Today, Uncle Paul and I took the Screen Gems Studio tour. This film studio is the largest east of Los Angeles. This is where they filmed Dawson's Creek and are currently filming One Tree Hill.
After the tour, we went over to the local animal shelter. It is very small, with very few dogs. It seems that there are a lot of rescue organizations in the are, so the load is spread.
Next, we went down town to check out RiverFest. There were many booths, a lot offering food, and some that seemed out of place, like a booth selling bathroom fixtures. We were limited by the parking meter, but it was just long enough.
We went to a mall, and while waiting for Uncle Paul's sun glasses to be fixed, we had some Pizza.
Next, we went on the great rug hunt. We went to a few furniture stores to try and find a rug he had seen. Carolyn joined us towards the end, but nothing was decided.
We rented a movie, Australia, and watched it after eating great spaghetti that Uncle Paul made.

Bald Head Island - October 2nd
We had planned to go to Morehead City to visit a seafood festival, but since the weather was a bit iffy (It looked like it would rain), we decided to go someplace else.
We drove south along the coast towards Carolina Beach and passed through Kure Beach. We looked at the aquarium at Fort Fisher (from the outside) and took the ferry across the river to Southport.
From Southport, we took another ferry (this time without the car) to Bald head Island.
Bald Head Island is the most southern of the North Carolina Barrier islands, has North Carolina oldest standing lighthouse, old baldy, some restaurants and lots of very nice homes.
After having a drink at Eb and Flo's, we rented a golf cart, since no cars are allowed on the island.
We drove around the island, stopped at the lighthouse, and went down the beach.
I was forced to get my feet wet and sandy (see pictures) at the beach.
We drove around some more, and then went back to Eb and Flo's for supper.
We took the 8:30 ferry back to Soutport and then drove back home.

From New Jersey to Wilmington NC - September 30th
Dana and I got up very early, and she took me to Newark airport.
When I got on the plane, I saw that the person seated next to me was very wide and already had both arm rests up. It was a tight squeeze, but I didn't say anything. Just before we pushed back, the flight attendant told me I could switch seats so that everyone would be comfortable.
The flight was fine, and we arrived in Charlotte just on schedule.
The flight to Wilmington was fine too and we arrived more or less on schedule.
Uncle Paul met me at the airport, and after picking up my bag, we set off.
We had lunch at P.T.'s Olde Fashioned Grille and then went home.
I met Skyler for the first time. She is very cute for a 3 month old baby.
We spent the rest of the afternoon doing computer stuff. I set up a wireless router for them so I could use my own computer.
After Summer came to pick up Skyler, Uncle Paul made supper, and then we relaxed and went to sleep.

New York - September 29th
Dana took me to the bus and I took the bus into New York.
I got off the bus at the Port Authority Bus Station and got a MetroCard Fun Pass that would let me use the buses and subways for the whole day.
I walk down to 34th and 9th to B&H Photo. I bought a filter for me new lens and a lens hood for my old lens.
From there I took the bus along 34th street to 5th avenue neat the empire state building and then the subway down to the Brooklyn Bridge subway station.
I walked across the Brooklyn Bridge. The views were great, but it was very windy.
I walked around the Brooklyn side for a bit and then took the Subway back to Manhattan and up to 77th street. I tried to say hello to the people I know at Ramaz, but they were all busy or not there.
I went into a best buy on the corner of 86th and Lexington and found the address of the New York SPCA. It was on 92nd between 1st and York, so I walked up there. They didn't really have time for me.
I walked through Carl Schurz Park and saw the dog parks (two, one for small dogs and one for large ones) and Gracie Mansion (The official residence of the Mayor of New York City). I walked passed 10 east end avenue where we lived when we were in New York, and the doorman, Richie, actually recognized me.
I took the 79th street bus across town to Broadway and then walked down to 41st street and then back to Port Authority Bus Station.
I took the bus back to Willowbrook mall, where I met Dana.
We did some mall walking, had supper and then went to get Dana some groceries.
That was it for the day.

