New Bern NC Go There

Thursday, December 18th, 2008

I would like to know if Mr. Greenberg has ever visited New Bern NC or just used Mr. Dove’s comments about the Neuse River. Just a few short years ago Matt Lauer named New Bern as one of the three best retirement communities in America. You actually might want to visit a place or at [...]

Wednesday, November 12th, 2008

Virginia Beach, VA in the off season

Wednesday, November 5th, 2008

We did no have a good experience in Virginia Beach. Due to our stand-by status with the airlines, we travel off peak which makes good economic sense (although it does have its downside).
