Last week, I was back on the road for a trip to Virginia—one last getaway before winter sets in.
On the way, I stopped in Maryland on a lovely, warm day to visit fellow blogger, Robin, who was kind enough to invite me to her home for lunch. We talked as if we had know each other for years; it’s nice to discover that real friendships can develop over the internet.

My destination was Virginia Beach, VA where I attended a three-day conference, “Life Beyond Death,” at Edgar Casey’s Association for Research and Enlightenment. Two of the psychic speakers, Lisa Williams and John J. Oliver, were especially awesome.

When I arrived at the hotel, this lovely view of a rainbow, or two, welcomed me. I grabbed this photo with my cell phone as I hadn’t brought my camera to the room.

Next morning, this was the view of the sunrise from my hotel window. The weather turned rainy and cooler after this.

The day I left, I stopped by Chincoteague Island, VA to see the wild ponies. None seemed to be on the beach.

Finally, I found some at quite a distance (my camera was zoomed to the max), maybe half a mile away.

At the end of my journey, I stopped by Rehoboth Beach in Delaware on a very blustery day.

I find that it’s always good to get away, but just as nice to return home with an updated perspective on life. I leave you with the words of Lin Yutang ~ “No one realizes how beautiful it is to travel until he comes home and rests his head on his old, familiar pillow.”
