2008: So Over

Looking back, it's hard to imagine that our trip to Sundance kicked off 2008; it feels like years ago that we were stuck in Park City traffic with Charles Ogilvie. But despite losing a travel inspiration, a scrappy new airline and any hope of keeping our shoes on at the airport, we're plunging forward into 2009.

See, now that we've handed out all The Jauntys for this year, there are new stories to break, new scams to report, new destinations to "discover," new airlines to obsess over and, 12 months from now, there will be new award winners to congratulate. So take a minute, if you must, and reminisce about the year gone by. Us? We're already planning our next trip.
