Where'd She Go?

Sorry for the prolonged blogging absence. You're probably asking "Where's she been?" I've been writing my little patootie off. I took on a freelance travel writing gig, where I was assigned 222 destinations to write 150-word blurbs about. At first glance, that doesn't seem like a lot, but when you add research to the mix, it took me nearly two weeks to complete.

It was interesting, though, because there were a lot of places that I didn't even know EXISTED, much less were tourist destinations. Who knew that Bulgaria had beaches? It seems the Black Sea coast is quite the draw. So is Bali, and Cyprus, and . . . I could go on and on.

I also learned about Sun City, South Africa. I knew about it from that song in the 80s where the music industry said they "ain't gonna play Sun City" but I never really knew what a Las-Vegas like experience it was supposed to be. And if I didn't want to go on safari before, I definitely do after researching Tanzania and Kenya.

Like my list of places I want to go needed to get any longer. :)

In September, one of my "want to go" destinations will be checked off my list. Check back for the reveal of where that will be!
