Look down the sidewalk! He’s a bird, he’s a plane, no, he’s Electron Boy! During my trip to the Pacific Northwest last month one of the most amazing experiences I had was seeing superhero Electron Boy battle evil and save a group trapped in an elevator at the Seattle Space Needle when all I was…
“The soul of the coast” is calling my name and my friends at Brown’s Wharf Inn have me researching Boothbay Harbor Maine and it sounds like my kind of town. Frizzy hair and plump pores mean summer is already here in Florida which has me thinking I need some place cool to visit.
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 (blog entry) and the day included a jaunt to find the…
I’ve contemplated visiting Myrtle Beach, S.C., for quite a while, especially since Direct Air initially offered service from Punta Gorda, which has since been suspended from PGD, but Allegiant Air offers flights to Greenville/Spartanburg (which is relatively close).

I’m a Saturn gal and was crushed when I learned GM was discontinuing the line. In January of this year I purchased a 2009 Saturn AURA Hybrid, my third Saturn vehicle, and absolutely love it. XM Satellite Radio came as a three-month trial (as it does in all GM vehicles) and I admit to being…
Spotting Elvis in the Southeastern United States is understandable. Graceland is located in the heart of the South (Memphis). Up the road from me in Sarasota is the Waffle Stop diner (660 North Washington Blvd.; Tel: 941-952-0555) which claims Elvis ate there in 1956. Spotting a shrine to Elvis and other Elvis memorabilia in the…
This is a bit quirky, a bit off-the-beaten path, and a bit gross. It’s the Gum Wall at Post Alley near Pike Place Market in Seattle! Enjoy this up close and personal snapshot and imagine a scent of fruity and peppermint gums.
Doughnuts, markets, good eats and weird stuff were themes for the first full day in Portland, Ore., during last month’s birthday trip to the Pacific Northwest. With a body still in sync with the Eastern Time Zone, waking up somewhat early was easy and began with a dash to world famous Voodoo Doughnuts , “Where…
