Jan Gets a Blog!
I realized one of my long-time goals and launched my Girl on the Go blog covering travel-related news, events in Atlanta and relationships. Check out other blogs from travelgirl contributors here.

Colorado Calling

Under the category of something you will never see me doing is Ice Racing. But how cool does this look? Jeep Ice Races are held every weekend in January and February on Georgetown Lake, which is transformed into a racetrack. All you need is a driver's license, a four-wheel or all-drive vehicle and a belief that you won't fall through the ice. Which is the part I don't have. For info check out
www.ourgangiceracing.com. Other winter adventures in Colorado include ice climbing, snowshoeing under moonlight and Ice sailing. Check out the current issue of Travelgirl for plenty more on Colorado.

Songwriters in
South Walton

 

More than 100 songwriting greats will be performing in 17 venues at the second annual 30-A Songwriters Festival. 30-A is the highway that connects15 of the most gorgeous beaches you'll ever see, along the Florida Panhandle. The festival is January 14-16, with songwriters that include Emily Saliers of the Indigo Girls and Tim McGraw. If that's not enough of a draw, consider that right now it's 67 degrees there.

Park, Sleep Fly

 

Love this idea - ParkSleepFly offers park and stay deals at more than 1500 hotels in more than 129 airports in the U.S. Canada and Europe. You get one night's stay, free parking for one to two weeks and free shuttle to your gate. When you consider how much you can save on parking alone, this is a great deal. Plus consider your lower stress level from not racing across town in traffic in the early-morning hours. Check it out at parksleepfly.com
