The Lonesome Traveler Hits San Francisco: Part 1

Lonesome-Traveler-SanFran-1

Well, dear readers, it’s been a while, hasn’t it?  I’m happy to report that I have not dropped off of the face of the Earth.  On the contrary, I’ve been off on a new adventure and I can’t wait to tell you about it!  One week ago, I, aka The Lonesome Traveler, took off to attend the first ever BlogHer Food conference in San Francisco, California.  With my confidence bolstered by my recent solo trip to Seattle (and because Mr. SGCC had too many work commitments), I decided to make the trip alone.  So, last Thursday, I packed up my guts (and some cute outfits) in my suitcase and headed west.

I’d never been to San Francisco or anywhere else in California before, but had always longed to visit there.  For weeks, I had been exchanging emails and tweets with my peeps – making plans to meet up for drinks, dinners, shopping, exploring and general carousing around.  When the time finally came for me to go, I was so excited I could hardly stand it!  Not even waking up before dawn followed by seven hours in an airplane, one frantic layover and a very swollen pair of feet could dampen my spirits. read more >>

Looking Back, Looking Forward

I always seem to get very introspective this time of year. I’m not sure why that is. Maybe it has something to do with closing one chapter of my life and moving on to another – leaving behind the bad and bringing along the good. …
