I wrote a post for Barrelhopping.com about 5 great cities to visit. Like many of the better things I write, it came from getting all fired up about something. It was a Conde Naste article with the same mission … but it was ll over-priced and over-hyped fluff. I wrote something of my own, but aimed at Average Joe travelers like me.

You should head to barrelhoppping.com and read it. And in the meantime, enjoy some photos from those five great cities.
