Activity: Running State: Connecticut City: New Haven North Haven, Irish Festival June, 2007 |
Experience Repeatability |
Did another 5k at the North Haven Irish Festival. Nice (very) flat and winding course beginning and ending at the fairgrounds. Weather was great - about 73 degrees and sunny. Improved a little (33:00) |

Activity: Dining State: Massachusetts City: Boston O'Brien's Pub 1998 |
Experience Repeatability |
Local pub and eatery in Allston/Brighton area. The food is OK, regular Irish fare, and the beers are reasonably priced. The pub is relatively spacious, with dark wood tables and benches. Kind of a 3rd date place. Location: O'Brien's Pub, 13 Harvard Ave., Allston, MA. Tel. 617-782-9082 |

Activity: Work/School State: New Jersey City: Newark EWR Newark Airport 2006 |
Experience Repeatability |
Newark is a valid alternative to JFK or LaGuardia if going to NYC, but never pleasant. The biggest problem is the bus wait to get into the city from the airport; the lines can be long and if in winter, it's a COLD wait. From EWR into NYC, the most popular stop is at Port Authority on 42nd and 8th, however there are other destinations as well. See www.newarkairport for more info. |

Activity: Work/School State: Illinois City: Chicago ORD Chicago O'Hare Airport 2006 |
Experience Repeatability |
Under construction is the dominant theme. Getting from one terminal to another is a mix of buses and walking through scaffolding and drywall. It may have improved over the last year, but in my 3 times flying in, found it challenging as a connection stop, and vaguely unpleasant as a final destination/ check-in airport. |

Activity: Work/School Country: USA East City: Washington D.C. IAD Dulles Airport 2005 |
Experience Repeatability |
Dulles Airport is actually in Virginia and about 40 minutes from Washington. The biggest inconvenience is the driving distance, otherwise it is a clean, well-run facility. Keep in mind the airport is large so an hour+ connecting interval would be recommended. More information at www.metwashairports.com |

Activity: Fishing State: Connecticut City: New Haven Clinton June, 2007 |
Experience Repeatability |
1st outing of the year. Went out of Clinton Harbor to Southwest reef - fishing for stripers using live eels. Beautiful day; sunny, seas < 1 foot and wind < 5 knots. Caught 2 decent sized bluefish and 1 25" striper (too small to keep). Lost a bunch of rigs though, lots of lobster pots in this area. |

Activity: Running State: Connecticut City: Bridgeport June, 2007 |
Experience Repeatability |
ran the 'Run for the Rock' 5k in the Black Rock section of Bridgeport 6/10. Nice route mostly along the water with 1 decent hill at the begining of the 3rd mile. Slight rain but nice and cool (9am start). Still slow - clocked ~33 mins this time (not sure of the exact time since there was no electronic timing of finish) |

Activity: Work/School State: Louisiana City: New Orleans MSY New Orleans Aiport 2003 |
Experience Repeatability |
Just being in New Orleans makes this middle-of-the-road airport a bit better. Dominant impression: construction goes pretty slow here. It's at least a half hour drive to town from MSY, and directions are fairly clear. |
