My Happy Dance! :-)

Hello my beloved readers/followers…as many of you know, I am a correspondent for TripFilms.com.  For the month of April I was up for “member-of-the-month,” as I had a number of “editor pick” videos.  Like any good reality show, the winner was decided upon by the viewers.  I am extremely excited to announce that I won!  I get to choose between two different rafting trips, one is in Utah, the other in Idaho.  I’ll let ya know which one I go on, and will of course share the adventure right here on Mike’s Road Trip!

Thank you again for your votes and for your support…much appreciated!

Next Stop…Port Orford, Oregon

Friday, December 10th, 2010

Tomorrow will conclude my stay in Cannon Beach.  I’ve had a wonderful time…my only wish is that I had more of it to spend here.  I will be heading south on the 101 to Port Orford, OR where I’ll be staying at Wild Spring, not just a B&B, a “Guest Habitat.”  I can’t wait!  I’ve already hit it off with Michelle, one of the proprietors…we’re both former ad folks.

Mike’s Road Trip might be going to China…

Tuesday, December 7th, 2010

I’m in talks with a company in China about using my travel videos–they will encode with Mandarin sub-titles and disseminate for the Chinese traveler coming to the States.  We’ll see what happens…I’ll keep ya informed as to any new developments.

New Section called ‘the ONE thing’

Sunday, December 5th, 2010

I’ve recently created a new section of Mike’s Road Trip called, “the ONE thing.”  The idea is find out what is the ONE thing that makes a destination unique, special and/or interesting.  In other words, why should my followers and me visit?

Each week I’ll create new “ONE thing” pages for new destinations.  Then, I’ll send a link to respective community leaders and try and get them to ask their audience/followers to chime in.  When a destination page amasses enough responses, I’ll post  a top-5 poll and ask people to vote.

For more information, including a video on the topic, click here.
