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 […]

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 […]

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, […]

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!

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 […]

The Italian Dolomites: Local Flavor, Spellbinding Witches and Thrilling Thunder

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark August 29, 2011 Travel and Adventures

ShareOne of the special perks of touring with an experienced guide is the introduction to local people who are more than happy to share their grappa or limoncello as well as the more secret and intimate treasures of their home region. Which Witch? Petra was one such gem that our guide Gary Scott arranged for […]

The Serendipity of Traveling Solo – Or, Why There is No “of course!” in the Italian Language

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark August 12, 2011 Travel and Adventures

ShareI won’t gloss it over for you. I will not profess to “love traveling alone” because, at times, frankly, it gets kind of lonesome. But I will proclaim emphatically that some of my most cherished travel moments have come from doing just that: venturing out on my own. “A journey is like marriage. The certain […]

Italian Dolomites: Foxes, Fox Holes, Foot Paths, and Fabulous Food

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark July 15, 2011 Hiking

In the morning, some of the group enjoyed an international horse-jumping event, one (not me!) went on a vigorous bike ride and we all reconvened for a lovely lunch on a covered patio of a local restaurant. I’m becoming hooked on these grande salads […]

Washington DC, Fireflies …and Irreverent Me

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark June 26, 2011 Interactive Travel

ShareHave you ever seen the U.S. capitol? Toured the monuments? Visited the hallowed halls of the founding fathers and their documents of “We’re mad as hell and we’re not going to take this any more!”-ness ? But….have you ever seen fireflies?
