Saturday, February 24: Trip to Belmar and Ocean Grove via Asbury Park

After a really good sleep last night we got up around 9:30 AM and I 

got ready to head out to fetch the rental car 30th St. and also go to the clubhouse at 

Paramount to get my water bottle that I forgot to pick up when I went to the 

meeting on Thursday tonight. Both of us felt a lot better after the rest that we got, so 

I got up forgot to bring my coffee and headed out to the rental 

car place. The only compact cars are electric cars and I was not doing any EV after the last experience that I had going to Long Beach Island. Anyhow, I got the car had 

to wait for them to get the cleaner out and clean the car and then I got the car for $10 more a day but I got some discounts so the rentals


are about 50 bucks.  Anyway, I was able to go to Fairmount Clubhouse and find a parking spot and
picked up the thermos. It is conveniently located 

in the kitchen so I didn’t have to interrupt the meeting that was going on. Which is good we then took I-95 and Hit the New Jersey Turnpike in invite and arrived at Belmar at this funny looking

 motel that rat called the Atlantic. It’s now 12:54 AM we have to kill time because

 we really can’t check in until 1 PM or 2 PM. The Ocean Grove and walk towards

 the beach and saw the the majestic hotel which didn’t have a cast 

catastrophic mechanical or repair bill or repair. It looks like it was 

just being renovated and they weren’t even nearly done yet. So you know somebody was not telling the truth. well, we checked into the hotel, which was OK. It looks like the office building 



was once a bank. The lady denied it but it sure looks like it was an old bank building. Anyhow, we checked in placing clean enough they have you know is simple

 breakfast is cereal and yogurt that we could indulge in. We then decided we would drive up Route 35 and see what it’s like north of us. 
It wasn’t a bad trip. In fact, we took a little snooze. We pulled over and took a little nap in the car, which was nice. We didn’t go back to the hotel warmed

 up the place and decided we’d go to bed early after trying to find stuff on TV. Oh we did watch legally blonde which can’t be fun.

Monday, April 5: Work Then a 5 Hour Trip to IUP

Yes I got up and got ready to go to work. I really didn’t know what I was going to do after work but I kept thinking about it. I have this  rental car till 
Wednesday at 10 AM and I’d like to use it for a trip because it’s not my car and I can drive as long as possible. Anyhow, I  got a new assignment & took care of that and then took 
 care of most of the work I needed to get done. I put in for a day off and 

 hen I took a nap and ate lunch. I was feeling conflicted all day where I 

 ant to go where are my life’s going etc. etc. I decided I would go to my 

 ld college in Indiana PA. My college is called IUP. Do used to be called the Big Indians when I was there now they’re called  the Redhawks if I’m not mistaken. Anyhow I took a tour and decided
 I’d avoid the tolls because I don’t really feel like spending $15 in tolls. The turnpike is gotten ridiculously expensive I’ve been hearing
 in the paper. It made the trip last longer than five hours. Anyhow I drove and drove. I fortunately brought snacks and super coffee  
with me to help me with the trip. I also 

 ought a cord to plug-in to the USB so I wouldn’t  have my phone die on me and I are in opportune time.

 I wanted to get there before sunset but I got there just as the sun was setting. 

 t was a wandering tour. Took lots of video. I don’t think I’ll ever come back  here unless suddenly I get up with my friend Abby and we go together because 

 t be a lot more fun to go with somebody’s been there. Anyway, I arrive

 there at around 8 PM. I talked on the phone and ordered myself a burrito 
and got a last-minute motel for $67 plus tax I guess. It was out in the middle of nowhere 2 miles from campus  but that was OK. Like Like I said it’s all little little

 bit weird right now for me. I’m glad I took the trip but it was a long one. I got to listen to my music. I went to my old rental on 477 Philadelphia St. That’s the main 

 rag at Indiana PA. It’s still the same. Not much else is I did see our patties. That 
building has been there forever that’s 
 robably about 60 years old at best. It took a while for them to make the 

 urrito but I got my reservation quickly and went straight to my room. I talked on the phone and then crashed really hard
