Hi, I am Georgette, a writer and artist based in Connecticut and Vermont. I am also Johnny Jet’s older sister, who quite possibly ignited his first spark of interest in traveling to exotic places, when at the impressionable age of 14, he saw my two-week trip to Australia last four years! Whether skiing in the mountains, snorkeling in the tropics, or exploring faraway cities, I am always game for traveling and the privilege of writing for my baby brother's website JohnnyJet.com. Of course, coming home to my husband Cam, our dog Baci, and my two cats Ace and Chammy- is great, too! Visit my website at www.georgettepaintings.com.
By Highroad Cam The words “charming” and “quaint”, used to the degree of overkill in travel writing, actually apply to my next statement. The Phineas Swann, a dog-friendly Bed and Breakfast Inn in Montgomery Center, VT, is both charming and quaint-quintessentially so. It is a beautifully restored Victorian farmhouse, with gardens, set halfway down Main Street, just [...]
The newly renovated ONE UN at One UN Plaza New York, located at East 44th Street between First and Second Avenues, close to the East River and across from the UN building, is a modern respite from the hustle bustle of downtown NYC. In September, the Millennium property is exclusively booked for UN delegates, but [...]
After a smooth Boston to Seattle flight on Alaska Airlines, we touched down, snagged our luggage off the carousel, and cabbed it to the perfectly situated downtown Sheraton – all the while anticipating an exciting new experience that was to come the next day! GeorgieJet and I, Highroad Cam, were about to embark on our first cruise and thankfully it [...]
October is here and so is Halloween when some people believe the “spirits” are more accessible. I visited Colorado and found 14 things to do in Haunted Colorado: 1. Visit, and, if you are brave enough, stay in Onaledge Bed and Breakfast in Manitou Springs, home of 26 hot springs and known as the hippy [...]
Arriving in Jasper National Park, Alberta after a fantastic 22 hour ride on Via Rail’s “The Canadian” was a welcome breath of fresh air-literally! The sight of the Canadian Rocky Mountains was so breathtaking that words can barely describe their “awesomeness,” and the air was so fresh it almost felt like I was breathing in [...]
By Highroad Cam and Georgie Jet: After leaving one of the premiere resorts in all of Vermont, the Stowe Mountain Lodge, (Read more aboout our time in Stowe here.) Georgie Jet, Baci, (our Chocolate Labrador) and I headed south alongside the Green Mountain range about 45 minutes to our next destination – a classic and humble country inn on [...]
Onboard Via Rail’s “The Canadian” from Vancouver to Jasper, Alberta is a journey steeped in service, comfort, and relaxation. The classic train was built in the ’50s and reminds one of the hit TV series – “Mad Men.” The dome car is reached via a set of stairs straight up into heaven! Sitting up high [...]
After a six hour direct flight from Newark, NJ on Air Canada, I arrived relatively fresh in Vancouver, BC. The flight went by quickly due to the large jet, spacious room in economy, and friendly Canadian flight attendants. Since the flight left at 7am and because of the three extra hours gained in time difference, [...]
