Last week publisher Francis X. Gallagher and director of sales Bill Lodzinski joined me in Los Angeles for a few days of meetings and learning about our partners’ 2020 initiatives. I personally enjoy when our team comes to Los Angeles; it’s fun to try new restaurants around the city I typically don’t get out to and share a little bit of my hometown with the team.
As the warm weather cooled a bit last week, I opted to meet our clients Taiwan Tourism Bureau at the Garden Rooftop restaurant at The Peninsula Beverly Hills. Sitting in front of the gorgeous lounge and pool area covered with umbrellas, it’s a great lunch spot and even fun for people-watching. I was able to snap a photo of all of us as we presented the 2019 Trazees award for Best Adventure Destination.
Overall, it was a great trip, and I look forward to my next fall meetings in New York, Mexico City, Seoul and Singapore!

May 30, 2025By-the-cabin Yachting Redefines the Cruise Experience
I wish this day could last forever!” my windswept 9-year-old exclaimed, his voice soaring over the Mediterranean. He gripped the helm of a Bali 4.6 sailing catamaran off the coast of Marseille, his sun- bleached hair whipping in the salty breeze. The scent of the sea mingled with the aroma of warm baguettes drifting from the Côte d’Azur shoreline. Our captain, a seasoned sailor, subtly adjusted course, letting my son feel the exhilarating pull of the wind against the sails. As the waves lapped against the hull, I realized this was no ordinary vacation — this was freedom, unfiltered.
