I know my blogs have been sporadic at best these past weeks and I apologize. I want to get you updated on a lot of items happening in the travel world but first and foremost, I need to make sure the transition from ActiveTravels.com to ActiveTravels.com\/blog goes as smoothly as possible. Lucky I’m in the good hands of Portland, Maine’s iBec Creative<\/a> so there’s only been a few bumps in the road. I’m off to Manhattan, but I’ll be back next Tuesday with a full slate of blogs. The week after that, I’ll be blogging live from San Antonio during their 11-day Fiesta<\/a>, featuring parades, festivals, concerts, coronations, athletic events, art exhibits and more. As always, thanks for sticking with me and I look forward to an exciting spring and summer. Have a great weekend and keep active!<\/p>\n <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Thanks for Your Patience! - Active Travels<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Thanks for Your Patience! - Active Travels\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"I know my blogs have been sporadic at best these past weeks and I apologize.
