I'm back...

It's rather fitting that the very last line of the post of this blog mentioned how much trouble I have keeping a journal. Turns out that the same is true of a blog. But I'm once again filled with the feeling that I really can do this. I mean, why not? Lots of other people do it, and while there are plenty of them that are better at travel writing than I will ever be, there are plenty of them that really are not.

Here are some of the things that have happened since the last time that I blogged:
- I spent three weeks in the south of India, having all kinds of amazing experiences with my amiga, Emily.
- We hosted the 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver, and I was plenty busy working with international media that came to the city to cover it.
- I spent a month in my beloved Mexico City attempting to improve my Spanish.
- I left my job at Tourism Vancouver and started my own media relations company, Fever Pitch Marketing Communications.
- I spent two weeks in Germany for a conference, and I had sparkling wine (and a whole lot of other things) every single day that I was there.

Things are different since the last time I was here. And so, I am going to try again.

I won't blog about my Fever Pitch clients, even though they're fantastic. The journalism student in me just won't let me do it. But I will likely write a lot about Vancouver, which is where I spend the most of my time. So if you stumble across this blog and have questions about Vancouver, drop me a line. I know it pretty well.

(If you're interested in what spurred me to come back, it was the TBEX '11 conference, held in Vancouver this weekend. All that talk of travel blogging just made me want to get back on board.)
