It’s a Dog’s Life

by Marie Edwards

Jan 13, 2019

We recently moved from Virginia to the Philadelphia area, my hometown, and we are thrilled to be back. Getting reacquainted with the area has been fun, and I feel lucky to be back in the swing with my friends and family.

A neighborhood-sized group of us went for a walk with our dogs along the Schuylkill River Trail from Conshohocken to Manayunk. On the way back, we stopped at Conshohocken Brewing Company, where dogs are always welcome. Conshohocken Brewing Company is a craft brewery that has high-quality beers with an industrial spirit reminiscent of the history of the area. The Schuylkill River Trail is a multi-use trail in southeastern Pennsylvania with about 60 miles of trails along the Schuylkill River and hopes for a total of 130 miles in length … definitely worth taking a hike!

Because everything always revolves around food, I met some friends at White Dog Café, a casual restaurant that offers environmentally sustainable and award-winning food. Outside of the inviting atmosphere and fabulous food, the uniqueness of White Dog is the artwork — pictures of dogs and dog statues are everywhere!

Next time you’re visiting the Philadelphia area, consider taking a hike and visiting some of the great restaurants and craft breweries around town, and don’t hesitate to bring your dog!

See you at the next stop!

Down to Earth: Find Your Element for the Ultimate Customized Spa Experience at Chuan Spa

After a stressful pre-holiday season and a busy work schedule, there was no better time for a relaxing spa experience than during my recent trip to Pasadena with the FXExpress Publications, Inc. team. We headed to The Langham Huntington, Pasadena for the 20th anniversary of the GT Tested Reader Survey awards, which meant a jam-packed trip, but I managed to carve a little time out of our busy schedule to visit Chuan Spa at the hotel.

Fukui: A Culture Hub in Rural Japan Worth the Detour

In many cases, less can be more in terms of what smaller cities and small-scale museums have to offer. This is true for Fukui Prefecture, located on the west coast of the main island and best known for its coastline, terrain and quiet towns. While major cities are awash with large-scale museums, bucolic Fukui Prefecture is worth a visit for its assemblage of institutions offering a deeper dive into Japanese life, history and culture.

Come Face-to-Face with Mountain Gorillas on a Trek in Uganda

Not a word was spoken as I settled into a cozy spot on the outdoor terrace just outside the main lodge at Volcanoes Bwindi Lodge in Uganda. The air was so still the ice in my single malt seemed to echo off the forest in the distance as it clanked against the glass. I sat among a handful of fellow adventurers, each sitting silently beneath the night sky for one collective goal. Moments earlier, we learned a troop of mountain gorillas had made their way down the mountain near our lodge, and we left our meals to instead sit in eager anticipation of hearing the guttural grunts of the primates below. The chills on my arms never left me that night, even as I made my way up a stone pathway to my personal banda (guestroom). Thankfully, sleep came quickly for me that night as I drifted into dreams of what my next day would bring.
