By the Way

After much ado I finally got my Bali and Vietnam entries up here. Blogger takes a maddeningly long time to load photos, which partly accounts for the delay. But it was really because of me being preoccupied.

Yes, more updates will come - Macau, Hong Kong, and of course, an inventory of the crazy foods I ate. But for now, a request. Come July The Boy and I will be embarking on another adventure - this time together, finally. We're roadtripping to various locations in the northeastern US. Washington DC is definitely on the list. The rest is negotiable, although I certainly think Manhattan is in order. I'd also like to make a small beach getaway happen. I have in my mind the image of a small rented cottage in Massachusetts where we can spend a few days alone, riding bikes and having picnics and being the kind of cute couple that makes single people vomit in their mouths.

We're talking a very small budget here - most of the trip will involve couchsurfing and Amtrak, with a rental car here and there. If anybody knows of a good place to stay that isn't a 4-bedroom house costing $2000/week, I would love you forever. It doesn't have to be in Massachusetts, although I'm pretty stuck on the beach idea. There's just something so romantic and idyllic about shorebirds and sea breezes. It doesn't even have to be a building. Campgrounds will do the trick, too. I haven't discussed this with him, but any man of mine must be willing to sleep in a tent.

Any other recommendations are, of course, very welcome. The best entries win a postcard.
