A Day in Tbilisi, Georgia. Winner in Twenty-Four Hours Challenge. Top Story - September 2026.
Hello my dear friend, I am so excited you will be visiting me in Tbilisi! It's too bad it's just a 24-hour layover but I am happy to host you and show you the city I came to love so much. I promise to make this day enjoyable and educational for you.

A peaceful day in Nice.. Honorable Mention in Twenty-Four Hours Challenge.
Midnight. I should probably go to sleep but I can’t take my eyes off of the sky. That’s how I am spending every evening of each day during my yearly holiday in Nice. And I just learnt a new constellation. Swan.

Twenty-Four Hours in Brocas-les-Forges
The perfect twenty-four hours in Brocas-les-Forges would begin before the village properly wakes. Not because there is something spectacular to see at six in the morning, but because this is exactly the kind of place where the ordinary becomes clearer when almost nobody else is moving.

Someplace Else. Honorable Mention in Twenty-Four Hours Challenge.
Our 24 Hours begins the night before- We arrive late, the sun has set, the dog is panting, he knows the winding road and what it leads to- tires crunching on the rocky drive-way, and two hearts in the warm-lit window of the A frame at the base of the lake. They smile and wave and they come to meet us.

The Magic of San Carlos. Runner-Up in Twenty-Four Hours Challenge.
The perfect stay in San Carlos, Sonora, Mexico, starts with oceanside accommodations. I recommend The Hotel Fiesta Real, as shown above. The rooms aren't luxurious but look at the view! It's quiet, affordable, and conveniently located, and you won't be spending much time in your room anyway. One nice thing about San Carlos is that they cater to Americans, so most often, you will find someone who speaks English, at least to some extent.

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.

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.

Charleston, Ho! . Winner in Twenty-Four Hours Challenge.
Meet me at my apartment on Central Avenue at lunchtime in the summer of 1997 to begin this trip properly. We’re taking my blue Maxima, and fuck I-20 and I-26. We’re taking the backroads through Williston and Blackville, Denmark and Bamberg. We’re going to slip down the Piedmont to the Coastal Plain on a two-lane blacktop. You’ll know when it happens, the land leveling out from those long, steep hills on 28, the ones that crest so high you can see into the next county.

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.

Delawander. Runner-Up in Twenty-Four Hours Challenge.
Like Pat’s and Geno’s in Philly, such is the case with Capriotti’s. This classic Delaware eatery is popular and has been around for years and some still don’t know that a Bobbie® is nothing but a Thanksgiving meal on a roll. It’s arguably the most famous sandwich shop to come out of Delaware. It consists of turkey, stuffing, and cranberry sauce all slammed together on fresh bread. It tastes great and Cap’s is also famous for its Capistrami®, which is if pastrami and reuben sandwiches did a high five, but nothing compares to Casapulla’s tuna fish wraps. Feast your mind’s eye on the creamy, juicy and rich distinction that this seafood delight elicits. Bite into the decadent, luxurious flavors that delight the tongue and drive the mind. Welcome to Newark, Delaware.
