Welcome! Not only is “Some Like It Hot” the name of our new blog here at Travel South USA, it is also one of my favorite movies of all time. You know the one with Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon where the guys dress up as women to escape the mob? It is an absolute classic from beginning to end and I just can’t get tired of it. Of course they headed South to Florida. Who wouldn’t escape New York for the warm, sexy South? Especially, a place like Florida. Plus, I just love character names like “Sugar,” “Sweet Sue,” “Spats” and “Toothpick Charlie.” In fact, my co-workers often laugh at me for saying “Whoops-a-daisy” which I completely and utterly blame on this gem of a movie.
All of this is leading me back to my main point, welcome to our new blog! The “Some Like It Hot” blog is meant to be your online train ticket to all things Southern. Recipes, travel tips, dining guides, things to do, things to see, articles of interest – it’ll all be here and waiting on you.
Most importantly, I need you to contribute! What are your favorite Southernisms? Favorite Southern recipes, chefs, restaurants, artists, sites, sounds, flavours? Did you take a trip to the South lately? Try a new town? Lemme hear about it. Sit down and blog awhile. Help me, help you.
As Marilyn/Sugar Kane says, I hope you like me find the South and this blog about the South to be “a real diamond. Worth it’s weight in gold.”
Until next time…
