I’m writing this to you having only taken two sips of coffee, so forgive me if the prose is a little foggy. Hopefully, by the end of the paragraph, the good stuff will have kicked in and the writing will have a crystalline clarity and forward momentum. I’ll just keep writing until I feel something shift. That’s the kind of Tuesday I’m having. I feel like an air mattress that’s been sitting in the tent all day while you were out hiking, slowly losing air, wondering when everyone will return from their exciting day at the swimming hole and inflate me. I feel like a grape seltzer that no one wants, watching all the other seltzers get snatched up, wondering what it is about me that makes me everyone’s last choice… Wow, I hope that coffee kicks in soon. Today’s stories include the mystical and beautiful mountains and lakes of Scotland, a guide to throwing your own clambake, cocktails that are sourced directly from the rainforest, new flights from United, and the scoop on the upcoming Lord of the Rings series. Well, call me Bilbo Baggins and get me to the clambake, because I’m ready to rock and roll! And with that, I think I can feel the coffee kicking in. I’m ready to turn on an ABBA song and lift a car. [-Ned Riseley, Senior Copywriter]( [ [( travel [] [Affix Your Kilts, Scotland Is Calling]( The beautiful landscape of Scotland is not a difficult sell. All you need to do is glance at the photos of the lochs, the castles, the reindeer, and the glorious mountains and you’ll understand why Scotland is such a perfect destination for your next adventure. Plus, beyond every tree and loch there could be a magical stone that will help you time-travel to an ancient Scottish village where you’ll meet a beautiful but damaged Scotsperson whose love language is deep tissue massage. Outlander was based on a true story and you can’t convince me otherwise. [] [Aye!]( [( [( food & drink [] [It’s High Tide You Made Tonight’s Dinner a Clambake]( Whether you live on a rocky coast, in the middle of a bustling metropolis, or a cabin in the middle of a quiet forest without electricity or any connection to the outside world, you are entitled to throwing your own clambake. Although it may be harder for the forester to get his hands on the ingredients… or this recipe… No matter! Here we have all the tips you need to make your clambake count, an investigation into the origins of the clambake, and a recipe from Robert Sisca, the chef at The Banks Fish House in Boston. This dude knows his clams. [] [A real nice clambake]( [( *Sponsored Ads List [( food & drink [] [These Cocktails Come Directly from the Surrounding Rainforest]( At the Rum Bar, located in the Copal Tree Lodge in the jungle of Punta Gorda, you’ll find some of the most rainforest-y cocktails around. And I don’t just mean because they follow a theme. These cocktails use ingredients sourced from the jungle that surrounds the bar, and you’re likely to make direct eye contact with a howler monkey or a python while sipping one of their delicious elixirs. This is not the Rainforest Cafe, this is the real deal. Although if anyone wants to go in on some spinach and artichoke dip at the Rainforest Cafe in Atlantic City, please feel free to reach out!
