I grew up in Hershey but we lived in Palmyra prior to moving to Orlando. I usually say Hershey too though :) We go back and visit about 2 or 3 times a year - lucky for us we are both teachers so we have the time off.
I'm glad we moved now but it took me some time, it got better once we had a house here and started making friends. I sometimes still miss the small town feeling of Hershey/Palmyra and the season change. We live in Avalon Park, it has a nice small town feeling where you can walk to restaurants...
Hi, I don't know much about Winter Garden but my husband and I are also transplants from Hershey. We live in East Orlando about 40 minutes from Cocoa Beach and about 40 minutes from Disney. Good luck in your search!
We moved here 3 months ago as well - from PA. It's been an adjustment but the family is enjoying it. I love going to the parks on the weekends! We're in the Avalon Park area.
What people don't understand about this school is that is completely free to the students. Parents/families bear no financial responsibility. The school pays all medical, vision, and dental bills. The school pays for all food and clothing. Furthermore, they cannot accept every student that...
My husband is currently a student. He entered a post bachelor teacher cert program. He should be done at the end of the year :yay: I refer to myself as his guidance counselor - generally taking care of financial aid and what not. We've been trying to pay out of pocket but one semester he took...
I thought this explained our tax system well....
TAX CUTS EXPLAINED:
Because it's the election season, let's put tax cuts in terms everyone can understand.
Suppose that every day, ten men go out for beer and the
bill for all ten comes to $100. If they paid their bill
the way we pay our...
I am curious as to why pro-choicer's use the argument that they don't want the government telling them what they can and can't do with their bodies however, they'll gladly give their taxes to the government and let them decide what to do with their money and control other aspects of their life...
Not trying to get flamed. My husband sold time shares at one time and every time someone comes in for the free gift your just wasting their time. I know it's nice to get gifts but someone else's paycheck depends on the sale. Unfortunately when someone backs out of a deal the salesperson also...
I just saw inflatable bedrails for travelling. I will need something because my daughter wakes up and screams every time I try to lay her in a crib or pack-n-play. Both of my kids prefer sleeping in bed over their crib.
Wow, I'm surprised at the response about Bedford...My Dad grew up in Blairsville, PA and Bedford was where we took our bathroom breaks because it was a little more than half way between Hershey and Blairsville...Sorry I don't have much to add about the town itself. Madduck my husband is also...
I'm not exactly sure what the HD paint chips look like but, I have a Mickey Head paper punch that makes Mickey Heads in any color...I bought it for scrapbooking my Disney vacations.
I couldn't agree more with CastleCreations. We took it down in August 06 and cancelled are return home trip in order to drive. We had a family bedroom that was extremely small. The ride was very bumpy. I was 4 months pregnant and felt the bumping on the train was worse than any rides at...
I have a Pontiac Vibe pretty much the same car as a Matrix. We really like it and it seems much roomier than the Corolla as we used to have a Prizm Chevy's version of the Corolla. We have even driven to Disney in it 3 times from PA. Although we only had one child at that time.
We've driven from PA several times (hbg area) because my DH will not fly. We have also taken the auto train which leaves VA at 4pm and arrives in FL at 8am the following morning. Personally I don't think the drive is bad. My son sleeps a lot in the car hopefully, his new baby sis will be the...
