But seriously.  I’ll be back to Expatriette.com full time in 2008.  In the meantime, I’m editing Expatriette, the novel/girl’s guide to mod travel (due out in winter 2008).  And reading lots of travel blogs.  My current favorite:  Jetlagged:  Navigating the Unfriendly Skies.  A close runner-up is Patrick Smith’s Ask the Pilot, which makes me snort or giggle every time I read it.  Read it for his humor and fresh perspective on air travel.  A pilot friend has assured me it’s “pretty much spot on.”

Thank you for all of the friendly emails recently (most of them reminding me what an awesome resource Expatriette is)!  I’ll be back to a regular posting schedule in the New Year and invite anyone interested in writing a column on a regular basis to contact me at info {at} expatriette {dot} com.

 Best wishes for a wonderful, travel-savvy holiday season!
