Same Girl, New Twist…

I miss writing. Ask “college senior year” me, after a semester of my Native American Literature weekly book reports, if I ever thought I would say that. While you are at it, ask college me why I took Native American Literature….But over the last yearish, putting words on paper has been a good outlet, something low stakes creative that I can put into the world.  But here we are, the year of no travel 2020 really puts a damper on meeting strangers on planes and shockingly, the amount of people I am meeting in my house is limited – besides the droves of random gentleman callers… so what’s a girl to do that bases a storytelling platform (it’s not a blog) on travel woes and new seat mates?

I introduce to you…

Continental Cocktails

I have a slight obsession with purchasing books, casual patio drinks and the United States of America.  So you can imagine my delight when I came across “The United States of Cocktails”, it practically was written for me. A book of fun facts about cocktails in the region, fun bars and of course, recipes.  One of my goals by the time I was 30 was to travel to all 48 continental United States. Although I am now 35, I know I don’t look a day over 21, I still have 7 states left.  

How amazing would it be for a 2021 adventure to be hitting up those last couple states in real time!? The worlds are aligning, “View from Row 15” meets “Continental Cocktails” meets “Post-pandemic chatty travel buddies” – I can’t think that far ahead, it gets me too excited for normalcy.  So grab your shakers, stirrers and favorite mixer because we are going to explore the US one, boozy memory at a time!  Boozy memory sounds like an oxymoron, by the way.

So join me over the next year to wet your whistle (you thought you hated my airplane puns….) with knowledge you didn’t know you needed, great drinks and peppering in some of my favorite travel stories from all over these great United States, with hopes of real life travel stories to come!

Where will week one take us???  See you next Wednesday to find out!
