 Email This Post 1st in line to ask for Exit Row Seating on my 1st trip to South Africa in 2007 Hey Adventurers,I’m on assignment again in South Africa! It’s the culmination of a project I’ve been working on for 2 years, so I have a great sense of satisfaction to see it come to a conclusion. I”ll be here for a few weeks wrapping it up. I leave today! I have no idea what adventures I’m going to have – with the exception of a trip to Victoria Falls in Zambia in June. So if you want to follow me – click here. Leave a comment, beautiful. |

Life has moved on since the Ultimate Thailand Explorers Competition. There are new countries to explore, places to visit and things to do. When the announcement was made in January that we won “Best Sponsor Promotion”, a prize packet was sent to the house. It was loaded with great prizes. So I thought I would quickly share with what we took home… Bangkok
Phuket

Email This PostToday’s post is Part 2 of a 4-part series. If you’d like to read yesterday’s post about the Ultimate Thailand Explorers Application Period, click here. Today we’ll talk about the Semi-Finalists Voting Period. The Semi-Finalists Voting PeriodIn mid-October, 2009 the Tourism Authority of Thailand selected 5 teams from each of 5 cities (Pattaya, Bangkok, Koh Samui, Phuket and Chiang Mai) to be voted on by Internet users worldwide. We were selected as 1 of these 25 teams from over 356 applicants in 59 countries. Internet users had roughly 3 weeks to vote on who they wanted to send to Thailand. They could vote for 1 team, from each city every 24 hours. Leave a comment, beautiful. |

Email This PostIt’s been a week of catch up around the website. I’ve been tinkering with some settings, building a facebook fan page and strategizing where to take this blog in 2010. I can’t wait for everything to fall in place, but it will take some time. While the period to talk about New Year’s Resolutions with a hint of timeliness has passed, this is really my first chance since January 1st that I’ve had the time to blog. A well-deserved vacation was needed. But it’s back to work and here’s what’s in store for 2010. My resolutions, in no particular order are… One smart thought |
