Well, I've had some luck and picked up a few awards covering the Middle East (and travel) for National Public Radio and the Christian Science Monitor, and enjoyed my stint as editor in chief of The Robb Report, and travel editor for Travel Weekly.

But the most fun I've had has been with Family Travel Forum and working with my good friend and colleague, Kyle McCarthy. 

I can remember when the site was just getting off the ground. In fact most web sites were &quot;just getting off the ground&quot; but hers was the first family travel one, and remains the best!

Recently I've embraced video with a couple of colleagues and created with them the Travel Video PostCard series, one-minute, sound-rich Travel Video PostCards with the emotional feel of a postcard and that transport the viewer instantly to a place.

These are on FTF and at www.travelvideopostcard.com
and about a million web pages and web sites globally. They pretty much dominate the Travel Video space.

But I'm very glad to be back here, at FTF, providing what I hope are useful and maybe even provocative blogs to the community.

I do hope to hear from you!
