Hello, wanderlust! My first story for BudgetTravel.com, “Vacation Ideas: One-Tank Escapes for 8 Cities” just went live. Whatever part of the country you call home, hopefully one of these cool getaways is nearby.

Oh, and I just have to re-emphasize: The chocolate doughnut from Bouchon Bakery in Yountville, California, that I mention in the story is to die for. Totally worth the trek to get a gooey mouthful of that rich chocolate filling.

Link to the story on the BT website is here!
