How to Take Great Vacation Photographs
Web Watch, like many of you, loves to take vacation photos. We all do it, in part, as a way to remember where we’ve been and seen, but also to capture those moments that we can later reflect upon as being relaxing, happy times with special someones.
Of course, as we review our own vacation photos, they mainly end up being about the food we ate rather than the places we went. C’est la vie.

Web Watch has worked in New York City. We’ve fought the crowds there, and frankly — rush hour there is absolutely everything you think it would be.
It’s crowded, it’s smelly – and the successful NYC commuters all have this “look”. The “don’t talk to me, don’t look at me, I’m not looking at you, get out of my way” look. Nobody is stopping to smell the roses or window shop or take a look around them at what some call the Most Amazing City In The World.
Nope, they’re too busy making sure that they don’t run into those tourists who wander New York City with their mouths agape, staring up at the tall buildings while they fumble their Kodak Instamatic disposable camera from their safe-and-secure fanny pack.

Nextville: Amazing Places to Live Your Life
Web Watch has lived in a number of places around the country, and visited dozens of other cities as well.
When we travel, we often ask ourselves the same question — when it comes time to retire, would this make a good place to live?
Or, more specifically – if our jobs allowed us to relocate anywhere in the country to work, where would be a good place to move to?
Well, MONEY magazine has compiled the TOP 100 BEST SMALL TOWNS TO LIVE IN AMERICA. These are all towns of less than 50,000 population. Here were the top ten:
Today’s challenge? How long would you be able to live in an apartment that was just 11′ long and 7′ wide?
That’s about 78 square feet total.
Do you think you could survive living there overnight? A week? How about a month?
Luke Clark Tyler doesn’t see it as a challenge at all — he’s doing it, and paying $750/month for the privilege of LIVING IN A SHOEBOX-SIZED APARTMENT IN NEW YORK CITY.

The Perfect Scoop: Ice Creams, Sorbets, Granitas…
As you know, Web Watch likes to travel quite a bit – and when we do, we make it a point to not eat at chain restaurants whenever possible.
No, we purposefully go out of our way to find the best places in town, places where the locals eat.
At times, we’ve done fairly well for ourselves – along with earning the respect of our travelling companions who would never in a million years end up eating where we end up.
So of course we’re going to have to visit each of the locations that FOOD & WINE have called AMERICA’S BEST ICE CREAM CITIES:
Web Watch likes staying at hotels, especially nice ones.
The rooms are typically clean, comfortable. Staff service is friendly and they go out of their way to make us feel welcome and safe when travelling in an unfamiliar city.
One recent hotel stay even had the front desk manager give us a complimentary bottle of wine when we checked in after the “complimentary wine hour” was over. Granted, while it was drinkable wine, it wasn’t anything overly high-end. Still, the thought was there and the wine was certainly enjoyed that evening. We’ll definitely be back to that hotel again.

46% of people surveyed will spend part of their vacation time doing work instead of actually enjoying their time off.
Web Watch knows how they feel – during one Vegas vacation, we spent two days in the hotel room overlooking the Bellagio fountains, compiling a PowerPoint presentation for our boss who didn’t understand the meaning of “hey, just because we brought a laptop with us doesn’t mean that we’re available to you 24 hours a day…. especially while we’re in Vegas.”
