WHAT IS THE TRAVEL WRITING LIFE REALLY LIKE? IS IT AS GREAT AS PEOPLE THINK? I HOPE TO COME TO SOME CONCLUSIONS AS I SHARE MY TRIPS AND TRAVAILS.

This Guy and a Girl’s Getaway in East Hampton

by Kent St. John on July 20, 2009


It is one of the biggest trends in travel now, girl getaways. Though I do not fit the gender I got a glimpse this weekend with two of the best femmes in the world, also two of my oldest friends. Since 7th grade Lisa and Laurie have popped up through the years and this weekend we all popped up at Lisa’s fantastic house in East Hampton. The beautiful manse is a testament to her toils and high profile in the production world.

After a great ride down to East Hampton with Laurie we bunkered down to enjoy a weekend with just us and the fantastic surroundings of my favorite Hampton village. Biking, beaching and lounging is always a great thing but the added pleasure of time spent with these two was a mini Big Chill memory I will always remember. Passage of time and events in our lives all got prime time in our delightful talks. Dinners in relaxed moods and casual settings were sprinkled with light banter and heavy thoughts, a perfect mix. If this is what a girl’s getaway is all about, I want in!
