NEW New Plan!
Blog: Half - 23 October 2009

This Week's LVW Col: Wynn Plays It Safe
Blog: VEGAS HAPPENS HERE - 22 October 2009
There was something odd about the Garth announcement. All the spectacle of it came from...Garth. Wynn was almost a bystander. That got me to thinking. And here's what I wrote for this week's "The Strip Sense" column in the Weekly. -sfBack to Basics -- And Garth!After lots of trial and error, Steve Wynn is playing it safeBy STEVE FRIESS

The Maine Event – Reaching 500 Breweries
Blog: thebeergeek.com - 21 October 2009
We gained three breweries on the first day in Maine leaving myself at 498 and Merideth at 495. We had five Portland breweries on our itinerary for Friday. Thus, if all went well, we both would reach 500 on the same day. How romantic! Our first stop on Friday was Maine’s newest brewery, Maine Beer Company. [...]

Love handles, Actually
Blog: Big City Blog - 21 October 2009
Today marks the one-month anniversary of my departure from Calgary, in search of a new adventure, a new beginning, and ultimately a new home. I am also in search of a new gym.A month of living (quite happily, I hasten to add) on restaurant food and occasional home-cooking with various relatives, interspersed with about 4 half-baked workouts and approximately 3 vegetables, has taken its toll. As I type the big words, I can feel the love handles moving ever so slightly.

Chowdah, Lobstah and Bee-ah
Blog: thebeergeek.com - 20 October 2009
Not sure why we started keeping track of the breweries we visit. It’s not like either of us are obsessive list freaks. But back in the early 90s, we decided after visiting a few dozen breweries to keep a list. The pace the first 15 years was a bit leisurely. In that time we visited [...]

Mediabistro Seminar: How To Pitch An Editor
Blog: GoBackpacking - 20 October 2009
A chance to write for AskMen.com about Medellin fell into my lap this past Spring, wholly the result of building a noticeable web presence through Medellin Living about what it’s like to live in Colombia as a foreigner. When I delivered, in spite of a very tight deadline, the managing editor suggested I pitch a [...]Buy travel insurance from Worldnomads.com (Lonely Planet's preferred carrier) No related posts.

A Visit to Castle Rock
Blog: Scouting NY - 20 October 2009
Nothing beats asking what you’re supposed to be scouting for, and being told: “Castles.” If you’ve ever driven along Route 9D in Garrison, New York, you may have seen it from the road: a fairy tale-like castle poking out from the trees at the top of a mountain: Built in 1881, Castle Rock was the estate of [...]

Travel Video – New York City Portrait (HD Time Lapse)
Blog: GoBackpacking - 17 October 2009
_ I was still in a New York state of mind when I picked out this week’s travel video. I love being able to see a place through a new perspective, and this time lapse of the city did just that for me. Amazingly, Max Moos shot all the footage during a 3-week stay in April 2006. If [...]Buy travel insurance from Worldnomads.com (Lonely Planet's preferred carrier) No related posts.

Florida’s Babcock Wilderness Proves Man and Nature Can Live in Harmony
Blog: Hole In The Donut - 17 October 2009
Trinkets and souvenirs rarely interest me when I travel, but I find it almost impossible to pass by a farm stand selling local honey. Each of the half dozen varieties lining my kitchen shelves has a particular use: a thick, full-bodied Blackberry honey from the Virginia hills is best drizzled ...

New York weekend getaways: 5 ideas to leave the city
Blog: 501 Places - 16 October 2009
New York has so much to offer that it's hard to imagine why you would want to leave it for a weekend. Indeed while living there we spent most of our weekends exploring different neighbourhoods and tasting a world of food in the city's endless stream of restaurants. There is however much to see away from the city, and on a number of occasions we decided to take a break and explore beyond the five boroughs. Here are a few suggestions of places that can be enjoyed as a day trip or even an overnight break from New York:

How to Enjoy a Weekend in New York City
Blog: Twenty-Something Travel - 15 October 2009
I used to think I didn’t like Manhattan. The advertisements plastered to every surface, the inescapable flashing lights and honking cars were just too much. And the people, the massive throngs of people pressing in on your from all sides while the skyscrapers loomed overhead. Doing things like shopping on Fifth Avenue, visiting the Empire [...]
