Journey to…

Can you believe it? My vacation is over today! If all went well, I should be spending the day wandering around the ancient sites of Rome. ROME!!! And what is even more amazing is that I have all these writer friends who willingly and without hesitation agreed to write a guest post for me while [...]

Audience with the Pope

While I’m in Italy, I’ve asked several blogosphere friends to share travel stories with you while I’m gone. This story from Woman with No Regrets is from her time in Italy. I thought I’d share it today, the day my Florence tour ends and the first day I’ll be in Rome.

Rules to Live By

It has been so fun getting these posts from blogosphere friends. And so serendipitous! Today’s missive from Renn are a few guidelines for getting alone as a transplant to the South. I think she lives near my cousin and from what I hear from him, these guidelines are spot on.
As you spend today recovering from [...]

Giving Thanks

OK. I’m thankful for a lot of stuff (like spending Thanksgiving in Italy, for one. and friends who write guest posts for while I’m gone, for another.) I’ve been trying to keep track each Sunday with my little lists of things that made me smile. But today, is our national day of giving thanks.
So what [...]

Sitting at the Kid’s Table

I am so thankful to have found such talented writers in my wanderings through the blogosphere. And then to think that some of them would actually let their writing be put on my blog while I’m on vacation? Over the moon, is what I am.

In honor of Thanksgiving in the USA tomorrow, we have a [...]

Brass Monkey

I am SO lucky to have made such good blogging friends! While I’m away in Italy, missing you all madly of course, several of these good friends have agreed to write a guest post. Today, we have Movin’ Down The Road.
Here’s a cautionary tale about looking for authentic LIVE music in a new city… [...]

OK. Technically, I’m not in “old Napoli” today. I should be in Florence. I’ll let you know for sure next week. In the meantime, enjoy Dean-o.

Rocky (Mountain) Reunion

I am so grateful for the people I’ve meet on these here innerwebs. For instance, when asked a few to share travel stories while I was gone THEY SAID YES! Who knew?? Churlita, a rather Churlish Figure, lives just a few hours south of me with her teenage daughters who are about the same ages [...]

Last Train to Memphis

I am SO fortunate! Not only have I been able to take this trip to Italy but I have FABULOUS blogosphere friends who will relate their sordid travel tales for your enjoyment while I’m gone. Today, DCup from Politits and Unglued shares the joy of train travel with small children. A cautionary tale, even without [...]

The Diva’s take on the Big Easy

While I’m on vacation, I’ve asked several blogosphere friends to share stories of favorite vacation spots. And they said “Yes!” What’s up with that???? Amazing and wonderful and much more, is what I think.
Today, the day I touch down in Italy, Diva T is going to share her love for a great American icon: New [...]

Welcome!

11/18/08 Note: In preparation for being away from the computer for a while, I've turned off comment moderation because I want you to be able to interact with my guest posters. Be good while I'm gone kids!

Welcome to the new (and hopefully permanent) home of This Journey. It's good to have people walking along, especially during the bumpy parts. I can be contacted at not.fainthearted at gmail dot com. Or leave a comment!
