Hello from Chicago, where I cannot even begin to process this week.
Many airports 
+ dark TV studios 
= I'm not sure yet
To give a bit of context to the week, there has been a huge influx of media attention here on the blog, but more particularly on my travel consulting service. Receiving more than 100 times the typical amount of traffic on our site has resulted in tech problems I don't even understand, though thankfully others do. I'm grateful for my amazing colleagues on a daily basis, but even more so this week, and can't imagine what my life would look like right now without them.
In the meantime, I've flown from Los Angeles to Tampa to New York to Chicago, and have been on the phone or in front of a camera nearly constantly.
It's all very surreal.
I'll have more thoughts on everything happening once I've had a chance to catch my breath, I promise.
I have two other promises as well:
- Long term, nothing on the blog will change. I'm excited that we've been able to provide some entry-level content -- I too often write as though everyone has read every post since 2008 -- but circles and arrows will never be the norm around here.
- I have no plans to stop blogging, nor to hire a bunch of ghostwriters. Blogging is my absolute passion, and I truly love writing and engaging every day. This week is just insane, and not an indication of a new direction.
