Day Hiking Connecticut: 5 Best Places to Hike in One Day

February 15, 2022 by Kylia Goodner1 Comment

Day Hiking Connecticut: Trout Brook Valley

I’ve traveled a lot around the United States, and I haven’t met a lot of people with Connecticut at the top of their must-see list. However, as a resident of Connecticut, and someone who has spent countless hours and hundreds of miles hiking, kayaking, and backpacking in more remote areas of the state, I truly believe Connecticut has a lot to offer anyone who loves the outdoors. Connecticut is a perfect location for day hiking because of its … [Read more...]

10 Reasons Why You Should Add Nantucket to Your Bucket List

January 20, 2022 by Danny DonchevLeave a Comment

The charming island of Nantucket can be reached by ferry and is located in the Atlantic Ocean, about 30 miles south of Cape Cod, Massachusetts. With its endless beaches, cobblestone streets, beautiful New England-style houses and cottages, and stunning wildlife and nature, the magical island is reminiscent of the Caribbean islands and destinations, so you won't even be able to tell that you are on the Atlantic. There are multiple reasons … [Read more...]

Warren, Ohio: A Weekend Getaway Back Thru Time!

October 5, 2017 by Jennifer MartinekLeave a Comment

In the State of Ohio, between Cleveland and Youngstown, sits the City of Warren.  Don't bother looking for it - you won't find it on any map. Unless, of course, your checking for the weather on the 6 o'clock news! After spending an afternoon in Warren, it's easy to see that there is so much more to this city than meets the eye. From the Packard museum to the Trumbull Art gallery, restaurants and bars, the Ampitheatre and Mosquito Lake State … [Read more...]

Eating Essentials in New Haven, CT

November 22, 2016 by Marianne Ruane2 Comments

I’m not a big fan of pizza. I like it well enough, but I had never had a pizza that I thought was extraordinary. There is one exception - I’m originally from Northeastern Pennsylvania and pizza from the town of Old Forge really is delicious. But with square cuts from a big rectangular crust, thick tomato sauce, and an American cheese blend, Old Forge pizza always seemed outside the realm of ordinary pizza, in its own category, at least in my … [Read more...]

Driving the Denali Highway

November 12, 2016 by Chris Picardi1 Comment

During our eight days in Alaska, I don't think we had a single bad view, and the Denali Highway was no exception. The 135 mile, mostly-unpaved road connects the town of Cantwell to Paxson and was once the only road providing access to Denali National Park. Due to harsh winter conditions, the road is closed from October through mid-May, but if you have the opportunity to drive this road during the summer months, it will not disappoint. If you … [Read more...]

New Haven: Mecca for Revolutionary War Fans

July 23, 2016 by Marianne RuaneLeave a Comment

Working as a tour guide in Philadelphia’s historic district, I must have become a little Pennsylvania-centric on my view of the American Revolution because I was absolutely stunned when I stumbled upon the Trumbull Room at the Yale University Art Gallery in New Haven, Connecticut. It was the thrill of unexpectedly running into dear acquaintances while on vacation – the familiar blue and yellow uniform in the painting of my favorite founding … [Read more...]

First Sweet Scent of Spring, Maple Syrup Season on Tap, Western Connecticut

February 22, 2016 by DaveLeave a Comment

The groundhog predicts an early spring this year, but even if he is wrong, one early sign of spring is certain. Fragrant plumes of steam rising from sugar shack chimneys throughout Western Connecticut always herald the arrival of maple syrup season, New England’s traditional signal that winter is on the way out. As soon as days are above freezing and the sap begins to run, the fascinating process begins: tapping the maple trees, collecting the … [Read more...]

What do Van Morrison, The Godfather of Punk, and Seamus Heaney have in Common?

March 5, 2014 by Richard BangsLeave a Comment

There is a theory of “primitive affluence” that suggests that when a society has its primary needs met by Nature...food, shelter, clothing…then it will turn to creativity. Bali, a tropical island in Indonesia where the rich volcanic soil produces an abundance of food and materials for fabrics and building, is held as an example. The trope is that “everyone in Bali is an artist.” Yet, while it is true that most everyone spends days carving, … [Read more...]

New York City is a place like no other. Rich in culture and buzzing with life, it’s the perfect holiday destination. Highlights include the Empire State Building, Ellis Island, the Statue of Liberty, Wall Street and Greenwich Village. However, if tourists are to make the most of their adventures in this metropolis, they need to do some planning. No trip to the Big Apple is complete without taking in the awe-inspiring and iconic Statue of … [Read more...]
