As the first decade of the new Millennium comes to an end, it’s important to realize how much the travel world has grown. Throw in social media clients like Facebook and Twitter and you’ve got the whole world talking about travel. It’s easier to find travel news, travel deals and informative articles about interesting destinations. If you find yourself a member or a fan of the travel world, you should find yourself at this Travel social event in NYC.

    Aw! Well somebody had to leave the country and travel the world! =P
  • I'm excited to see this is happening and wish we could be there too! I'm hoping we'll see some write-ups and perhaps some video of what goes on. Enjoy it (and have a beer with us in mind!).
