Labor Day travel
Travel/Sep 7, 2026
Holiday travel is weather. You do not argue with weather.
The last summer movement of the year. Airports and highways tell the truth. Advice does not.

The least glamorous travel product in America, and the one that actually gets you home.

Bethany Beach, Delaware
Travel/Jul 20, 2026
A beach town that still has a hardware store
Quieter than the boardwalk towns, which is the whole pitch.

A beach that does not do branding
State-park sand, a WWII tower, and the rare East Coast weekend that is not a boardwalk pitch.

The road as a trip
I sat in a lane that was pretending to be a highway. That was the travel.

A train that is both public infrastructure and a mood, depending on the delay.

Airports are the last unreviewed public square
Travel current events happen under fluorescent light, with a rolling bag and a dying outlet.
