Friday Flashback: Networking in New York City

After the conclusion of my 'round the world trip, I landed back in northern Virginia.  I used the next 11 months to meet as many people in the online travel community as possible.  This effort entailed networking in New York City over the course of 4 separate trips, which coincidentally coincided with all four seasons (Summer, Autumn, Winter, Spring).

I easily met dozens (and hundreds after TBEX) of travel aficionados, bloggers, writers, and entrepreneurs I'd previously only known from blogs, Facebook and Twitter.  These short-term social whirlwinds acted as a needed counterbalance to the time I was spending alone, writing and blogging from my parent's house.
