No new post this week, as I’ve been on some much needed downtime with family, doing college prep with my oldest daughter, and getting ready for my new job. I’ll be back next week with new musings, thoughts, and observations on the world of food, travel, and my close encounters with everyday life. See you next week!
The Hagerstown Regional Airport has been in the news a lot recently, most notably due to Allegiant Air (the only large jet service operating out of the airport) now offering direct flights to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. This makes three direct destinations for the airline out of the Hub City, which now offers round trip flights to Orlando (Sanford), Tampa Bay (St. Pete/Clearwater), and as of June 6th, 2019 – Myrtle Beach.

Ahhhh, 2019 is here at last. A new year, a new beginning, right? Time to make all of those resolutions and promises to ourselves on how THIS is the year we’ll do better in some aspect of our lives, right?

Christmas at the Roundhouse (Hagerstown, MD) This annual exhibit features the “Trains of…
Pounding out three blog entries a week since early July takes a toll on the old creative juices. I appreciate the discipline it has instilled in my writing, but none the less – all work and no play makes Jack a dull writer, as it were. I’ll be taking a few weeks off until the New Year to recharge my batteries. I hope each of you also has the chance to take some down time during the holidays to spend…
