Water sandals available in a color called gargoyle are simply awesome. My 10-year-old Teva sandals gave out about a year ago and it was time to upgrade to something a bit more modern, Keen Newport H2 Sandals purchased from Appalachian Outdoors travel store. Living in Florida means I’m spending quite a bit of time in […]
The most unusual thing I ate during my vacation to Alaska wasn’t the caribou gyro or salmon jerky. No, I didn’t let my lips touch a mummified toe from the Sour Toe Cocktail as fellow travel blogger Ben Reed of Adventures with Ben did during his trip (our Alaska trips overlapped). I’d have to say […]
If you’re like me and enjoy travel then you certainly love photography. Good folks at The Weather Channel (no, not Jim Cantore) recently made me aware of a new show called ‘From the Edge’ which brings together the works of Mother Nature and photography. Master Photographer Peter Lik is the show’s host and throughout the […]
One of the reasons I enjoy traveling solo is independence and freedom of choosing what I want to do and when. I enjoy immersing completely in a new environment and sometimes when traveling with others, I can’t relax and enjoy the experience. I feel the need to entertain other people traveling with me and am […]
When my day job and blogging habit collide, the result can be a wild and wooly day, such as Wednesday. It wasn’t a bad day, just fast-paced, like any other day this time of year. So what’s a day in the life of Solo Travel Girl? Nothing typical and can’t say no two days are […]
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Monograms. All opinions are 100% mine. My tentative big trip for 2011 will be a week in Alaska. While some people enjoy travel planning, sometimes I don’t have time for it. For these trips, I leave the planning to a travel agent or other […]
Not sure about you but I’m not a fan of traveling over the holidays. It’s the anxiety of missing a connection, having luggage lost and even worse, spending the holiday in an airport terminal.
Oh, Oregon. How I love your carefree attitude, tree hugging-spirit, and panache for crafting delicious foods and beverages. Mmm. Mmm. During both trips to Oregon (once in 2010 and the first in 2007) to say I ate well is an understatement. Seems as though I noshed on everything ranging from fruits and veggies from farmers’ […]
First full day of the 40th birthday getaway to the Pacific Northwest was devoted to exploring (and eating through) Portland, Ore. Thanks to TriMet’s MAX light rail system for FREE transportation (within certain zones) and saving my feet. The morning started at Voodoo Doughnut and the day included a jaunt to find the 24-Hour […]