Portland to New Jersey
I woke up at around 4:45 am after a restless night, since I was afraid to oversleep. I drove to the airport, returned the car, and got on the plane.
The plane left on time and arrived on time. The plane was equiped with a new enertainmanet system that let you watch movies and a lot of live TV channels. I saw two movies during the flight: Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian and The Proposal.
After getting out of the airport, I called Dana, and she picked me up about 15 minutes. We drove home, had enough time to do a little food shopping, change and go to schull. After Schull we went to the Fields for supper and then home.

Portland - Day 4 - פורטלנד - היום הרביעי
Today I stayed within Portland.
I started with some shopping, them visited the Oregon Humane Society. They have a lovely facility. I was given a tour in Hebrew, by Dora.
Next I went to the Lloyd center - a nice mall in Portland.
My next stop was Powell books, A huge bookstore in down town Portland.
Mt. Tabor park was my next stop. It's a lovely park built around an extinct volcano.
I took the long way back, stopping at some more stores to look around.

Portland – Day 3 פורטלנד - היום השלישי
On my third day in Portland, I drove the Mt. Hood Scenic highway
After getting some gas, I left Portland and headed east. I stopped at the Forest Service information center in Sandy and then continued on Government Camp (That's the name of the town).
In Government Camp I visited the local museum and information center. I drove up to Timberline Lodge at about 6000' or over 1800 meters.
From there I drove to Timothy Lake. It's very nice, but I was getting hungry so I started back.
I drove to Hood River (the name of the town) where I are something and then took I-84 along the Columbia River back towards Portland.
My first stop was Cascade Locks. These locks were used in the past, but when the Bonneville Dam was built they were flooded and had to stop being used.
Next, I stopped at Bonneville Dam. Bonneville Dam was built in the late 30's to provide electricity for the Northwest. Since then it has been expanded several times.
At exit 35 I got off the interstate and started driving along the Historic Columbia River Highway. It runs parallel to the interstate, but only has one lane each way.
Along the road there are many waterfalls. I stopped at Horsetail Falls and at Multnomah Falls. I then stopped at Vista House at Crown Point where there are beautiful views of the Columbia River.
I climber up to Larch Mountain, which is 1000 meters above the Columbia. When I got to the end of the road, I discovered that you have to pay, but I didn't have exact change, and there was no one to make change, so I had to leave without seeing the views.
By this time I was getting tired, so I went back home. I drove about 250 miles or 400 km today.

