It’s that time of year when we start squaring off our summer plans. My summer is looking a bit more lax then usual. I have a bunch of trips I’m planning to take, but aside from a couple, I don’t have dates picked out yet. That’s partially by design. Last summer included 8 weddings, a

I’ve noted a few times this year how my travel style/weekend activities has changed a bit as I get older. I used to not care about where I stayed, and while I still very often just use a room as a place to crash, I do enjoy more and more finding interesting places to stay.
I used to begin every year with a list of travel/weekend fun related New Year’s Resolutions, and then end the subsequent year going over each one to see if it was a success or a failure. This was stupid for a couple of reasons. I almost always had too lofty of expectations, and realistically was setting
Last week we had a discussion of underrated places to visit, things to do, shows to binge, and even one very underrated Christmas album (that I hope you’ve all sampled). We’re going to turn the tables today and discuss places, things, shows, and assorted other I feel are overrated. Now, mind you, overrated does not
You know what’s a great word to describe our wonderful Keystone State? Underrated. You never see Pennsylvania topping any “best of” or “must see” lists, but it’s never at the bottom either.

Over the past year or so, Thrillist has become one of the sites I check daily. It started because it had great travel articles, but what really gave it the boost is the way their food and beer writers are able to exist in a plane that’s almost the exact spot between high and low
I spent Memorial Day weekend out in Colorado– Boulder, and nearby Estes Park, to be exact. This was my first time “out west” so to speak (Vegas is a pseudo-fictionalized adult playground and does not count), and I was impressed. I don’t think we went anywhere that wasn’t gorgeous; everything looked fake, in the best
It’s on to Part 2 of my New Year’s resolutions. And you know what? I’m already off to a solid start. Last weekend I trotted out my snowshoes, and I have XC ski plans for next weekend already, as well as curling and Lake Placid in February. I’m pretty much already doing better than I
So because every single year I do a recap of my New Year’s Resolutions and every year it’s an exercise in disappointment, I’m going to scale it down a bit this year and keep it completely reasonable, keeping in mind my actual budget (not what I wish my budget would be), the amount of time
Every new year I make a list of things I’d like to accomplish for the new years (obviously these are all travel/leisure/blogging based-even though I am striving to eat more fruits and vegetables and vowing to curtail buying rounds of drinks for semi-acquaintances you won’t be reading about them here). Every year before posting these
