Tuesday Travelogue November 14th

By

Welcome to the ongoing series called Tuesday Travelogue. We are in our 142nd week!

Each week, some ActiveRain bloggers are spotlighted to take us somewhere we may not have been on some kind of virtual travel (and it doesn't cost a dime!). Here is the purpose:

  

 to enjoy the ride"

"take a trip without even leaving the farm"

"expand your horizons"

"see through someone else's eyes"

  and hopefully much more!

 

On this day in history, Nelie Bly goes around the world. A bit more about her: 

1889 Nelie Bly sets out to go around the world in 80 days

The American journalist, whose real name was Elizabeth Cochrane Seaman, followed the footsteps of fictional character Phileas Fogg from Jules Verne's Around the World in 80 Days. She started her adventure in Hoboken and came back 72 days later.

 

I thought I would focus on women and travel this week as a nod to Nelie. (Most assuredly, Nelie would have had her own travel blog if she were around today!)

Kathy Streib offers up a colorful palette of beachiness often on her blog. And Delray Beach is a spot on the map that we all would enjoy visiting because of her!

Sheila Anderson travels to see some jaw-dropping visages, and this one's no different.  Machu Picchu

 

Sheri Sperry always delivers interesting photographs and stories of areas around her home in Sedona AZ. This ghost town, is purported to be Arizona's Richest Ghost Town. Who knew??!!

Jerome Jail

 

 

To round out this week's group of amazing women, I'd like to share a thoughtful post by Myrl Jeffcoat, who quotes the Dalai Lama in an inspirational post.

Me, too! Me, too!! Ron and Alexandra Seigel, my sister and I have decided that 2019 she and I will head for Italy together. It'll be a first for me. Just finished a quasi travel book that focuses (at the end)  on the Italy of the writer's family to round out a wonderfully funny and poignant memoir.

I absolutely can't WAIT Ron and Alexandra Seigel. We were going to go in 2018 but her kids are graduating from college (in vitro twins!) and they want to go with their parents to Europe for graduation. How wonderful that my niece and nephew want to be with their mom and dad for that, huh?!

Beth Atalay it delights me when I hear that folks love this Tuesday Travelogue series. Sometimes it can be a challenge as to a "theme". These women made it easy for me.
