I woke up Monday morning wondering whether or not I’d be a Facebook status, the latest meme or some other form of viral sensation. My buddy Eric and I had done a pedicycle bar crawl in Philly the day before with Big Red Pedal Tours and I can’t remember the last time so many people (that I

September is almost always a lull for me. It’s the first month back to work which always leaves me exhausted, so exhausted that instead of getting out of work on Friday and rushing headfirst into the weekend I sometimes find myself in bed and completely zonked out by 8 or 9. I’m also usually pretty broke by
A few weeks ago my cousin texted me to say he was in Portland Maine and that I should write about it for one of the weekend trip ideas. I said great send me some pictures and he did not, mainly because he’s a dick, so here we have this pictureless Portland post. Portland, a city
If you couldn’t tell already, I’m a big fan of Lake Placid. I was just there in February and visited in January a year before that. While the success of the previous trip has me already planning a return trip this winter, Lake Placid and the surrounding Adirondack High Peaks would make for a great summer
If you read this blog at all you’re well aware that I recently returned from a week long trip to Iceland. It was an amazing experience, whose success I partially attribute to where we stayed: Reykjavik Backpacker’s hostel. There were a number of reasons why staying in a hostel rather than a hotel enhanced our
If I had to pick, Sunday was my favorite day in Iceland. Since we didn’t actually make it to bed till early Sunday morning we woke up a little after noon. We’d talked the day before and decided that if possible we’d rent a car and get out of Reykjavik to find some hot springs. Budget rent a
I first heard of, what I’m going to dub “Grab-bag Weekend Trips” in the book Die Happy: 499 Things Every Guys Gotta Do While He Still Can, which I highly recommend any guy (and girl) who enjoys planning fun weekend stuff, like I do, to purchase. You can get it here. A grab bag weekend
It’s worth noting that I woke up around 6:30 Saturday morning to use the bathroom. As I was exiting the hostel room, one of our dorm mates was coming in from his Friday night out. Reykjavik nightlife really is that intense. I’d experience this first hand soon enough. I figured I felt fine during my
If you read my Iceland itinerary , Friday was one of the two days we didn’t have already planned out. We’d decided while out on our Thursday night bar crawl that we’d wake up early \and catch an 8:20 bus to the Reykjavik suburbs in order to hike Mt. Esja. Our first night in Iceland was
Thursday Our Icelandic adventure began with an 11:40 red eye out of JKF on Wednesday night. The flight was approximately 4.5 hours long and we landed in the international airport in Keflavik around 8:40, an hour before schedule. I have to say, landing in Iceland was a little anticlimactic. I guess it was naïve to expect towering mountains, geysers, and hot
