MaxontheMove begins another adventure traveling back to Israel. This trip was a long time coming starting out over 5+ years for my grandson’s Bat Mitzvah with Rhoda and Richard but the trip was cancelled last minute ( went to California instead). Here we are now going for my granddaughter’s Bat Mitzvah, same family, different relatives but missing  Uncle Dick in Florida and Aunt Rhoda.
Stayed tuned for a fun filled 2 week adventure which begins in Philadelphia, Denver, Newark Airport  with Jerusalem being base camp. Happy Holidays to those at home.

It’s been several months since posting. Visiting Florida for two great weeks with my sister and brother in law in Palm Beach only to return for the funeral of the sudden death of my dear sister.  Back in New Hampshire working st Camp, quick day’s trip to Maine and Ll Bean.

Max is onthe Move downtown Philadelphia to the Drexel/U of Penn Campus for a Benefit Performance For Living Beyond Breast Cancer featuring The Miners Band starring my son Keith Marlowe at The World Cafe.  SOLD OUT.
In honor of all survivors. In memory of all.

Attended a special event for the Palm Beach County Food Bank at The Church of  Bethesda-by-the-Sea that many communities across the nation are beginning to host. One ticket entitles you to a beautiful take home handmade ceramic bowl plus the samplings of donations from more than two dozen Palm Beach restaurants. Doing a good deed warms my heart.
Be available for all and any experiences you might encounter on your travels in life. Wish I had started a little earlier but I’m making up for it that’s for sure. I may not be jumping out of planes but I’m having a great time.

Fortunate to spend time in Palm Beach with family. Thursday evening at the Norton Art Gallery, quick walk through seeing the sculptures of Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney before seeing the original black and white movie “Sunset Boulevard” with Gloria Swanson and William Holden. Quite an evening.

To finish the Hartford wedding trip last week, beautiful bride, cold weather, but good times catching up with Camp friends.   I love built- in GPS in my car....pay extra for it in your next new car, it’s worth it!

Now skip ahead... it’s Wednesday, January 24, traveling to Palm Beach for a visit with family.  Typical, you say for this time of year, female traveler, well let’s beg. On time Uber driver, Southwest Airlines to Ft Lauderdale  can’t be beat in price and quality service. That’s where it ends.
My friend had reserved RIGHT CAR RENTAL for her two week visit  which I believe was one of the very few off site car rentals associated with Ft Lauderdale Airport. We could not seem to find where to meet their shuttle and had trouble reaching them by phone. After 20 minutes in the airport we waited another 15 minutes for pick-up. This was the good part. $189. paid up front  plus they wanted a hard copy of insurance declaration, not told ahead of time, or $12.95 per day for insurance plus $200.00 in case you decide to extend your stay! Needless to say she cancelled!  Instead went to Dollar Car Rental for $about $250+ for 2 weeks. Remember that travelers.
Tonight - off to the Norton Art Gallery.
 great price turned out to be a farce.
$15.00 a day as well as same for insurance unless she could present a paper copy of her insurance coverage. None of this was told to her when she booked the car. So an inexpensive car rental would be $400+ for 2 weeks instead of $240 for 2 weeks

Here I go again A small trip. Slow winter. Too cold but off to Hartford, Conn to a Camp Robindel  wedding. Our friendships are cross generational lasting a lifetime. Stay tuned.
