Favorite Travel Memories from 2008

2008 was an eventful year for me personally and for DeliciousBaby. Both kids were old enough to start really enjoying our trips (instead of just enjoying the uninterrupted time with mom & dad). Even with high airfares, a poor exchange rate, and the beginnings of an economic downturn, we managed to take some very rewarding trips. But of course, it's not hotels and plane flights that make for lasting travel memories, and I thought it would be fun to share some of my favorite travel moments from 2008

Going to the BlogHer conference and meeting so many amazing Women Travel Bloggers and other women bloggers. When I arrived, I didn't know a single person (but had a short list of people I knew I wanted to meet) it's amazing to think about how many more people I'll "know" this year.
