Why Not Stay in America's Oldest Inn?
We used to go to Rhinebeck when I was a child—my grandparents had friends in the area and we always stayed in their old historical home, which came with an old fashioned red barn, that was also stained and came in a myriad of textures. Cows would be in the pastures and they had a horse, a rabbit and some chickens in the back. It was glorious and all of my memories of those visits were magical.

How To Explore the Underground Culture of Any City
I have spent the better part of 10 years living life in the underground music scene — and it was amazing.

Things You Should Never Bring On A Flight
There are a few things that you should not bring on any flight. It is a known fact that bringing weapons of any kind on a flight is a very bad idea with severe consequences. You will go to jail. Also, bringing pets is another no go. You don’t want to have to deal with a barking dog or meowing cat. Avoid bringing liquids too. These will be taken away at the security part of the airport. There have been cases of terrorist trying to bring in liquid bombs. Lastly, avoid bringing lighters and sharp objects on planes. This is a given as you will be searched and questioned for bringing flammables. Overall, follow these flight etiquette rules and you will not be punished for your actions.

Most Expensive Hotels on the East Coast
I highly recommend staying at some of the most expensive hotels on the East Coast if money is not an issue. These hotels pride themselves on customer service, architectural beauty and having a high status. Most of these hotels are very well-known due to their exclusivity and high prices for guests. You will not think twice about staying at one of these hotels due to their plush and cozy rooms, magnificent views, and accessibility to popular attractions.
