Florence, Italy: Spooning the Duomo

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark September 12, 2012 Travel and Adventures

ShareI arrive late to Florence, lugging my aptly named LUGGage behind me through the bustling train station. My first time here, I’m assured my hotel is in walking distance. Do people take in to account the fact you are hauling 60 plus pounds of luggage, laptops and cameras when they insist such things? So, I […]

Go Further: Full Throttle SuuperGForce Fun with Ford

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark August 22, 2012 Travel and Adventures

ShareIf there were bugs out in Michigan today, a generous collection would most certainly be embedded in my teeth. I’m still on an adrenaline high from the treat of track testing some seriously fun automobiles that I’m sure would put Henry Ford at risk of an overdose of awe. But how did I find myself […]

Novice Navigation: 9 Why-Didnt-I-Think-of-That Travel Tips for Getting Around Soundly

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark August 3, 2012 Travel and Adventures

ShareGetting lost is only fun in music, food, thought, dance and conversation. Not as much in a foreign land where you may not speak the language and you’re desperate to make the departure for the matchmaking tour bus in Spain! (Yes, there really is such a tour.) “Not until we are lost do we begin […]

Cheers and Cheerful Cherries in Cres, Croatia

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark July 11, 2012 Travel and Adventures

ShareJune is the season for cherries in Croatia. I know this because as I make my zigzagging way up the tangled streets of Cres, Croatia, intent on reaching the white stone tower I’ve been eyeing all morning, I am drawn farther and farther up a small private walkway, snapping photos, and barge into a sweet […]

Bologna, Italy – A Traveler’s Triathalon

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark July 5, 2012 Interactive Travel

ShareIf you worry that your fitness regimen may be challenged when you travel, fear not. On one beautiful day in Italy, my girlfriends Helene, Sara and I managed to create and conquer our own Bologna Triathalon. First we climbed the 500 steps of the ancient Asinelli tower (barefoot) and monkeyed around on top while taking […]

‘The Sweetest Dolce of My Vita’ – Bologna, Italy

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark June 6, 2012 Interactive Travel

ShareI knew what I was getting into. I mean, who thinks any trip to Italy won’t be infused with artisan crafted, heaven sent and heaven scented foods? Patiently aged cheeses, hams, wines, and even balsamic vinegars make you grapple with the dilemma of whether to devour more of the same dish you just inhaled, or […]

Beautiful Bologna – Part I in Photos

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark May 31, 2012 Interactive Travel

ShareCiao my lovelies! If you’ve been following my “Where’s Gina” GPS map, you have an inkling I’ve been enjoying Bologna for a while now. I’ve been remiss in sharing because I’ve been strenuously enjoying the city – on your behalf, of course! (I mean “certo!”) I thought I would share a photo gallery that really […]

Interactive Travel: Italy! Tell Gina Where to Go

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark May 11, 2012 Interactive Travel

ShareI’m doing it again. Yes, traveling (I do that on occasion). But more than that. I’m opening my vacation up to the input, suggestions and perhaps even a few dares from my readers (and in this instance, fellow prior blogville residents). Be gentle. 😉 So, you may have seen some buzz going around Twitter about […]

Phabulous Phoenix – Changing my Rustic Perceptions of Arizona

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark May 3, 2012 Travel and Adventures

ShareWe all have long-held biases of places. Opinions we formed when we were less open-minded or on family road trips driving through desert territory without air conditioning. Most of my ignorant perceptions of my neighboring state of Arizona were forged under these conditions. I’m old enough to have experienced a family car (a Ford Pinto, […]

My New Reality: Escape with Me to ‘Escape Routes’ in LA!

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark March 24, 2012 Interactive Travel

ShareThose of you who follow me on Twitter as @SuuperG and here on my blog know me to be a bit of an adventuress; hiking locally and in Italy, skiing faster than my skill dictates, kayaking, paragliding, belly dancing (TRUST me! It’s an adventure when a mid-forties woman publicly bares her midriff while shimmying!), driving […]

Venice, Italy – My Summer In Photos

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark January 23, 2012 Travel and Adventures

ShareA little about me: I like to travel. And when I’m not traveling, my mind wanders. ~ Gina Stark I’ve been wistfully breezing and browsing through my Venice travel photos from last summer, and I realized I was remiss in my sharing. Venice – well Italy in general – is so very vibrant and colorful […]

Six Reasons to Savor Spain

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark December 28, 2011 Travel and Adventures

ShareFlamenco: I was first blessed with the good fortune to enjoy authentic, rustic and spontaneous flamenco in Madrid during the summer I spent there in my wide-eyed eighteenth year. I stayed with my American girlfriend who was living there and had fettered out the best local places for food-ing, disco-ing and flamenco gawking. Let’s just […]
