You might find it amusing to take a safari while traveling the Serengeti, but you may want to hang about and enjoy the view from the Land Rover unless you like the idea of being an appetizer!

Well, it’s winter in Portland, no matter what the calendar says. The weather’s beyond just “chilly” these days, and some of the leaves haven’t even had time to change color before they’re already falling off the trees. The clincher, though, is that pretty much everyone in the office is either sick right now, or has [...]
[read more]New Feature on the BootsnAll Boards: Tags
Date: June 15th, 2007 | No Comments
I’m exceptionally pleased to announce that something we had talked about at last year’s year-end meeting has been rolled out today on the BootsnAll boards - tags. For all you bloggers out there, they’re the same kind of tags you already know and love. And for anyone who thinks I’m talking about those things in [...]

I really love my job, but I’m kind of wondering if I should quit for the month of May so I can take part in this:
“The biggest news of the summer is the launch of the BootsnAll Treasure Hunt. Every week for the month of May registered Hunters will have the opportunity to win awesome [...]
Infecting Your Kids With the Travel Bug

I’m not a parent, so I don’t know how this works first-hand, but it seems that if you loved to travel your kids could either be as excited about getting on a plane as you are, or they could be really peeved at you every time you showed them their tickets. I don’t know what [...]

I’m back to working in the office for the next few weeks (or months, not sure yet) after having worked at home since last September, and it’s a nice change. I mean, I love my cats, but they won’t converse with me. At least my coworkers will. I think.
So far, the biggest adjustment in coming [...]
Letter to a Young Travel Writer
Date: April 2nd, 2007 | 1 comment
I saw this link on the BootsnAll boards today, and it amused me. So I’m sharing it with you. Yes, it would certainly appear that the job of “travel writer” would be a dream job - the life of leisure, and all that. While being a travel writer beats the hell out of some jobs [...]
[read more]What is BootBlog?
BootBlog is the company blog of the BootsnAll Travel Network, a company that has been connecting travellers since 1998. Our goal is to inspire, educate and cultivate an organic community of independent travellers. But what does that mean? Well, we love to travel and we love to connect other travellers who have the desire to get out and see this great world of ours. BootBlog will showcase what is going on around the office, around the company and within our community of travellers.Top Categories

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 …
