Posts and Polls: Enter the Guests

Kevin and I get on a plane tomorrow morning, headed to the wilds of Alaska. Okay, not really the wilds. We're visiting one of my girlfriends in Anchorage then meeting up with Kevin's extended family for a 7-day Alaskan cruise. There will be much walking, hiking, and eating. We're finishing up the trip with a couple of days in Vancouver then heading home.

We're back for about a week and a half. After that, I head to BlogHer, where I'm speaking on a panel about food and wine blogging. That same few days, Kevin will be heading to Sonoma for the 2nd Annual Wine Bloggers Conference, and luckily he'll be live blogging from some of it.

So first up, a poll. While in Alaska, I'll be in a place where the Internet can't always find
me. However, I'll try to post occasionally. Verizon Wireless has kindly provided me with a complimentary MiFi for the trip – where ever there is Verizon, there will be Internet. But I'm not sure that even Verizon can reach the Icy Straits or the glaciers. I will be recording events as I can for our oft-neglected
family blog. If you want me to post all about Alaska here as well, let me know in the poll below.

July? What July? We're gone for most of it. But I've got it under control! So that you still get information on a regular basis (when my MiFi isn't accessing a network that is), I've lined up a group of guest bloggers. They've already given me their posts (so that I don't have any surprises) and they are scheduled and ready to go. For the times Kevin and I are gone, you'll be hearing from our friends and colleagues, both locally and in other exciting cities.

I hope you enjoy their insight! They'll be bringing you different perspectives based on their locations, jobs, and interests.

You'll be hearing from

Jay Erisman from The Party Source in Newport
David Lazarus, oenophile extraordinaire and local blogger
Kevin Keith, Wine Buyer at Liquor Direct, local blogger, and quite the wine academic
Shannan Boyer, local parenting blogger and a wine drinker just like you
Jen Rizzo, foodie, graphic designer, and recent San Francisco transplant
David's wife Jan Lazarus, an oenophile in her own right and a dietitian with a unique outlook on wine
Kara Christopher, fun foodie from St Louis
Tom Streeter & Carla Gesell-Streeter, local beer bloggers who enjoy a good glass of wine

Thanks, and "see" you in about two weeks!

Cheers!
Michelle
