2009 was a monumental year for me personally because of the birth of our first child (did I mention I think my wife is a super hero?). Professionally, the travel project (as I like to call it) also had a blockbuster year!  As corny as it sounds, we wouldn't have made such great strides without the dedicated efforts of some very talented people and for that I am eternally grateful.

But here’s the best part...  Even in a crappy economy, the company grew because of dedicated partners who share our enthusiasm for travel and its life changing benefits. The Travel Show Live staff grew last year because YOU watched our videos, listened to us on the radio, read our articles, followed us on Twitter, signed up for the Daily Travel Minute and, most importantly, shared our positive travel message with your friends and family.  Wow, you were very busy!!

So, in the new year, you have MY word that we will continue to provide you with the most reliable, credible and interesting travel information so you can make the most informed travel decisions.

We have a couple of major announcements coming up in the beginning of January so please keep track of us as we kick off what I believe will be one of the best years to travel in recent history.

So again, thank you and have a Happy New Year!
