For you local Imprint fans, I have several speaking engagements scheduled in the next couple months. At the Savvy Traveler in Edmonds I'll be extolling the virtues of New Zealand (10AM) and Bali (1PM) on Sat. Nov 2 and India (10AM) and Thailand (1PM) on Nov. 23. I'll again be taking virtual travelers to Bali on Tues. Nov. 12 and Thailand Tues. Dec. 10 - both at Wide World Books and Maps in Wallingford. For anyone considering any of these destinations, its a great opportunity to see some images and get a taste for these intriguing countries. And I love seeing familiar faces in the audience. In January we'll be holding our annual Imprint Tours Alumni Potluck Dinner: Sat Jan. 18 starting at 5:30PM. Its a great gathering of "intentional" travelers - a time to reminisce, share photos, and talk about the next great Imprint adventure. There is a mailing list for the potluck - if you didn't get an invite last year and want to be added, please contact me at info@imprinttours.com. I hope to see lots of you there. Reid