Portland - day 2 – פורטלנד - היום השני
On my second day I drove towards Oregon's pacific coast. Before leaving, I managed to get the GPS to work which made the trip much nicer. I left Portland at about 8 am and drove west on US-26. The first part was pretty boring, but the last 30 miles where through forested mountains and very beautiful. I got to Seaside at around 10 and after a short visit to the information center, I headed to the beach. The beach is very nice, but since I don't really like sand I didn't go and dip my toe in the ocean. My first stop was at the aquarium. It's a small exhibit of the local sea life. They also have a group of harbor seals that you can feed. Next I took a walk along the Prom(enade). It's mostly various types of hotels. I returned to the car and drove to the Tilamook trail head. After I read the information I decided that I would walk on the trail for an hour and then come back. The trail was very nice, mostly shaded, but quite steep. After about half an hour I decided I had had enough and started back down. I ate some lunch at Subway and then headed to Astoria. Astoria is a nice little town at the mouth of the Columbia River. One of its claims to fame is the movies that were made there including Free Willy, Goonies and Kindergarten Cop. I went in to the Information Center and got a map. There is a path along the river, and I walked along most of it, about 3.5 km. At the end of the path there is a pier with a large group of very loud sea lions. The posed very nicely for pictures. There is a trolley that runs along the path, and I took that to the beginning and started my drive back to Portland. I made a mistake and decided to drive along the northern bank of the river. This made the drive about 50% longer. I got back to Portland about 7:30 pm. Pictures can be seen at http://picasaweb.google.com/gadi.ben.avi/OregonCoast | ביומי השני בפורטלנד נסעתי לחוף האוקיינוס השקט של אורגון. לפני שיצאתי הצלחתי להפעיל את ה-GPS כך שהנסיעה הייתה הרבה יותר נעימה יצאתי מפורטלנד בשעה 8 בבוקר ונסעתי מערבה בכביש 26. החלק הראשון היה די משעמם, בל 30 המיילים האחרונים היו דרך הרים מיוערים והיו מדהימים הגעתי ל-Seaside ב-10 ולאחר ביקור קצר במרכז המידע נסעתי לכיוון החוף. החוף מאוד נחמד, אבל מכיוון שאני לא כל כך אוהב חול, לא הגעתי עד המים התחנה הראשונה שלי הייתה האקווריום. יש שם תצוגה קטנה של חיי הים המקומיים. יש להם גם להקה קטנה של כלבי ים שאפשר להאכיל. לאחר מכן טיילתי על הטיילת. יש שם בעיקר הרבה מלונות מסוגים שונים חזרתי לרכב ונסעתי לתחילת מסלול הליכה בשם Tilamook trail. לאחר שקראתי את המידע בתחילת המסלול החלטתי שאלך במשך שעה ואז אחזור. המסלול היה מאד נחמד, מוצל ברובו אבל די תלול. לאחר כחצי שעה החלטתי שמספיק וחזרתי לרכב. אכלתי ארוחת צהריים בסבווי ונסעתי לכיוון אסטוריה. אסטוריה היא עירה חמודה בשפך נהר הקולומביה. הלכתי למרכז המידע ולקחתי מפה. יש טיילת לאורך הנהר והלכתי לאורך רובה, מרחק של כ-3.5 קילומטר. בסוף הטיילת יש מזח עלי שוכבים קבוצה די גדולה של אריות ים. הם הצטלמו יפה מאוד ועם עשו המון רעש יש חשמלית הנוסעת לאורך הטיילת ונסעתי בה חזרה לתחילת המסלול והתחלתי את הנסיעה חזרה לפורטלנד עשיתי טעות והחלטתי לנסוע על הגדה הצפונית של הנהר. בכך הארכתי את הנסיעה ב-50%. הגעתי חזרה לפורטלנד ב-7:30 בערב. אפשר לראות תמונות בכתובת http://picasaweb.google.com/gadi.ben.avi/OregonCoast | |

Portland – Day 1 פורטלנד – היום הראשון
On Monday morning, Dana took me to the airport. The drive to the airport took a long time. Once I got there I checked my bag, went through security and got to the gate just as they were starting to board. I had a little problem at the security check point because the name of the boarding pass was Gadi and on the passport is says Gad, but she decided that it was Ok. The flight was uneventful. I sat in row 5, which is the first row in coach, so I could see everything that was going on in 1st class. Once I got to Portland, I took the shuttle to the rental car place and got a car. They gave me a Hyundai Accent. Then I set up my GPS. It could tell me where I was, show me where I had to go, but not tell me how to get there, so I had to do it the old fashioned way. I took a while, but I finally got to Len's. Len and I went to high school in NY together. After a bit of schmoozing, we went down the block to Burger King so I could have something to eat. After that we went to AAA, and I got a book and maps. We then went disk golfing. This is like golf, but you use Frisbee's instead of little balls. It was fun, and I a little walk and some sun. We came back and now I am writing, while Len went out to play some volleyball and visit his Mother. | ביום שני בבוקר, דנה לקחה אותי לשדה התעופה. הנסיעה לקחה זמן ארוך מהמצופה. כאשר הגעתי, מסרתי את המזוודה, עברתי בביטחון, והגעתי לשער העלייה למטוס בדיוק כאשר התחילו להעלות את הנוסעים הייתה לי בעיה קטנה בביטחון, מפני שהשם על כרטיס העלייה למטוס היה גדי והשם בדרכון הוא גד, אבל בסוף הם החליטו שזה בסדר. הטיסה עברה ללא ארועים מיוחדים. ישבתי בשורה 5, שזו השורה הראשונה במחלקת תיירים, ויוכלתי לראות כל מה שקורה במחלקה ראשונה כאשר הגעתי לפורטלנד, לקחתי את האוטובוס למגרש של חברת השכרת הרכב. נתנו לי יונדאי אקסנט. כאשר חיברתי את מערכת הניווט, ראיתי שמשהו לא בסדר. המערכת יכלה להראות לי את היעד ואת המיקום שלי, אבל לא איך להגיע מפה לשם. הייתי צריך לנווט בצורה הישנה. לקח קצת זמן, אבל הצלחתי להגיע לביותו של החבר שלי, לן. לן ואני למדנו יחד בתיכון בניו יורק. לאחר שדיברנו קצת, הלכנו לבורגר קינג השכונתי למלא קצת את הבטן. השלב הבא היה ביקור ב-AAA (המקביל האמריקאי לממסי) ולקחתי מפות וספר. לאחר מכם הלכנו לשחק דיסק גולף. זהו משחק דומה לגולף, אבל במקום כדורים משתמשים בצלחות מעופפות. היה נחמד, ועשיתי טיול קטן והייתי קצת בשמש. לן יצא שוב לשחק כדורעף ולבקר את אימו. אני נשארתי בבית לנוח. |

