Heading to the Beach



Layovers are never fun, especially in a New Jersey airport. So here we are at Newark International Airport, zoning out the CNN on the flat panel tvs and people-watching as the minutes tick away to boarding time for the final connection to Nantucket. Marcus’ name plaque hasn’t been seeing much travel in the last few weeks so it’s come to keep me company on my trip to visit one of my best friends in Nantucket. This is a deviation for Marcus’ name plaque as it prefers the comfort of a slate-gray metal desk; another emotionless and cold item of the white collar world. Also the plaque doesn’t like going near water, or outside of the Empire State. But hey, isn’t the point of a vacation to do something 180 of the norm? Let’s consider this a fact-finding tour as it treks across the sands of New England beaches, and asks Massachusetts residents their opinion on the referendum to do away with the state income tax.
