I was recently notified by the lovely Marti Ingram at <\/span>Down The Wrabbit Hole<\/a><\/span> that I was nominated for their Destination Memory Lane Blogging Challenge.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n The concept is pretty cool.\u00a0 Travel bloggers write about amazing, frustrating, funny, sad, helpful, kooky experiences all the time.\u00a0 Destination Memory Lane gives us a chance to narrow it down to a few gems.<\/p>\n So, here are the rule:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n 1) \u00a0Introduce your “Destination: Memory Lane”<\/i> post with a summary of the blogging challenge’s purpose. \u00a0You may copy the summary here or create your own. *It is also good netiquette to link back to the person who nominated you. \u00a0Let’s create a supportive network for one another!<\/p>\n \n Here it goes, my top 5 travel memories as told through my blog posts.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n 1.) <\/span>That time I was kidnapped in Arusha<\/a><\/span>– okay, so it wasn’t a full out kidnapping, but I was taken to a location against my will and not allowed to leave until I paid my captor.\u00a0 A fine introduction to African culture.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n 2.) My Oliver Hardy Adventures in Georgia<\/a>– The first trip I went on after starting my blog was to Harlem, GA for the annual Oliver Hardy Festival.\u00a0 It was one of the weirder events I’ve been too and was one of my first “on location” blog posts.\u00a0 So, it holds a special place in my heart.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n 3.) A psychic potluck<\/a><\/span>– Attending Sunday services at a spiritualist camp was certainly interesting.\u00a0 Free readings and donation only pot luck brunch can’t be beat.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n 4.) The time a seagull stole my lunch at Brighton Beach<\/a>– Not exactly what I imagined for my summer beach day, but funny none the less.\u00a0 Chilly, foggy, and left hungry, it was a really English vacation.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n 5.) The worst flight in the history of bad flights<\/a><\/span> (Relax Malaysian Air stock holders, it’s a exageration), on US Airways on Christmas.- I was miserable at the time but it’s funny to look back on it now.\u00a0 A heartwarming holiday tale.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n So there you have it.\u00a0 I’ve only been blogging a short time, not even a year yet and it was still hard to pick just 5.\u00a0 Hope you enjoy my best and worst (but still favorite) travel memories.<\/p>\n <\/span>Now I will pass the challenge onto these 5 terrific travelers.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n I can’t wait to read everyone else travel memories.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Save<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I was recently notified by the lovely Marti Ingram at Down The Wrabbit Hole that I was nominated for their Destination Memory Lane Blogging Challenge.
