A First Time for Everything

by Mary Melnick

Dec 2, 2019

In two weeks, the FXExpress Publications, Inc. team will head to Los Angeles for the GT Tested Reader Survey awards, hosted at The Peninsula Beverly Hills.

I am excited for this event. This is my second awards event but my first GT Tested Reader Survey awards party, and I can’t wait to see how it goes. This trip is full of firsts for me, some I am excited about and some I am nervous for.

This is my first time going to California, and I couldn’t be more excited. I’ve been wanting to visit California for years, and I can’t believe I am finally going. I hope the weather is nice so we can get a break from the cold in Pennsylvania.

Another first is this is my first flight with a layover. I am a little nervous about this. I’ve always had direct flights and never had to get off a plane to get on another one. I’ve flown by myself a good amount, so I am not worried about that. I am more worried about navigating an airport I’ve never been to and finding the place I need to be to hop on my second flight. Although I am nervous, I have a feeling I will be fine!

Also, it is my first big trip with Global Traveler; so far, I have only traveled to New York for the Wherever Awards.

I am so excited for this trip full of firsts! Check back next month to see how everything went.

Croatia Makes it Easy to Turn a Business Trip into a Family Vacation

Croatian tourism took off in the early 2000s and shows no signs of slowing, thanks in part to its starring role as the unmistakable setting in popular franchises like Game of Thrones and Below Deck Mediterranean. But there’s good reason both Hollywood and tourists keep returning to this small Balkan nation along the Adriatic Sea. Up and down the coast, it’s truly as stunning as it appears on camera, and moments here consistently feel elaborately staged ... but they’re not.
