This Week in IT

Where have we gone this week? (And where has this week gone? It's Friday already!)

IT followed a chocolate-powered journey through the Sahara, and we were ready to dive into a wine spa in Japan.

Our interest was "kindle"-d in a new e-book created by Amazon, and a collection of green guidebooks being put out by publishers.

And though it feels like we're forever green, we were pleased to hear that the Rockefeller Christmas evergreen – decked out in LED bulbs – is greener than ever.

We contemplated the demise of gayborhoods, and the impact of tourism on the Antarctic. And we celebrated the cooperation between African lodge owners and the Maasai community, and cheered the return of the New Orleans streetcar named St. Charles.

AND we were named one of the Travel Blog Rising Stars by Christopher Elliott, so thanks to Chris for the love!

And thanks to you for reading this week, and if you haven't already, please remember to subscribe to this blog's feed.
