(gif is irrelevant)
I will no longer be continuing to post on Beers & Bananas. This really grinds my gears since I just dropped like 30 whole American dollars on some bomb business cards that specifically state that I write on a blog call Beers & Bananas.
Time is the major concern here, because I don’t have enough of it. I blog for work, I blog on my personal Tumblr, and I blog...

australia: outlet converters and a dig.
I have the worst luck when it comes to buying outlet converters.
No matter what country I’m in, or how much money I spend on these things, they never work. This is not conducive to my internet junkie/hair obsessive needs. I remember dropping an ungodly amount of money on a fancy looking converter before my first big trip to Australia, and upon plugging in my hair dryer the day after we...

I’ve been really into interior design lately, which should come as no surprise to anyone who knows me. I re-arrange my room twice a year, I obsessively make collages of pictures from the “Living” section of Real Simple, and I’ve been known to go buck wild in Home Goods. Remember that MTV show Room Raiders? That was my jam. I loved how the contestants could tell so much...

Fiji: Me vs. Beetlejuice Snake, Part Two
EDIT: Don’t remember Part One? It’s okay, I didn’t either! (Really though, I wrote the first part in February. What was that, like six months ago or something? SHEESH)
So let’s review.
Here’s me in Fiji, snorkeling for the first-time ever with the fishes and doin’ the damn thing:
“OMG WISH I COULD BE PART OF YOUR WORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRLD”

Boston Bits: 'Arabia' at the Museum of Science
Last Sunday, I went to play (I mean, learn) at the Museum of Science in Boston. Of course I love being educated about porcupine claws, thunderstorms, body heat and all that other fun stuff, but I was really there to see Arabia, an IMAX travel documentary at the Omni Theater. A few months ago, I happened to accidentally land on FOX News during an intense channel surfing session and they were...

Two Coast Table: The Best Arancini in Boston pt.... →
I have talked about my obsession with arancini before, but I have decided to take it to an all new level. My friend Alison & I have compiled an amazing list of restaurants that serve arancini in the Boston area (some outside of Boston…road trip!). We plan on eating our way through that list to…

Boston Bits: Free Lunch at Turner Fisheries
I love the word “free.” Also the word, “lunch.” When put together, it’s like music to my ears. Get Facebook involved, and the whole thing starts to resemble a nerdy dream I once had.
During the last week in March, The Westin Copley Place had an exclusive deal reserved only for their fans on Facebook. To celebrate the re-launch of the lunch menu at Turner Fisheries,...

Top 5 Things I Learned In Miami
It’s been about a month since I got back from Florida, and I’m still talking about it. Since you’re probably sick of me and my Sunshine State ramblings (haha, jokes! I know that’s not possible), you’ll be happy to know that this is my big wrap-up blog post. So, without further ado, here’s my list of the Top 5 Things I Learned In Miami:
1. Trying to rent a car...

Miami (Day Four): In Which We Make Jet Skiing Look...
I love jet skiing. I hopped on one for the first time when I was 16 and was forever changed. We go together like peanut butter and jelly, Laverne and Shirley, Lil’ Wayne and obscene face tattoos. It’s love at it’s purest.
Plus, can you even think about the city of Miami without thinking about jet skiing? How many images of Will Smith, Don Johnson and Rosie O’Donnell...

Miami (Day Three): In Which Our Lives Turn Into A...
Guys, a lot of important events happened on Day Three in Miami.
I bought green shades that perfectly matched my green nail polish.
Eleanor and I kicked little children out of a playground so that we could use the swings (hey, I never said we were role models).
We ate really rancid Mexican food on Espanola Way, a historic Spanish village that has some really lovely boutiques and restaurants,...

Miami, Day Two: In Which We Quack At Strangers
If you read my last post, you already know that Eleanor and I spent Day One trying not kill ourselves in Reagan National Airport (success!), and ended the day by going to sleep at 10 pm in our hotel room, snuggled up in our plastic-covered bed (cozy!).
Well, I think we made up for our lameness on Day Two. And if we didn’t, then God help us because we tried really, really hard at not...

In Which We Take Miami - Day One
It was a snowy, bleak January day in Boston, and two young girls were aimlessly gchatting each other about the activities of the Kardashians and about how delicious banana pancakes are. Suddenly and without warning, the following conversation occurred (I am copy and pasting verbatim):
Me: when do you want to go to Miami?
Eleanor: letssee i will grab my calendar
sooo anytime in march? orr late...

An Afternoon at the Boston Globe Travel Show
I’d like to confess something to all five of you who are reading this right now: I had no idea what a “travel show” was when I purchased my ticket to this event a few months ago. “Showing” travel could mean so many things. Memories of my family breaking out the ol’ projector at Christmas and playing films of vacations that took place around the same time that man first walked on the...
