We’re Part of Lonely Planet’s New Featured Bloggers Program

Posted on February 16th, 2010 :: Posted in Announcement

 

2 Comments »

 

Lonely Planet had a good idea. Find an easy way to work with the best travel blogs out there to A) add fresh, new content to the LP site and B) help boost awareness about the greatest travel blogs on the web. So they created the new Featured  Blogger program.

Lonely Planet Featured Blogger.

Even better? Our Trans-Americas Journey blog was  just accepted as a featured blog.  Our blog will continue to work the way it always has, only now the nearly 100 posts we’ve created and put up (so far) and all new blog posts going forward will also be found on the relevant pages of the massive Lonely Planet web site. For example, our latest post about Guadalajara is on our blog and on the Guadalajara page of the LP site. A beloved older post about wineries in Paso Robles, California is now also found on the Paso Robles page of the LP site.

Sure we hope this drives traffic to our blog  but we also hope that the addition of our content (and content from other Featured Bloggers) will enrich the amount of solid, current travel information out there enabling more people to hit their own road.

Our Newest Story: Stays Under $150 – Querétaro, Mexico

Posted on January 26th, 2010 :: Posted in Announcement, Published Work

 

Leave a comment »

 

We love Querétaro in Mexico. First of all, it’s fun to say. Then there’s the history, the chic shops, the even-chicer refugees from Mexico City and the wine ice. So it was with particular pleasure that we quite literally stumbled upon a lovely B&B in downtown Queretaro called Casa del Atrio. It wasn’t even quite open when the proud owners showed us around but even then it was clear that this was/is a special place to stay in a special city to visit.

December 25th marked the 1,095th active day of our Trans-Americas Journey out here on the road (not counting the various brief periods we’ve spent in one place). For the math impaired, that’s three years!  And, yes, we still haven’t gotten any further south than Mexico…..

Happy holidays, happy new year and happy travels to all!


Christmas, mexico City style.

Our Newest Story: New New Year’s Eve Bashes

Posted on December 14th, 2009 :: Posted in Announcement, Published Work

 

Leave a comment »

 

We’re from New York City. We love New York City. The annual dropping of the ball on New Year’s Eve is an absolutely great New York City tradition.

However, there are other great places to ring in the New Year.

If you want to head for a new country for New Year’s Eve, check out our review of Casa de Mita in Nayarit, Mexico. A handful of sexy luxe rooms, cozy beach location, great service, all inclusive rates that include alcohol and a swim up bar that will change your mind about swim up bars make this a great international New Year’s Eve escape.

Research for our latest story for Every Day with Rachael Ray magazine lead us to four US cities–Telluride, Monterey, Tempe and New Orleans–that throw travel-worthy New Year’s Eve celebrations.

Read it here first!
