Welcome, Travelers

I reminisced recently with fellow trainer Lisa about the scrumptious blackberry cobbler served at the Country Tavern in Kilgore, TX. As our conversation progressed, I wished aloud there was a Web site that posted trainer-tried-and-true information on restaurants, hotels, airport ins & outs, driving routes, and other tips on making our traveling lives easier.

I now propose this one: Trainers' Traveling Tips. It has no official affiliation to DTI. It's just something I'd like us, as a community of travelers, to be able to use to gather and give information to help each other out. If you know a shortcut from DFW to Longview, let us know. If you know a great server at a local restaurant, give us her name. If the traffic in Houston is bad between 8 a.m. and noon, give us the 4-1-1.

I think it would work nicely this way (if you have a better idea, try it and see how it plays out): Simply create a post for the city and state you want to tell us about, and write about it. If the city you want to write about already has a post, add a comment to that post. That way, we can keep the site organized by city.

If you want to post to the blog, you must have a blogger account; you can create one at blogspot.com. If you prefer not to create a blog account, please email me your information, and I will post it for you.

Thanks,
