This Guy Gets Around
May 4, 2007. Everyone aspires to vacation as much as possible, but we've never seen anyone who travels as much as Kyle Wagner, whose Denver Post column "Road Tripper" finds him at a new destination (or luxury vacation rental) every week. We have to give Wagner respect for succinctly extolling the virtues of luxury vacation rentals:
"I like to go the condo route whenever possible, mostly because it's just more comfortable - everyone can spread out, there usually are laundry facilities, more beds and televisions, and the kitchen means the extra cost can often be offset by cooking several meals."
We also have to give Wagner respect for the places he's been.
One week he was in Sante Fe, taking advantage of off-season prices and the lack of crowds to enjoy the local art. He ate dinner at Maria's New Mexican Kitchen and loved the margaritas (the bar offers more than 100 different kinds of tequila.) He ate breakfast at Sage Bakehouse, a hip bakery where patrons revel in the fresh baked smell while gnoshing and reading the New York Times.
The next week he flew across the ocean to Maui, where the humpback whales were "breaching right and left." This time, he goes for Hawaiian-style kalua pork, hangs out on the beach, and does a little shopping.
Last week, he was off to Los Angeles to take the "Hollywood Behind the Scenes" tour, visit Tinsel Town landmarks and see a Dodgers game.
Tough job, eh?
