Well it finally happened, after years of attempting to keep my personal and professional lives separate and distinct from each other, Web 2.0 has blended everything together. My Facebook profile is personal but now it's connected to travel media, my LinkedIn profile is professional but now it's linked to my TripIt page so everyone knows where I'm travelling to, my Twitter profile is linked to my company website and my Windows Live Hotmail is connected back to my Facebook... and now I have a Blog, "The World According to Brian" thanks to our crackerjack marketing team!

I'll try to keep things relevant to what I know best, the business of corporate, leisure and meetings & events travel and of course travelling around the world. That said I'm cleaning up my desk for a whirlwind trip to Australia and New Zealand departing tomorrow. I'm attending the Virtuoso Overseas Symposium in Sydney next week and then off to New Zealand for a second week of adventure travel. Have a great weekend and stay tuned for updates from Down Under...
