Eastern Home & Travel July/August 2017 | Page 12

from the editor During a recent trip to a conference, our staff was fortunate to spent several days learning new ways to better serve you as our readers. Digital avenues, social media projects, and video clips are in the works to provide you an even more intimate look into the places and people we meet along the East Coast. There are beaches that need combing, food that needs tasting, home interiors that need sharing and our writers are committed to exploring these aspects that make the East Coast a spectacular place to travel. While it's pretty certain that there is nothing more relaxing than some time spent near the water (and we're prepared to keep confirming that), we’ve found that touring restored lighthouses, exploring art galleries, and tasting local cuisine are just a few of the tried and true ways to make the most of a traveling adventure. On The Cover Portland Head Light in Cape Elizabeth, Maine. Story on page 14. Our intention is to provide a spark that sends you off the sofa and on to your next adventure. Our wish for you is that while you collect tokens and souvenirs, enjoy meals, and discover new places, that most of all, you gather memories that last a life time and beyond. Cheers!
