BNT adds new editor, Ian fades into the shadows.
Years ago, I wrote a short story called “The Attic.” I had been reading too much Stephen King at the time, reflected in the subject matter of my own character (a homicidal maniac who kept forgetting his crimes).
But while the story is, sadly, forgettable, I still believe the theory I explored is sound.
T’is the season of good cheer and cold nights. T’is the season of caroling and twinkling lights. T’is the season to buy, buy, buy.
As much as I enjoy the season, I find myself recoiling from the wanton consumption of the holidays. It’s not like people already don’t have enough things.
Yet all attempts to suppress buying more are swept aside in the spirit of “giving” and to opt out is to face scorn or worse, labeled “cheap.”
Paraphrased from an outline by Nat Geo:?
1. ?determine?how well you know the host (s).
2. ?don’t overstay you’re welcome.?
3. ?accommodate your hosts’ schedule.
4. ?don’t expect a free tour guide.
5. ?bring your own toiletries.
6. ?control your kids!
7. ?clean up after yourself.
8. ?help with meal prep.
9. ?don’t eat (or drink) them “out of house and home”.
10.remember to be courteous….. bring a gift!

Now almost one year old, your favourite travel web-zine is expanding!
I’ve had the privilege of hiring two new members to our team:
Tim Patterson (Co-Editor) - You may know Tim from his weekly Tales from the Road roundups and his articles in various magazines like Get Lost and now SF Chronicle.
Tim will help edit and prepare new BNT articles for publishing, which saves me from being buried under the avalanche of great content that you’re all sending in.
