How I’d spend three days in Nashville, including the shows worth booking ahead and a day trip to nearby Franklin. My first Nashville trip was mostly bar hopping. I had a perfectly fine time, but I didn’t leave loving the city or thinking about when I could come back. This trip changed that. I spent…

Thinking about a trip to Chicago? You’re in for incredible food, beautiful lake views, and that lively city pace that makes it hard to sit still. From taking an architecture cruise on the river to catching a show at The Second City or digging into a slice of deep dish, Chicago delivers a little bit…
