After many months of planning and preparation, it’s just about time to go to Italy. So now I’m going to start packing. Let’s see: I need to leave room in the suitcase for souvenirs such as scarves, Venetian glass jewelry and chocolate. Well, never mind the chocolate. It rarely makes it home.

I’m so honored to receive the Kreativ Blogger Award! I was nominated by three wonderful bloggers : Two Black Dogs, Sheila Hurst, and Renee’s Revelings. I want to thank them for choosing me!
The rules of this award are:
Two Black Dogs is one of the first blogs I followed when I started blogging. Sam writes about her wonderful dogs as well as Italy and Australia, and her pictures are beautiful! I always want to know what she has to say.
Renee’s Revelings is about family, crafts (including how to make a tooth fairy pillow), recipes, and sweet stories about her grandson. Take a look!
Sheila Hurst has a blog I really enjoy! Being from Massachusetts myself, I especially like that she lives on Cape Cod. You’ll find thoughtful stories, poetry, and pictures related to travel, the ocean, and more!
About me:
I visited Yellowstone National Park on a family vacation when I was ten.
I wish it would only snow once per winter!
I like maps, globes, and atlases.
I’m usually reading several books at the same time (sometimes I even finish them).
I’m looking forward to visiting Provence the next time I go to France.
When I don’t know the meaning of a word I look it up in the dictionary. Most of the time.
I could never choose between gelato and chocolate.
And here are my 7 nominees:
You all have great blogs and I’m happy to pass the Kreativ Blogger Award to you! If you’ve already received this award, simply accept my tribute to your blog. And congratulations! Meg

Many of my trips involve travel by airplane, and sometimes I have connecting flights. This leads to quite a bit of time spent in airport terminals. I know I should just go the gate and find a place to sit. But here’s what actually happens.

I discovered this market while I was in Philadelphia last month. It was around noon and I was getting hungry, so I walked through the Reading Terminal Market searching for a place to eat lunch. Let’s just say there was lots of food here!
There were plenty of places to sit down for a sandwich (or anything else you might want for lunch). And there was a variety of other things to buy, from candy to fresh vegetables. I had a great time strolling through the market and looking at the booths. Here is some of what I saw:

I was in Chicago a few weeks ago. One of my favorite destinations there is the Lincoln Park Zoo. It’s actually in the city, so when you look around you can see many tall buildings. In fact, the parking area gives you a view of some of the city’s skyscrapers.
