<strong>Spring</strong> <strong>into</strong> <strong>Travel</strong>!<br />
How liberating!<br />
To even think about “<strong>Spring</strong>ing <strong>into</strong> <strong>Travel</strong>” is exhilerating!<br />
We have been so confined ... incarcerated, if you will!<br />
We are soaring with that sense of freedom!<br />
We can get out now, experience travel again,<br />
and share our stories!<br />
Eighteen North American <strong>Travel</strong> Journalists<br />
desired to share their travel experiences with you<br />
in this <strong>Spring</strong> issue of TWI <strong>Magazine</strong>.<br />
Their fascinating tales come from around the world.<br />
Every story tells a unique travel experience.<br />
If you are not quite ready to “spring <strong>into</strong> travel,”<br />
you may find that these stories provide you the inspiration<br />
to get up and go. If not ... you can travel vicariously through<br />
their talented storytelling and photography!<br />
Thanks to the NATJA members who stepped up<br />
and led the way back <strong>into</strong> travel journalism!<br />
Your work is important and appreciated!<br />

Carla Rupp and her son Jason Rupp are long time NATJA<br />
members who love the freedom of travel and exploring<br />
the world. They “sprung” from their city confinement and<br />
found rejuvination in Pattaya, Thailand! You can almost<br />
feel the balmy breeze in their sunset photo on the cover.<br />
Their delightful story starts on page 44.<br />
