A mile long and 2 blocks wide, so you’re never more than a block from salt water-that’s Dewey Beach Delaware, perhaps the skinniest town ever! You can walk to the rambunctious Atlantic Ocean or the more tranquil Rehoboth Bay in just a couple of minutes from anywhere in town. You can’t get much closer to the sea without actually being on a boat.
If you prefer to travel north or south along the coast, the good time Jolley Trolley will get you there in beach style. This inexpensive shuttle service operates on a regular schedule throughout the summer months and is a popular way to get safely from home along Highway 1 where the boisterous nightlife often spills out into the streets.

A visit to Durango will give you a big juicy taste of everything I love about Colorado. Like all of my favorite places in the Rockies, it’s a relatively small town full of people who really enjoy living there. In fact, most of them know they could make more money and live more cheaply elsewhere, but they just can’t bear the thought of leaving. Why? Here are just a few of the reasons:
Durango is rimmed by glorious mountains and boasts its own world-class ski hill, Durango Mountain Resort, also know as Purgatory. It offers everything from never-ever lessons to off piste snowcat skiing and snowboarding in a family friendly atmosphere.

Sometimes, when I tell people I’m a travel writer, they ask if I studied journalism in college.
“No,” I answer. “I didn’t.” And I’m not really a journalist either. Journalism is a noble profession, but as a species of writing it’s sometimes hamstrung by its own rulebook.

The historic village of Chester, NJ is located just 20 minutes from Morristown and features a plethora of shops and eateries conveniently located along the main street of the village. This is an excellent vacation for those of you who like to browse shops and visit small galleries, along with soaking up some revolutionary war erahistory.
Originally known as “Black River,” Chester was established in the early 1700’s along a network of dirt indian trails barely wide enough for a lone horseman that criss-crossed the densely wooded areas of New England. It was by these trails that a group of adventurous settlers from Southold and Easthampton, Long Island, first came to the green hills of Morris County. Two of those trails converged in the area that the Minisink Indians called “Almatunk,” ???black earth bottom??? for Black River - hence the original name of Black River.
