Say hello to the weekend! Here are Three Travel Bites of the Week:
1. Yes, we love to travel but sometimes the world faces stiff competition from home. I found this great article in my local magazine by travel writer Laura Fraser that perfectly describes just how fiercely loyal San Franciscans are to their city even when they are traveling to someplace else on the other side of the globe. It was a unique perspective that I think can apply to all travelers no matter what town they explore because sometimes nothing can measure up to that special something that rests at home.
2. Not only do I love San Francisco, but I love California in general, which is why I am giving away a book! I just read Travel Temptations, Sun California by Lena Katz – a great guide book to off-the-beaten path experiences that will take you in all directions around the Golden state. You can read the review here, on my regular blog for Wanderlust & Lipstick, and all you have to do for your chance to win the book is subscribe to the blog by midnight on May 10th. I will randomly select the winner to be revealed on May 13th.
3. Vegas anyone? Gray Cargill from SoloFriendly.com just recently launched VegasSolo.com. Solely a resource site for lone travelers traveling to Sin City, you can plan your trip from hotels and restaurants to shows and shopping, Gray has put together an awesome site dedicated to a city that we all love to visit to unwind and she helps make the planning just as relaxing.
