Greetings and Salutations!

I am back from our fantastic gathering in San Diego! We had a blast - the hotel was gorgeous, the seminars were informative, and the editors were fantastic! We will be posting notes, photos, and other information in the coming days. Thank you to everyone who participated both live and via Skype!

I'm now busy finalizing plans for the upcoming London gathering, which happens in just over two weeks! The London gathering will be the weekend of August 5-7. I will send out more details on that in the coming days.

While I'm finalizing my own travel plans, could each editor who's planning on attending London please take a look at the San Diego schedule -

Write to me and let me know what your top priorities are for what you'd like to learn in London, and also let me know what date/times you'll be in attendance. That way I can create a schedule for London that ensures each person learns what they want to learn during the hours they'll be there!

I do have mail to catch up on, and I will start working on that as soon as I get my flights settled!

If anyone else from the US is interested in going to London, flights appears to be at a near all time low for this weekend period. Bing.com has a really cool fare history chart. In Bing's words, "Fare History charts the lowest fare observed each day for your trip. In other words, it's as if you would have searched for this trip every day and plotted the lowest fare actually available." It's a great tool to track flight prices. So it looks like it's good that I waited to buy, until the gas price craziness settled down a bit. I'll be doing that tonight, and then we'll go from there!

Have a great week!
