably shame.   You see, I grew up in the era where roller...
