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 [...]

Travel Continues to Surprise Me
Date: July 28th, 2009 | 2 comments
Sometimes, all it takes is the name of a destination to get me excited about a trip. But most of the time, it’s some aspect of that destination that I fixate on. There’s usually no telling what specific thing I’m going to get excited about, and often if I try to guess which it’ll be [...]
[read more]Las Vegas: Focusing on the Positive
Date: July 24th, 2009 | 1 comment
A few weeks ago I made a mistake on this blog. I expressed gratitude to the Travel Gods that I, for the various work-related conferences I’ve attended, hadn’t been asked to go to Las Vegas.
See, I’ve been to Sin City before, but it’s really not my thing. I don’t like gambling, I can’t handle the [...]

Member Spotlight
It's been awhile since we had a BootsnAll member stop by the office. However, thank to a recent post on the message boards wondering where the Boots Crew were these days, we managed to arrange lunch with Bideshi, aka Mike (blue shirt below).
With a couple of stints working in South …

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 …
