Suzy Stumbles Over Travel: Week of August 20, 2012

By

As I get ready to head out on a weekend road trip to the glamorous destination of Nebraska, I bring you this week’s Suzy Stumbles Over Travel. In case you are new to this site, each week I ask bloggers/writers and readers to submit their favorite travel posts of the week. This can be from your own site or another writer’s piece. I read each submission, comment, tweet the article on Twitter, stumble the piece using Stumbleupon and post a link to the article on my Facebook page. The following week I select my five favorites to be featured here and the stumbling begins again into the next week.

Just a few things to keep in mind, please only submit one post per person each week. Your submission must be travel related. Please leave a link to your post in the comment box below rather than sending it to me on Twitter, Facebook, etc. You have until the end of the day on Friday to leave your submission. Anything left past Friday will be carried over into next week’s submissions. I will get busy promoting the articles by the end of the day on Sunday. Be sure to follow me on Twitter, subscribe to my stumbles on Stumbleupon and “like” me on Facebook to make sure I give your post the attention it deserves. Check back here next Monday to see if your submission made my five favorites of the week.

  3. Hi Suzy,
    Thank you for choosing my post this week! I’m glad you enjoyed it. I hope you have a nice time in Nebraska. My family is from Iowa so I’ve been to Neb. many times. I hear Omaha is getting to be quite a nice city.

    I would love for this post to get a little extra attention, especially since it applies to developing countries in general, not just Brazil: http://thisismyhappiness.com/2012/08/17/tourism-in-brazil/

    Thank you!
