Two Travel Bloggers Meet At An Irish Pub…

Posted by Dave on October 9th, 2007

Stacy and Me

Stacy from Rambling Traveler was visiting a friend in the DC area with her husband Doug this past weekend, and suggested we meet up for a drink.  I steered us toward Ireland’s Four Courts in Arlington.  We laughed, we ate 7-layer dip and chips, we enjoyed a few beers, we talked about blogs and travel, and they gave me advice about a surly woman from Craig’s List who berated me earlier in the day.

Next time I’ll be sure to flash my pearly whites for the camera!

Dare Me to do something fun, weird, or challenging on the road!

That’s awesome, Dave! I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how cool it would be to meet up with some of the folks from this great little travel community.

Unfortunately, northern Rhode Island is not tops on most folks’ list of “Awesome Places to Visit Around the World” so I guess I’ll have to get the hell out of RI to actually see anyone else. =P

Yes Mike, on my trip, I’m going the completely opposite direction of Rhode Island. Geographically, Rhode Island would be the absolute last place I’d visit, though you’ll probably be on your own adventure by that time anyways.

Hi Dave! Thank you for agreeing to meet, I had a great time. (I’ve got my post ready to go for tomorrow, and it looks like our pics are identical)

Hi Mike, I just saw your comment and laughed, because Dave and I both said we’d like to get to Rhode Island so we could meet you! Maybe you could put together a Visit Rhode Island guide for us.

I can’t argue with the choice of venue! ahhh an Irish pub, if you are going to meet a fellow blogger then an Irish pub is a great place anywhere in the world. :)

Well that is neat, I have always thought about meeting fellow bloggers, but they say that can present a safety concern.

I guess not. :grin:

I found your blog through Stacy’s blog when she wrote about this same meeting. :) My work as a freelance copywriter and travel professional is done completely online - I have several clients that I’ve worked with one a daily/weekly basis for 2+ years - yet have never met in person - you guys look like you’re having a blast!
