Remembering Your “First”

No Comments
Y’know how sometimes, no matter how good your most recent experience is, you find yourself reminiscing about your first? The one that opened your eyes to a world you didn’t know existed before?
Oh, stop. I’m talking about the first destination you traveled to, people.
I talk about Italy all the time, on this blog, on BootsnAll’s [...]
Re-Evaluating Travel Assumptions
Date: October 7th, 2009 | 1 comment
I’ve spent quite a bit of time on this blog lately talking about Las Vegas, from how I don’t like the city to preparing for my upcoming trip there, and frankly when I found out I’d be going to Vegas this year it was so long ago it felt like the trip itself would never [...]

If you’ve been paying attention to this blog, you may remember my recent posts about how I’m not the biggest Las Vegas fan in the world - and then how I found out I was speaking at a conference in (of course) Las Vegas. What I failed to mention then was details about the conference. [...]

I just flew back from Italy this past week, and although I’m always interested in an adventure and really can’t wait until I’m back in Italy again, I’m quite content to be hanging out with my cats and sleeping in my own bed for now. I used to be a better traveler than this, but [...]

It feels like only yesterday I was packing up and returning back home after spending a month house-sitting for a friend in Milan… And yet here I am back again, subjecting myself to the torture that is Milan in August, so that I could sign a few papers and add to my Italian red tape [...]

If you’ve read the bios for all the folks who work at BootsnAll (and I know you have), then you’ll have noticed that I’m not exactly what you might think of as the typical BootsnAll member. All my boots, as I’m fond of saying, have stiletto heels. Until last year, I’d never stayed in a [...]

Wanna know what happens when you get 1400ish people in one hotel using the same wireless network? Said wireless network gets achingly slow, often cutting out altogether. So, it was just a few minutes into the travel session at BlogHer 2009 when I gave up trying to update Twitter with all the stuff being discussed [...]

I returned late the other night from a road trip into Northern British Columbia that I took with my mother. I’m still tired, playing catch-up with emails and work, thoroughly enjoying sleeping in my own bed… And yet I’m not really bothering to unpack much because I’m about to head off on a trip back [...]

One of the things that tends to happen when I talk to people about my job at BootsnAll is the, "Oh, you're so lucky!" moment. I do consider myself extremely fortunate to be able to write about travel every day - to do something I love so much that work doesn't feel …
[Read more] Member Spotlight
Those of you who read the BootBlog may remember my recent musings on how online friends become real-life friends. What some of you who read that article may not know is that I heard from several BootsnAll members after it was published who said, "Yeah, that's interesting and all, but we've been doing that for years now." And it's … [Read more]
Events
Awhile back I posted here about getting into the Boston Globe Travel Show for free. Turns out that was for the trade conference during the day on Friday Feb 19th, not the travel show for regular consumers like you and me that runs from the evening of Friday, February 19 to …
