In my post “Why Bonnie should win…” I told the tale of Bonnie and I attending Blog World Expo last year for the first time. We attended seminars and the exhibits throughout the conference. We didn’t play hooky to see the town or gamble as it was so exciting to be there.

Last year, Bonnie and I went to our first BlogWorld Expo and our first New Media conference of any kind. We were looking for a new type of business – something that would excite our ever-curious minds.

Last day at sea for the first leg of my voyage. Thank God. It’s just a couple of days too much. Rick and I met with our group and then took them to the Disembarkation Briefing and Crew Farewell. The staff here have been totally confused by the fact that Rick [...]
