One of the problems I always have when planning some of the bigger trips is the ever present dilemma of doing versus seeing. Allow me to elaborate while also showing off how international I am. My past two “big” trips were Ireland and Iceland. I was in Ireland for a little bit over two weeks and for that

Downtown Lancaster is a lovely place to walk around (sidenote: when did I start using the word “lovely” to describe things?). There’s Central Market, plenty of shops and restaurants and enough bars to some damage. If you’re wandering down East King street, just past the Marriott, you’ll encounter Tellus 360, a sprawling storefront complex that
It’s a underlying theme in my writing that I don’t give western Pennsylvania that much love, mostly because it’s an area I’m unfamiliar with. To help try and rectify this, this week’s “Weekend Trip Idea” is Erie, PA. I feel like I literally never hear anything about it, but Erie is the 4th largest city in
Like it or not winter is coming, so it’s time to get prepared. My friends and I have started to plan our annual pilgrimage to Lake Placid, for our annual “winter fun” trip. This will be our third year going and honestly I’m in love with the town and area. It’s got everything I look
Well, it’s getting well into October which means it’s time to start Halloween planning.

They’ve been pointing out that after Labor Day the crowds abruptly disappear but since the weather hasn’t made the full fall transition
Pennsylvania is a great travel destination. You can’t beat its geography (mountains, forests, rivers, lakes, canyons, caverns) or its location (New York, the Jersey shore, Boston, Baltimore and DC all within a few hours drive). It gets a full dose of every season and historically speaking, it has one of the most colored and storied
You’re in for a little self-reflection today. I’ve recently realized that for someone who writes a blog, sometimes I’m awful at taking pictures. I’m not sure whether I’m mad about this or not. This came to light in the wake of my Iceland trip. I was showing the pictures to some relatives when someone said, “did you see anybody
So you might be reading this and thinking something along the lines of, “A weekend in Vegas? Is that feasible? Is it logical? If I fly, shouldn’t I go for longer?” My answers, in short, are yes, yes, yes and a resounding no. While Vegas has a reputation for being flashy, it’s also known for its budget
I’m actually embarrassed for how long it took me to write this post. My excuse is that it’s the start of the school year and that always brings about a lot of extra work. I forget every year how time consuming grading papers is. I’m also going to shamelessly self promote myself here. I’ve gotten the
