A to Z blogging
Y is for Yankee
Hello, I’m a Yankee. There. It’s out in the open. I was born and raised north of the Mason-Dixon Line and never really thought about it until I lived in Tallahassee, Florida’s capital, for three years. Although I had lived in the Sunshine State for three years, it wasn’t until my Tallahassee days that I […]
Continue ReadingW is for What is Art?
What is art? Growing up, I wanted to be an artist (among other things). I loved drawing, painting and photography but I never felt I could make it as an artist and traveled down another path. Merriam-Webster defines art as a : the conscious use of skill and creative imagination especially in the production of […]
Continue ReadingV is for Vancouver and Victoria, British Columbia
Vancouver, British Columbia, is one of the grooviest cities I’ve ever visited. It has a bohemian, creative, chic-vibe similar to San Francisco with a dash more international flavor. Granted, I’m basing this on only visiting twice plus a visit to nearby Victoria, but it’s a destination I hope to visit again.
Continue ReadingU is for Universal Orlando Resort
“U.” What the heck am I going to blog about in this A to Z Challenge that starts with U? Doh! Universal Orlando Resort in Florida! Of course, now I’m thinking about “V” for the next post.

Continue ReadingS is for Serendipity 3 in New York City
Frozen hot chocolate. The concept is a sweet mug of oxymoron served up daily at Serendipity 3 in New York City. For years I’ve been wearing Serendipitous, the chocolate-scented perfume by Serendipity 3 but last week was my first visit to the popular eatery.
Continue ReadingQ is for Quirky Kitsch Girl
Before this blog, Solo Travel Girl, I started Quirky Kitsch Girl’s View in 2005, a blog to post my random thoughts and share what was happening with family and friends. It wasn’t my first blog, I’ve actually been blogging since at least 2003 (or maybe 2002) but that blog no longer exists.
Continue ReadingP is for People at Play and their Unique Mother’s Day Gift Idea
Is Mom “One Tough Mother”? Is she the type of gal who seeks adventure and likes digging her hands in dirt? If so then a gift certificate to People at Play: The Heavy Equipment Experience in Bradenton, Fla., may be the perfect gift for Dear Mom.
Continue ReadingO is for Old
Whew! I’ve gotta be honest, I’m beat but know I made a commitment to participate in the Blogging from A to Z Challenge (more so to myself) so here I am. I began this post at 9:45 p.m. and although I’m ready to crawl into bed, I’m thinking of something witty to say related to […]
Continue ReadingM is for Mush!
Nope, I’m not talking about soggy food. “Mush” is a term associated with dog sledding, an activity that’s on my bucket list and an excuse to return to Alaska. During my August trip with friends Madge and Lyn, we stayed at EarthSong Lodge in Healy just outside Denali National Park.
