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 […]

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 […]

Thumbnail image for 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, […]

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 […]

ShareGratitudinousness.  It’s one of my favorite conjured words. And it really works in that gratitude is such a BIG concept…I think it kinda needs more greedy letters 🙂 “We don’t need more to be thankful for, we might just need to be more thankful.” Unknown Many who know me in my life and on Twitter […]

ShareLast week I shared the fact that I was whipping up a batch of my favorite cold summer “soup”, gazpacho, and Brad Spencer on Twitter goaded me into sharing it.  OK, actually, I am happy and proud to share this recipe, as for me it represents true food love that was lavished up me by […]

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 […]

Thumbnail image for Venice: A Thing of Beauty – Then and Now by Gina "SuuperG" Stark July 3, 2011 Travel and Adventures

ShareVenice has been called the most beautiful city in the world.  After meandering and savoring it’s many delights and sights for four days, I confess I won’t stand up and challenge that statement. I had been to Venice before, as an 18-year old high on freedom, possibility and the adventures made available to young travelers […]

ShareIt sounds more exotic than it was. Also, I’m not so philanthropic that I gave no thought to my own enrichment and enjoyment by traveling once again to Thailand, a country I have thoroughly enjoyed in the past.  But this time, my final destination would be the island Ko Tao and what I hoped would […]
