IT’s Fishy
Posted by Emily King on May 31, 2007 As much as we like food, IT tries to stay healthy. Each day for lunch, Jessie sticks to vegetarian concoctions of chickpeas and spinach, while Emily generally fills up on $4 salads from the NGS cafeteria. We do this so that when we travel, we can eat what we want—be it cheesy tacos or key…
Ode to Cologne
Posted by Emily King on May 22, 2007 Just like our mothership, IT sometimes lets stories gestate for a while. Or, at least that’s our excuse for why Emily is only now—nine months after her return—birthing details about her trip to Cologne. Without further ado, she writes: For phobics, one take-off is significantly better than two. Thus, when I found out I could…
San Antonio Sandbar
Posted by Emily King on May 15, 2007 IT constantly craves Tex-Mex, and until recently, we never knew that too many tacos, burritos, and beans—smothered in cheese and salsa—(and washed down with several frosty margaritas) could ever be a bad thing. But after several days of such gluttonous eating in San Antonio, Emily had an epiphany (er, stomachache) and ushered her still-hungry family…
Topflight Memorial
Posted by Emily King on January 11, 2007 Even though our offices are only a few blocks from the White House, IT often forgets it lives in such a tourist mecca. On a recent Saturday—with help from her sight-seeking family—Emily King ventured past the Potomac to visit the newest addition to D.C.’s myriad of monuments (now one of her favorites): the United States…
The Accident-Prone Tourist
Posted by Emily King on October 10, 2006 Emily King, assistant to Traveler‘s editor in chief, recently returned from a week abroad with a confession to make: I thought I was a smart traveler. As a staff member at a well-regarded travel magazine, I figured I’d absorbed the savvy sense I read and write about daily. But no. I was sent into the…
Boston IT Party
Posted by Emily King on September 28, 2006 To maintain IT’s jet-setting reputation, co-editor Emily King recently took a weekend jaunt to Boston. She writes: I’ve visited Boston twice. I’ve been to Faneuil Hall, seen the Paul Revere House, visited the graves of John Hancock and Samuel Adams, and learned about the Boston Tea Party from tour guides. This time, though, I made…
IT Travels with Emily King
Posted by Emily King on August 24, 2006 Having overdosed on D.C.’s concrete and humidity, IT’s coeditor Emily King used her vacation days to detox in the West. She spent most of the time at home in Ogden, Utah, but convinced her loving parents to take her on a road trip like the old days. Emily’s back and refreshed. She rambles to IT…
Somewhere Beyond the Sea
Posted by Emily King on June 29, 2006 IT’s been itching to go somewhere, again, so when we heard about the Crown Princess, Emily bused up to New York for a sneak peak of the Princess cruise line’s newest vessel. She reports: The middle of nowhere is aptly named, but it’s prettier than I expected: serene, silvery waters brushed with a slight breeze…
