<p><strong>Thanks to <span style="text-decoration: underline;">all of you </span></strong>out there &#8211; and the handful of you know who you are &#8211; for supporting Luc and me in the <a href="http://www.lucandalisontravel.com/announcements/launch-blog/">November launch</a> of our blog LucandAlisonTravel.com.  We really appreciate your comments and feedback.</p>
<p>Long overdue to close <a href="http://www.lucandalisontravel.com/announcements/launch-contest/" target="_self">the contest</a> and announce the winner of the &#8220;Blogging for Dummies&#8221; book:  <strong>Roschelle !</strong></p>
<p>Roschelle left  this encouraging, funny comment, God bless her: <em> Great idea for a contest. I think I’m the unlucky #5 but congrats to number 13 where ever you areeeeeeee :)</em></p>
<p>Having checked out her blog <a href="http://www.inconsequentiallogic.com/" target="_blank">Inconsequential Logic</a>, I don&#8217;t think she needs any tips, but hopefully she knows someone who can use a helping hand.</p>
<p>I know I can for 2010.  Among my resolutions: Get kicking on updating this blog!  After Barcelona, there&#8217;s Cuba, then Italy &#8230; hey, I know there could be worse things on a To Do List.</p>
