Space Goddess

Okay, I really wanted a blog and now I’m terrified because I have one! This is virgin territory for me—which leads me to explain the name of my blog, Space Goddess and Other Worldly Pursuits: Recently, I’ve been selected by Virgin Galactic, one of Sir Richard Branson’s companies, to become an ASA, Accredited Space Agent. After completing my training at the Kennedy Space Center last week, I can now officially help you experience a journey into space! Members of Virgin Galactic’s team sported shirts that read, “Space is Virgin territory!” Well, blogging is new to me and, to be perfectly honest, I’m more comfortable reserving you a seat on Virgin Galactic’s Space Ship 2! So, please be patient and bear with me while I learn and grow!

Some of the things I hope to include on my blog: restuarants you’ve discovered in your travels; great shopping opportunities; off-the-beaten track “I need to visit…”; tips and tricks; travel journals; travel photos (which will also be featured on our website www.greatgetaways.travel ( FYI–soon to debut a whole new look and new features!); quotations about travel; and any other category yet to be named!

I’ll start the “Travel Quotations” category with 3 of my fave’s:

“The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page.” –St. Augustine

“I am not the same having seen the moon shine on the other side of the world.” –unknown

“Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all peoples cry, laugh, eat, worry, and die, it can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each other, we may even become friends.” — Maya Angelou

TTFN–tag, you’re It!
