Countrier Than Colts Neck???

First and foremost I hope everyone had a fun and relaxing holiday weekend. I’m sure it is always fun to get to see the fireworks and spend time with family and friends.

I am back to work and actually need a vacation from my recent mini-vacation.

My clients whom I absolutely adore invited me over to their home for a pre-4th of July BBQ.

They were leaving the next day for Costa Rica and wanted to talk with me prior to their departure.

Little did I imagine that the reason behind the invite was to convince me to take full advantage of their vacation home that is located in the Poconos.

THE POCONOS”? I thought to myself. I can honestly say I don’t ever recall going to the Poconos and actually had no desire to go.

I must not have a very good poker face because the wife immediately stated  “Oh Sarah, you are going to LOVE it”!

Before I could respond with some excuse, I had a key in one hand and a list of instructions in the other and off I was.

A few days later and 3 hours after I started my adventure, I reached Hemlock Farms , a premier gated community.

Nice! I thought as I pulled into the 4500 acre compound.

Suddenly I heard my navigation state something that it had never said before, “Turn by turn guidance can not be provided at this time”.

CIMG2198Were we so far away from civilization that the satellite couldn’t pin point our destination? A place countrier than Colts Neck?

The answer was YES!

 If the satellite didn’t know were we were, how would the police find me if something happened?

The normal person would find that exciting and I actually do too but when you come from a cultural family like mine, all that kept reverberating in my head was my mother stating  in her broken English “She had to go”, “She just couldn’t stay put”.

No doubt this was high-end camping but it was still camping none the less, Plus the bears and yes there were bears in the backyard, didn’t help put my mind to ease.

The home was actually very adorable. My clients purchased the home fully furnished and each room was typical of the Pocono lifestyle.

As I sat in the backyard contemplating the universe and enjoying the breathtaking scenery I had to admit that it was worth the trip.
