Time is ticking....

Montauk
The first stop in the Hamptons was the very tip of Long Island (to avoid traffic) - fabled Montauk. An old surf town, Montauk has really become the 'cool' young hang-out of the Hamptons with the best beaches and a laid back feeling in contrast to the other areas. The coolest place to hang out is the charming 'Surf Lodge'. The vibe here reminded...

Some could barely be called cars as they were merely the first motorized vehicles that looked a lot like bicycles to me. This has happened numerous times, oddly enough: I visit a house museum only to...

Mondrian Hotel, LA
While in LA last month, we stayed at the Mondrian Hotel on the Sunset Boulevard strip in West Hollywood. While alarmingly trendy and popular a few years ago, the hotel has calmed down (a bit) and was a comfortable and pleasant place to stay. The lobby featured this fun lounge area and bar off to the side of the entrance. The hotel was originally...
