Meet Brenda Lange and Her RV Travel Story

Oct 28, 2024 | thevirgintraveler.com | Lisa Iannucci

Brenda and I have known each other for a long time, having met through a writer’s organization we belonged to Years ago, when I mentioned to her that I always wanted to own an RV one day, she shared that so did she! Fast forward and Brenda fulfilled her dream and has been RV traveling in ‘Rover’ for a few years now. Brenda turns 65 in January and I asked her to share her inspiring story with me. If you don’t mind me asking, how old are you?
My First Trip to The Morgan Library & Museum

Jul 31, 2024 | thevirgintraveler.com | Lisa Iannucci

Last Christmas, my daughter surprised me with tickets to see Boy George in Moulin Rouge! on Broadway. The show was at 7 p.m. so I had time to do what I, as the Virgin Traveler, do best: explore something new. This time I picked The Morgan Library & Museum, located at Madison Avenue and 36th Street in New York City. Of course, I needed something to eat, so I researched some more and found the retro Ellen’s Stardust Diner, where the servers sing! Did I enjoy the museum and my dinner and the show?
My First Visit to the Gregg Museum in Raleigh, North Carolina

Jul 27, 2024 | thevirgintraveler.com | Lisa Iannucci

A few months ago, I went to Raleigh, North Carolina for the first time to attend my niece’s wedding. I didn’t have much time to explore, but like the Virgin Traveler that I am, I had to find something to explore. My daughter, Samantha, came with me and since we both love museums and free things to do, we went to the Gregg Museum of Art & Design at North Carolina State University. This museum appears small when you first enter, but it is chock-filled with so many great pieces of art.
My First Trip to Old Scottsdale, Arizona

Jul 5, 2024 | thevirgintraveler.com | Lisa Iannucci

On my three-week road trip to WrestleMania 39 last year, I stopped in Scottsdale, Arizona for two nights. I had a day off from traveling so I made plans to meet a friend of mine for lunch before my son and I flew to California. So I had a few hours to spend in Old Scottsdale, Arizona. I forgot to post about this and wanted to share what a cute and lovely place Old Scottsdale is to visit no matter how much time you have.
My First Sony Pictures Studio Tour Was So Much Fun!

Jul 2, 2024 | thevirgintraveler.com | Lisa Iannucci

(Reprinted from my other blog, Reel Travels Magazine with some minor edits.) I love love love any kind of tour or museum that has film or television memorabilia. So I knew on my three-week road trip to WrestleMania 39, I had to stop and take a Sony Pictures Studio Tour. (Years and years ago I took a Universal Studios Tour when I went to California to see Hollywood for the first time.
The Reluctant Traveler with Eugene Levy is a Must-See

Jul 1, 2024 | thevirgintraveler.com | Lisa Iannucci

I was done bingeing The Morning Show on Apple TV+ (so good!) and was looking for something else to watch when I stumbled across The Reluctant Traveler, twice. Let’s just call me the reluctant viewer. I didn’t think this would be a show for me. I was wrong. And if you haven’t seen it, you must. Why? Well, the premise is simple.
My First Visit to The Broad in Los Angeles, California

Jun 7, 2024 | thevirgintraveler.com | Lisa Iannucci

Last year on my three-week road trip to California to see WrestleMania 39 (bucket list item!), my son and I went to The Broad in Los Angeles. We visited The Grand a few days earlier and enjoyed it, so my son suggested this museum too. The good news was that my knee felt better (I had tweaked it earlier in the trip) so walking around The Broad was easier for me to do. (This enormous camera greets you when you walk into The Broad.
My First Trip to the Getty Museum in Los Angeles, California

Apr 30, 2024 | thevirgintraveler.com | Lisa Iannucci

Last year when I took my three-week road trip from New York to California for WrestleMania 39, my son and I decided to visit the J. Paul Getty Museum (not to be confused with its sister site, the Getty Villa). He had visited before and wanted me to see it. He also loved The Broad, so we checked that out too. Now this was an interesting part of my trip because I used a cane to get around. That’s because things can go wrong on a trip and I had an unexpected setback.
My First Trip to the Stafford Air & Space Museum

Apr 11, 2024 | thevirgintraveler.com | Lisa Iannucci

Just a few weeks ago, Thomas P. Stafford died at 93 years old. He was an astronaut who commanded a dress rehearsal flight for the 1969 moon landing and the first U.S.-Soviet space linkup. I had the pleasure of visiting the Stafford Air & Space Museum named after him as I drove through Weatherford, Oklahoma on my three-week road trip across America. Truth be told, my significant other LOVES anything that has to do with space, so I made it a point to put this on our itinerary just for him.
My First Trip to the Museum of Broadway in New York City!

Apr 6, 2024 | thevirgintraveler.com | Lisa Iannucci

Since I was little and took out albums (yes, vinyl albums LOL) from the library, I have always loved musicals and Broadway. I would take different ones out each week and learn the songs without even seeing the shows. The first Broadway show I saw in person was with my mom and it was The Tap Dance Kid. I’ve seen many since then and I’m always singing songs and have playlists devoted to musicals, so visiting the Museum of Broadway in New York City was a no-brainer.
