Why in God’s Name am I in Portland, Maine for Valentine’s Day?

Welcome to Kennebunkport Sign

I can’t believe I only got 2 hours of sleep last night and still managed to stay awake for a 350 mile journey to Portland, Maine, and even got in an hour of sightseeing in Kennebunkport on top of that too. I took a stroll in Kennebunkport’s Dock Square, saw the Bush Compound, had pizza…

A Nor’ Easter of a Trip!

Tomorrow morning I rise bright eyed and bushy tailed (maybe) for a trip to three New England states: Maine, New Hampshire and Massachusetts.

A Gluten Free Day In The City

Beautiful, Blonde Girl Next to Subway

Bailey of Makeover Momma was visiting Manhattan today for a Redbook Magazine photoshoot, finally giving me the chance (and the excuse) to get back into Manhattan even after a series of brutal snowstorms kept me away.

How to avoid driving into a new city only to walk out with nothing but your birthday suit

One of the important things I need to learn about the cities I’m visiting this fall is where the bad areas are generally located, that way I can easily circumvent them altogether and go on to enjoy the better areas of town for funsies and tasty foodsies. After all, I rather doubt any traveler likes…

A Whrrly Weekend at Lake George

Last weekend wasn’t really meant to be a getaway, just an excuse to get my ride to a service center that wouldn’t rip me off, then take a short trip to Lake George in the Adirondacks for the weekend rather than jet 200 miles back home. One thing I’ve learned from this trip: don’t go…
