    jetsetters: uncle bill of ocean city magazine

    Today we have a little treat for you, readers: our featured Jetsetter happens to be related to the wino! And where there’s a wino, there comes many a free spirits to follow. In this case, that free spirit is her Uncle Bill, editor and everyman of Ocean City Magazine. If the wino gets her blonde hair and good looks from AP, she gets her sense of adventure (and desire to put it down in writing) from her Uncle Bill. In his twenties, he acted the part of the wino’s young, impossibly cool uncle, joining the Marine Corps and taking off to…

    Hmm forced convo with a stranger vs. the possibility that everyone thinks you’re a weirdo spinster with 15 cats stashed in your luggage. Since we doubt anyone is ever thinking the latter, we’d probs just dine alone. Hate dining solo? Site offers a solution Impressive list!

To be honest, I don’t really like baseball, but I do like cute boys (here’s looking at you, Jayson Werth) and I certainly like hotdogs, so when I unexpectedly got the day off from babysitting on Saturday,…

    travel therapy

    After a four-day weekend relaxing in sunny Bucks County, I’m having a more difficult time than normal adjusting back to my routine in Rockville. Maybe its the unseasonably warm weather (90 degrees in DC yesterday??) or the proximity to summer, and thus vacations? Whatever it is, I have a case of ants-in-the-pants that just won’t go away! And while plenty of people are well acquainted with retail therapy, I personally prefer travel therapy. The best way to deal with my impatience? Laying out a few impending travel plans on this here trusty travel blog, but of course. I know you’re…
