Boldly Go Solo

Rumor has it that the Society of American Travel Writers' Atlantic Caribbean Chapter has awarded "Boldly Go Solo" second place in the blog category during its annual awards ceremony.

I did not attend the meeting so am relying on hearsay. Very good hearsay, however. My friend, Diane, another travel writer, (check out her travel blog) attended the conference in Charleston, S.C., and heard it with her very own ears. (Very good ears, from what I remember, from yakking with her at the various SATW conferences we've attended in Houston; Manchester, England; and Santiago, Chile, to name a few.)

This is exciting! I'd like to thank all the little people, and my parents, who made this all possible and … oops, is that the "get the music" hook I'm hearing…??

Update, 6-11: I just learned that the judges were members of the Journalism School faculty at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill. Thank you, UNC judges!