Rosh HaShana – ראש השנה
On Friday morning I drove with Dana to her place of work, and then took the car and drove back to the Hammermans, where my parents were staying. My parents were moving to another home for the weekend, so they took everything they needed and we were off. Our first stop was Dicks, where my dad got some shoes. My mom got some shoes and stuff for the grandkids. After lunch at Subway, we went to Borders, and then back to pick up my sister. She dropped us off in Caldwell, and we went for a walk. Our first stop was a farmers market. We got 2 tomatoes for $6. I guess farm fresh tomatoes are expensive. We sent home, and rested a bit before going to schull. We went to shcull and then went to the Hammermans for supper. On Shabbat (Rosh HaShana) we went to schull in the morning, and then to the Hammermans for lunch.

After Lunch we went home and had a nap. In the evening we went shopping and the to dinner at Olive Garden. | ביום שישי בבוקר, נסעתי עם דנה לעבודה שלה, ואז נסעתי למשפחת המרמן שם מתארחים ההורים שלי. הורי היו צריכים לעבור למקום אחר למשך סוף השבוע, אז הם לקח את מה שהם היו צריכים לסוף השבוע ונענו לסידורים. התחנה הראשונה הייתה חנות ספורט כדי שאבי יוכל לקנות נעליים. אמי קנתה נעליים ודברים לנכדות. לאחר ארוחת צהריים בסבוואי, נסענו לבורדרס (חנות ספרים) ואז חזרנו לאסוף את דנה בעבודה. היא הורידה אותנו בקולדוול והלכנו לטייל. התחנה הראשונה שלנו הייתה שוק איכרים. קנינו שתי עגבניות ב-6$. כנראה שעגבניות טריות הן מאוד יקרות. חזרנו הביתה, נחנו והלכנו לבית הכנסת לתפילת ערבית של ראש שנה. לאחר סיום התפילה, הלכנו למשפחת המרמן לארוחת ערב. בשבת (ראש השנה) הלכנו לבית הכנסת בבוקר ולאחר מכן למשפחת המרמן לארוחת צהריים. לאחר הארוחה, הלכנו למשחה נוספת שאחותי הכירה לביקור. הלכנו למשפחת המרמן לארוחת ערב. יום ראשון היה שידור חוזר של שבת. בבוקר הלכנו לבית הכנסת ולאחר מכן ארוחת צהריים אצל משפחת המרמן. לאחר ארוחת הצהרייםהלכנו הביתה למנוחה קצרה. בערב נסענו לעשות קניות ואחר כך ארוחת ערב במסעדת אוליב גרדן |

