5 Things to Do on a Travel Day
There isn’t anything in this world I would rather do than to see it all! But my least favorite part is the inconvenience of having to use a whole “vacation” day waiting around for a flight, a train, a bus or a boat. There isn’t enough time to go on a day trip in a [...]

Savannah: Homegrown American Pride
With everything going on in our country today, I felt it was time for some homegrown American pride. Savannah, Georgia, is the epitome of a true, All-American city.

Italian Strikes and Beautiful Montorosso
My mom is on strike. A laundry strike. It’s not as big of a deal to me now since I don’t live at home anymore, but both of my brothers’ laundry baskets are to the ceiling (well deserved). Here in the states, a strike usually has a lot of build up, then one day the [...]
