Interview with Guys of Twelve Hours In A City

On August 12th, 2009 JetBlue offered customers unlimited travel between September 8th, 2009 to October 8th, 2009 for only $599. The next day, Clark Dever and Joe DiNardo devised a creative plan. They would quit or take a break from their jobs and travel to as many destinations as possible within JetBlue offer time period. The interesting part is that they are only allowing themselves twelve hours at each destination. These guys have been able to successfully use their knowledge of social media to be featured on various big media outlets as well as scoring Boston Red Sox box seats at Fenway from Dunkin Donuts. They were both willing to spend their time to do an interview with me during their travels between Boston, Chicago and Long Beach.

Rome, Naples, Sicily, Venice and Florence (Italy)

I now know what la dolce vita (”the sweet life” in Italian) really means after traveling to Rome, Naples, Venezia and Sicily during a European cruise. The idea of going on this cruise was thought of by my parents to get the entire family together before life gets a bit tougher with everyone either in college or entering the working world.

Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic

A few weeks after graduating college in May 2005, my two college friends (Anthony and Brandon) decided that we should all go on a trip to the Dominican Republic. This was also good considering that Anthony had some family members living in Puerto Plata, a port town located on the north side of the Caribbean island. A vacation that involved lots of fun and relaxation after four years of studying seemed to be the perfect remedy.
