Travel Writing

Last night I sat down at the computer to write a travel story about our trip to Yellowstone. Before I started writing, I checked to see how many other travel stories I have written which are ready for publication (that have not already been published). Nine! I have already written nine fun travel stories ready for publication.

One is about our tour of the Jelly Belly Jelly Bean factory in Fairfield, CA. Another is about a day in the early 1990s I spent in NYC with my brother, including our visit to the top of one of the World Trade Center towers.

Pike’s Peak, The Great Sand Dunes, and Colorado Springs are all about places in Colorado.

Rounding out the last four are Oahu, HI; Olympic Peninsula, WA; the Cherry Festival in Traverse City, MI; and Campobello Island in Canada, just a bridge across from Lubec, ME, the easternmost city in the USA

Funfunfun stories. I love to write travel stories.

Mark is taking me to a surprise destination on June 8-10. The only clues I have are that it’s a one-and-a-half to two-hour drive and we will not be hiking and doing the general active things I like to do, but he said we would be walking around. I have also figured out that it’s not a festival that happens only that weekend.

So, hopefully I can get a travel story out of that trip too. And I’m hoping to stop at Smoky Mts. National Park on the way to my dad’s in GA when we go Memorial Day week. I’ve never been.
