Where in the World is Rebecca Today? » Website http://www.blog.beccajanestclair.com Travelog Mon, 06 Feb 2012 08:12:32 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 I’m Married! http://www.blog.beccajanestclair.com/2009/12/im-married/ http://www.blog.beccajanestclair.com/2009/12/im-married/#comments Sun, 06 Dec 2009 04:54:04 +0000 Rebecca http://www.blog.beccajanestclair.com/?p=741 You might be wondering why this blog has been so dead lately, even after I promised more entries. Well, as I posted before, Tim proposed to me while we were visiting him in September….and we decided to get married in November! Of this year. Yep. I got married on 5 November 2009. Also known as Guy Fawkes Day or Bonfire Day, so there will always be fireworks and Tim can never forget our anniversary :D

This also means I’ll be making the permanent move over to the UK within the next month or so. This blog will NOT go away. It will probably become more of a “life in the UK” type blog with traveling mixed in there…and I still have a list of things I really ought to catch up on, like my mom and my trip back in September! I missed out on NaBloPoMo or whatever it was called since I was planning a wedding, getting married, and then honeymooning for half of it, but I think I’m going to challenge myself to blog daily until the end of December….or until I catch things up, whichever comes first!

Our wedding was beautiful, and everything we wanted it to be. I will copy/paste over the post I made to the Wedding Plan community shortly for everyone to read who missed it. We honeymooned in Florida, so expect some posts about that eventually, too!

How exciting! My blog was originally started so that my mom (and other family/friends) could keep up with what I was doing while I was spending two months in Manitoba and whatever other trips I took. This expanded into becoming a log about 6 months traveling/visiting the UK, then into including video logs, personal stories, etc.

In 2008, I visited 5 countries (if you count England and Wales separately), and in 2009 so far I’ve visited 2 (and plan on adding France (okay, it’s just for a layover), Wales, and Ireland by the end of 2009). In the year that this blog has spanned so far I’ve spent 2/3 of the year outside of the United States! That’s pretty impressive for me.

So what’s in store for the blog for the next year? I’m not really sure. There’s a week in DC coming up while Tim is visiting, followed by 2 weeks in Ireland and the UK this fall, and then after that….we’ll see where it goes. Current plans are to spend Spring/Summer 2010 in the UK, but I hate having such a long gap between visits!

If I’m not actively traveling, I intend on updating the blog at least once/week with articles about traveling, and maybe some local or personal entries so the updates don’t die.

To all of you who have been reading this: Thank you. I hope you continue to read and please leave me comments! I love hearing what you think.

Don’t forget, you don’t need to come directly to my blog in order to read it. You can subscribe to the RSS feed in your favourite RSS reader, add the LJ RSS feed if you are on LJ, or read the entries on my Facebook. Comments are always welcome, just remember if you are reading it via the LJ RSS to head over to the blog site to leave a comment. The LJ comment feature doesn’t actually send comments to me, it only shows them to other LJers.

I put it behind the more tag, but I don’t think those tags work on the RSS feeds. Sorry!

Welcome to my Travel Blog! Here you will find details about the trips I have gone on, tips for traveling, links, and other things related to traveling and my life as a traveler. I created this blog originally for my family, so they would be able to keep up with my life as I was abroad for nearly 8 months recently, however my blog has grown to include local trips as well as long-distance trips.

This blog is syndicated on Live Journal at Rebecca’s Travels and also is syched with my Facebook profile for the ease of my friends and family. If you add the LiveJournal feed, please remember to always click on the links to come directly to my site to leave comments, as I won’t see the comments left on LJ.

I am a freelance writer, and have been published in both print and digital formats. If you are interested in re-printing a blog post or having me elaborate on a subject previously blogged about, please feel free to contact me. I am available to hire either on a permanent basis or as a freelance contributor for your site or publication. I am in the process of digitalizing my portfolio and will provide pdf copies of printed articles if requested.

All photographs on this site have been taken by and are © Flutterby Design/Rebecca J Slominsky unless otherwise noted.

I also am a regular contributor on Associated Content. If you’d like to reprint any of my articles published there, you will need to contact Associated Content directly.

I love link backs. If you post a link to one of my blogs, please let me know so I can add a link back to you, too!

I’ve also been asked verbally to do the UK write-ups, so expect more posts coming :) Maybe I’ll even get them finished before my next trip over! :D

Though then if you want to leave a comment, you’d have to come over to the page anyway, so I’m not sure which is the better option. You decide.
