Moonshine Alley, Providence, RI USA

Providence is a very easy drive from Boston, as long as you’re not leaving between 4 and 6pm. I had the pleasure of teaching a class on new technologies for tourism and hospitality marketing, which meant an easy drive down in the morning, coffee in hand. On such a gorgeous early spring day, it was […]

Waikiki Grass Shack Bistro, Honolulu, HI USA

My 3rd business trip to Hawaii, I took the nonstop flight from Boston (again). Depart at 8am, and you’re on the beach by 2pm, super easy. This would be my 6th time in Waikiki specifically – a destination I always enjoy, and one that is perhaps the best “urban beach” in the world. I want […]

Top of the Block, Burlington, VT USA

Burlington – how lucky we were to be visiting in mid June. Quiet, quaint, and quintessential New England. I loved it here. A breath of fresh air, literally and figuratively. Lunchtime at TTRA would require me sitting in front of a computer working, sadly. Rather than peruse the limited in room dining menu at the […]
