Writing Project Wrap-up
Posted May 13th, 2007 by Sheila
I tried to keep up, but between flying to Chicago for a blogging conference and the reality of 893 submissions for the latest ProBlogger Group Writing Project, I am a somewhat abject failure at keeping track of noteworthy worldwide blog posts on the Top 5 topic.
Still, I slog onward.
After some other favorite selections (mostly travel-related) from Day One and Day Two, here is the last group of posts that I particularly liked (the full list is here.) Thanks to all of the Project participants who linked back and/or pinged back to the Perceptive Travel Blog — new friends are always good.

Top 5 Reasons Hawaii is the Best Vacation Spot in the World by Sheila Beal (My first Navy ship was homeported in Pearl Harbor. Not too shabby to drive around Oahu in my 1973 Ford Gran Torino with sandy flip-flops and a swimsuit tossed into the trunk….just in case.)

We will now return to regularly scheduled programming….

As ever, an eclectic Sheila mix. I just can’t figure out how to fit the India trip in this summer. Glad you had fun!

Hi NAREED,
I’m nothing if not eclectic — much nicer than schizo, don’t you think? :)
Thanks so much for visiting us!
