Twenty-Four Hours in Baltimore, As I Would Have You Spend Them
You have asked me, dear reader, how one ought to pass a day in Baltimore, the city that claimed me in life, and more permanently, in death. I confess I find the question amusing, for I was never a man who kept regular hours, nor one inclined toward sunlight when a good shadow was available. And yet, if you insist upon a schedule, I shall give you one. Follow me, if you dare, from the hour before dawn until the bells of Westminster toll again at midnight.

Fuck it, I'm going to Hogwarts
I'm gonna be honest with you. You've asked me to take you on a trip to spend a perfect 24 hours together in a place I know well. I'm a mom of three. Do you know the current state of the economy? I'm not travelling anywhere... and anywhere I've been sure the fuck doesn't feel like the perfect way to spend 24 hours. If that's the case, I'm going to have to submit a blank page. The real world is exhausting. It's endless traffic, crap weather, and everything is too expensive. I can't think of a single real place that's worth writing a story about.

24 hours in Paradise. Runner-Up in Twenty-Four Hours Challenge.
Some places you visit, some you love, and some feel like home. For me, Honolulu is one of those rare places. If I had just twenty-four hours to create the perfect day in paradise, I would not waste a minute. I would want to experience Honolulu as I know it best, not as a tourist rushing from one attraction to another, but as someone who understands that Hawaii's magic is often found in the little moments between the big ones.

Dollywood's Mine Horror
As someone who grew up constantly visiting Dollywood park while everyone else went to Disney and Universal, I saw all the rides coming in and out of the area for years. Love it there, but the one disappointment I have is the park not having a Halloween like Universal or Six Flags, only a fall festival. They are a place that doesn't advertise to only children like Disney, so I don't personally understand why they don't have haunted house attractions and set ups there.

A Day in...Hamilton?. Honorable Mention in Twenty-Four Hours Challenge.
You don’t go to Hamilton; you end up there. I looked over the notes for this Challenge, and I realized that I would have to choose a place that I know too well. Tokyo was a temptation, as was the East End of London, Queens, New York, and a place called Ontario, California (strange to know that there is another Ontario out there). But no, I had to pick something close to me; a place that I cannot escape from.

A day off work done right
Alone with my thoughts—that's all I need, and it's all anyone really needs. It's a human experience, and it's pure bliss. Whether it's a trip to the beach or treating yourself to a day out at a nice café, everyone is entitled to a "you day"-a day dedicated solely to you and your thoughts.

Twenty-Four Hours in Rocky Mountain National Park
At 5:10 a.m., Rocky Mountain National Park belongs to the elk, the marmots, and the people willing to leave a warm bed before dawn. The gates at the eastern side of the park open a landscape that changes by the mile, climbing from ponderosa pine forests toward the high country where the Continental Divide cuts across the horizon. For one perfect day, I would begin in Estes Park, with a full tank of gas, a thermos of coffee, and enough time to let the mountains set the schedule.

"There Are Wolves Up There!"
My professor friend K and I went for a hike to the mountains around the town of Mestia in Svaneti, the highest region in Georgia. We wanted to see the Koruldi Lakes near the glacier at the foot of the two-peak Ushba mountain of the Greater Caucasus Range separating Georgia and Russia.

A Day In Settle
Introduction Settle is a favourite holiday haunt of ours. The first time we stayed we brought a car. It was parked, and it never moved til we left. Since then we have stayed for a week or two each year, getting there by train from Newcastle to Carlisle, then Carlisle to Settle over the Ribblehead Viaduct.

Twenty-Four Hours in Arlington, Texas. Honorable Mention in Twenty-Four Hours Challenge.
They say that everything is bigger in Texas. That saying is still true and holds up today. For those that aren't familiar of who I am, I grew up in Arlington, which is west of Dallas. I've always spoke very fondly of where I came from and the things I loved the most about it. In the town of nearly 400,000 residents, growing up in a large city meant that places were easy to find. Arlington is the home of two professional sports teams: Major League Baseball's Texas Rangers and the National Football League's Dallas Cowboys. Their respective stadiums are basically located close to each other. I've been a fan of both teams for decades and continue to support them, win or lose. Back in February, I took a vacation to my hometown for the first time in nearly 15 years. It was an overdue homecoming for me and spent two days down there. On the second and last day of my trip, I took part in a premium stadium tour of Globe Life Field, the home of the Texas Rangers, with a group of people. It was my first time visiting this enormous ballpark. The tour lasted for an hour and a half and for the final half hour, we were led by a tour guide to the field. Kids had an opportunity to play catch, while I admired the field. Stepping foot on an MLB field was a first for me and knocked that item off my bucket list, and yes, I took pictures of the field. Since then, I've gone back home for the second time for Memorial Day weekend, spending three days there. The following is a list of things I would do in Arlington for 24 hours.
