The Westin Washington, D.C. City Center Review

The property, as I've mentioned, is unique to say the least. The bar, restaurants and lobby are all designed to leave you feeling like you're suspended on a separate lily pad. I found the the bar to be too small for the size of the hotel...

Poe’s Tavern Review – Sullivan’s Island, SC

2210 Middle St, Sullivans Island, SC $$ – Burgers, Tacos, Pub Food – $8-11 for entrees

If we’re driving to Sullivan’s for lunch or dinner, Jeffrey and I always vote for Taco Mamacita. But, wanting to try something new, we recently opted for Poe’s Tavern, just across the street. I’d never been, but I’d always heard such great things.

Named in honor of one of Sullivan’s Island’s famous residents, Edgar Allen Poe, Poe’s is a beachy restaurant just steps from the sand – a great place to meet up with friends after work or to fuel up after a long beach day.

How to Pack for a Weekend Getaway

Everyone loves a weekend getaway, but, when Thursday comes, I usually find myself a bit… shall we say, perplexed… over what to pack. I’m just staring into my closet thinking the ideas will come to me if I stare long enough.

The trickiest part about packing is where you’re headed. Does the weather match your hometown? If not, you may need to pull out your off-season stored clothes. What activities do you plan to do? If you’re planning a wide variety of activities – from shopping, to climbing a mountain, you’ll have to remember to pack accordingly.

While it’s all very elementary stuff, it can still be hard to squeeze [...]

The Club at ATL – Atlanta’s Newest (and best?) Lounge

Terminal F 5:30am to 9:30pm

If you’re looking for a great lounge to pass some time at the Nation’s Busiest Airport:  Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson Airport (no big deal, only about 260k people pass through everyday! About 20% more than runner-up Beijinng-PEK), might I suggest The Club at ATL.

As I’ve said before in this post (JFK Terminal 4 Lounges/The Oasis Lounge), which lounge I go to is often a function of which one will let me in. The Club at ATL is by far the least exclusive of all ATL lounges–to get in you’ll need to show some credentials, your choices include:

$35 cash for a day pass Priority Pass member card (free for AMEX [...]

The Killers – August 13, 2013 – Charleston, SC

When we heard that The Killers would be playing at the Family Circle Cup Stadium in Charleston, SC (our hometown), we figured why not check it out. Jeffrey is usually the one pumped for concerts, and I didn't know any songs by The Killers off the top of my head, so I arrived at the concert a little less enthusiastic than the girls walking around in "The Killers" T-shirts, to say the least.

Café Intermezzo Review – Atlanta Airport

Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport Concourse B Atlanta, GA 30320

I can get into a bad habit when I find a good restaurant. Especially when I only have an opportunity to eat there every so often. This is how I’ve been treating One Flew South, the awesome sushi restaurant at Atlanta’s Airport (ATL)–I have returned at every opportunity. But, this time, I forced myself to explore the other options and had read some good things about Café Intermezzo in Terminal B.

It’s half book store, half cafe-style restaurant, which results in an always-busy-feeling atmosphere and, in the land of Chilis, TGI Fridays and other typical chains, [...]
