Thanks Maralyn. And I appreciate that you are a supporter of social media. I came to the game late (at 54, without a portfolio or nary a clip), but my timing was perfect for the Internet travel explosion, so that's where I've focused to break into this very close-knit community. As with all new things, it sometimes takes people a while to get on board. Like Allan - I envy him his history of published articles in traditional publications, but I really believe that the traditional journalists need to get on board with electronic media or they will gradually fade away. I sometimes feel inadequate because I can't point to a huge portfolio of newspaper and magazine articles, but on the other hand, my blog now had sufficient numbers to be sought by PR firms for press trips and advertisers who pay me so I can write what I like without having to deal with the onerous task of pitching to non-responsive editors.

Thanks Maralyn: That explains why I didn't know about it. I have pretty much stayed away from anything to do with food & wine, since I don't drink, which makes it very difficult for me to participate in press trips that have any kind of focus on wine.

Hi Maralyn: Great to connect here. Thanks for friending me. OK, here's a stupid question. What is IFWTWA?

Hi Maralyn. I usually listen to and try to follow all of your excellent advice. Great to Lisa and a few others I know on this site. See you soon in Temecula.

Puerto Rico was wonderfully interesting. Really enjoyed learning about the history and culture along with touring rum distillerias and tasting all kinds of plantain dishes.

Anytime Maralyn! I hope to meet you soon. If my husband and I weren't going to be on our Honeymoon, we would have gladly signed up for Switzerland. We will be in Italy...and the most amazing coincidence: We will be in Como while Michelle and Kurt are in Lugano...a mere 20 km from each other, halfway around the world...

Thanks Maralyn. Looking forward to getting involved in Tripatini and IFWTWA.

Dear Maralyn,

Many thanks for your response. I am sorry that she is not you! However, I am delighted that you are you! Thanks for the existentialist moment.

Best wishes to you and your enterprise.

Iain R.

Have a wonderful trip, Maralyn!

Thanks Lisa. I'm delighted you liked our book. I'll be interested in hearing how you enjoy Tripatini. I'd encourage you to join the groups where you have an interest and ask for help or assistance when needed.

Best,
Maralyn

Thanks, Maralyn!

I'm looking forward to being a part of this group. Yes, I'm glad we met too, though I'm sure that I gleaned much more from you than vice versa. In fact, you are the reason I joined Tripatini.

Have had to put my book on hold for a number of reasons, but did read yours cover to cover and loved it. Can't wait to implement. Things have been wild ever since we returned from the cruise but, nonetheless, I am ever the optimist about, well, pretty much everything. :)

Thanks again... more later.

Maralyn. . .exactly. . .and I'm the one who met Joe (blanking on his last name whose a member of your group) in LA .. ..hope to see you again soon.. .Best, Patty

Hi Maralyn, good to hear from you. We met in Phoenix last year. Hope all is well.Best, Patty

Hi Emma,
Congratulations for being elected vice-pesident of BATW. Thank you for your e-mail and I will use it.
Best,
Maralyn

Hi Maralyn,
Thank you so much for your warm welcome. I've been eyeing IFWTWA for some time now. I write restaurant, wine and food-related reviews at least once a month in addition to my regular bi-weekly travel articles. I was just elected vice-president of BATW and joined NATJA this year. Happy to join your group and hope to join the organization in the near future, too! My direct email for future contacts: editor.krasov@gmail.com
Thanks,
Emma Krasov

Hello Maralyn,
Nice to 'E' meet you! Unfortunately I don't represent Cyprus. However I worked for one of their leading five star resort properties for some years. Aphrodite Hills is a glorious property near Paphos. If you were looking to visit I would be delighted to connect you with their PR people.
