While doing some research trying to find the perfect meeting point between New Jersey + Massachusetts for my family, you might assume it’s somewhere purely practical like Bridgeport, Connecticut, which technically sits right in the middle. But in reality, most families (mine included) skip the exact midpoint in favor of somewhere a little more special. That’s where the Hudson Valley + Catskills come in....enjoy my CATSKILLS, NY TRAVEL GUIDE here!

Since having my first surgery (which you can read about here ) to remove an osteoma from my head, I’ve learned that a little preparation can make a big difference in both your hospital stay + recovery at home. Before going in, I spent time putting together a hospital bag + gathering a few items I thought might make recovery easier.
