On the Map: The Marvelous Morris House Hotel (Philadelphia)
By Mark McNease
On the Map is a travelogue of places, restaurants and landscapes for your travel considerations. Sometimes near, sometimes far, always interesting.
As the most restrictive aspects of this pandemic-burdened year begin to lessen, my husband Frank and I are hitting the road again. For now weāll be taking local-ish trips we can enjoy with just a few hoursā drive in the car. We have a cruise booked for December that was postponed twice because of Covid and the inability of cruise ships to dock in U.S. ports (combined with our own significant concerns), and Iām looking forward to an extensive trip report when we finally board two weeks before Christmas. Cruising is my favorite form of extended vacation, so stay tuned for a late December travelogue.
This time we took a two night trip to Philadelphia. For a number of years now weāve treated each other to surprise getaways. One of us takes the other on a trip, and the person being surprised does not know where weāre going. A few months ago Iād seen a recommendation for an outdoor classical concert āunder the starsā in Philly, and thought it would be a perfect way to start getting out there again.

Travel Time: Bears En La Playa Bed & Breakfast, Chelem, Yucatan, Mexico
Travel TimeĀ joins Q Audiobooks as a regular feature at LGBTSr, highlighting (in this case) destinations and travel suggestions for the LGBTQ traveler.
Hat tip to reader John H. for referring this fabulous B & B.
Bears En La Playa, located in Chelem, is a small bed and breakfast right on the beach. Chelem, Yucatan is a small fishing village just outside the port town of Progreso. We are 30 minutes from Merida, a city of about 1 million people. A better description might be that we are three and a half hours from Cancun.