Travel to US – הנסיעה לארצות הברית
On Wednesday I left work at around 1 pm so I could get everything done. I went home and did a load of laundry. While the laundry was getting done, I took some food for Nochi to my parents' house. Nochi Came along to help. By the time we got back, the washing machine had finished. I transferred to clothes to the dryer, and started packing. At around 4:30 I took Nochi for a long walk, since it would be our last walk for a while. At around 5:30, I went over to Etti's to give her the key to my mail box so she could collect the mail. A bit later I took Nochi to his hotel. My next stop was the mall. I had something to eat, bought some last minute stuff and saw a movie, Ghosts of Girlfriends Past. The movie was very nice, and there were only three people in the theater. I got home around midnight, and watched TV till around 1:30 am. I took a shower and left for the airport at 2:15. I got to the airport at 3 am. It took me about half an hour to go through the whole procedure, checking, security and passport control. The flight to Rome was OK, and we arrived a bit early. After going through security again, I made my way to the gate for my flight Newark. Boarding was scheduled for 9:50, but only started at 10:30. and we took off about an hour late. The flight was long, and there was no movie, but other than that it was OK. We landed at Newark at 2:45, about half an hour late. Going through passport control was a breeze, but I had to wait a long time for my suitcase. I was selected for a extra special customs check (they check every 20th passenger), and then left the terminal. My parents picked me up, and we drove to Caldwell, where we met my sister Dana. She drove us to a local shopping are to have something to eat, and left to do her thing. We are at Pantera Bread, and then walked back to the Hammermans, where my parents are staying. Dana came back, and after schmoozing for a bit took me back to her place, where we got organized and went to sleep at around 10:30. I got up at 4:30 and then at 6. Jetlag strikes again | ביום רביעי יצאתי מהעבודה בשעה 1 בערך, כדי שאוכל לסיים את כל ההכנות לנסיעה. נסעתי הביתה והכנסתי בגדים למכונת הכביסה. בזמן שמכונת הכביסה עבדה לקחתי אוכל לנוחי לבית של ההורים. נוחי הצטרף אלי לעזור. עד שחזרנו, מכונת הכביסה סיימה והעברתי את הבגדים למיבש, והתחלתי לארוז. ב-4:30 בערך יצאתי לטיול ארוך עם נוחי, כי זה הטיול האחרון שנעשה ביחד בזמן הקרוב. בערך בשעה 5:30 הלכתי לאתי ונתתי לה מפתח לתיבת הדואר שלי כדי שהיא תוכל לאסוף לי את הדואר. לאחר מכן לקחתי את נוחי למלון שלו. התחנה הבאה שלי הייתה הקניון. אכלתי, קניתי דברים אחרונים לנסיעה ואיתי סרט בשם אקסיות לכול הרוחות. מאוד נהניתי מהסרט הגעתי הביתה בחצות, וראיתי טלוויזיה עד 1:30 בערך. התקלחתי ויצאתי לכיוון שדה התעופה בשעה 2:15. הגעתי לשדה התעופה בשעה 3. שלומי מהעבודה פגש אותי בכניסה למסוף, ולקח את הרכב. כל התהליך, רישום לטיסה, ביטחון וביקורת דרכונים לקח כחצי שעה הטיסה לרומא היתה בסדר והגענו קצת מוקדם אחרי בדיקה בטחונית נוספת, הלכתי לכיוון שער העליה למטוס לטיסה לניוארק העליה למטוס היתה אמורה להתחיל ב-9:50 אבל התחילה רק ב-10:30, והמראנו בשעה איחור. הטיסה היתה ארוכה (9 שעות) ולא היה סרט, אבל חוץ מזה היתה בסדר נחתנו בניוארק ב-2:45, בערך חצי שעה מאוחר. בקרת הדרכונים היתה מהירה, אבל חיכיתי הרבה זמן למזוודה שלי במכס, נבחרתי לבדיקה מיוחדת (הם בודקים כל נוסע 20) ואז יצאתי מהמסוף ההורים שלי אספו אותי ונסענו לקולדוול שם אחותי גרה. דנה הורידה אותנו באיזור קניות מקומי כדי שנאכל משהו והיא הלכה לעשות משהו. לאחר שאכלנו הלכנו ברגל חזרה לבית משפחת המרמן, שם מתארחים הורי דנה חזרה, ואחרי קצת דיבורים חחרנו היא ואני לדירה שלה הלכנו לישון בשעה 10:30 בערך התעוררתי בשעה 4:30 ואחרי זה ב-6 |
