The A to Z April Challenge requires bloggers to post through the alphabet: 26 days, 26 letters, 26 posts starting with the theme of A on April 1st. As April has thirty days Sunday is designated as a day of rest. I won't be travelling during the month of April so I should be able to manage the challenge.
I enjoy this annual challenge for several reasons: it forces me to write and gives me an audience for my ponderings, it offers me opportunities to reflect on my activities, it connects me with a community of bloggers from around the world and it teaches me about other people's interests and cultures through the many April Challenge posts they share.
As I travel the world I take many photos that pique my interest. During the year April 2025 to March 2026 our travels included visits to many islands large and small. My theme for 2026 Island Hopping will give precedence to Islands visited in the past year but for those difficult letters like X and Z I will dig into my photo archives for content.
This year for the first time I created in Canva a personalised banner of my posts that fits in with the theme of my blog. I also enlisted the help of ChatGPT to create a series of A to Z tiles for each day of the challenge.

I almost missed this Jill. I'm so pleased that you're joining in the fun again and with a great theme. Looking forward to reading about your travels
