Please join us in wishing #congratulations and "hats off" to the #ClassOf2020, whose unique final semester will be one for the "books." Among the graduates are our photo-shy #FandDmag intern Aryeh - whose editorial assignments over the years have included stories on #Chicago, #NewOrleans, #Barcelona and #Iceland.
Part of his celebratory dinner included this special edition #chocolatechipcookie based #dessert, designed by @dessertsbydasi. . .

#FlashbackFriday to @pcmahq's #PCMACL in #SanFranc

#FlashbackFriday to @pcmahq's #PCMACL in #SanFrancisco, earlier this year at the newly expanded #FandDmag Prime Site Award-winning @mosconecenter. A great destination will often translate into higher attendance and longer stays in the region. Case in point: This amazing photograph was taken by @binyaminkornphotography, #cycling to Rodeo Beach in the @goldengatenps National Recreation Area, across the #GoldenGate Bridge in Marin County, post-event.
We're looking forward to #travel and #meeting again soon. Until then, wishing all #eventprofs and #meetingprofs a most pleasant #MemorialDay weekend. #staysafe!

The #flowers lining #NYC’s #ParkAvenue in our la

The #flowers lining #NYC’s #ParkAvenue in our last photo reminded us of other walkways adorned with pre-winter flowers.
These photos were taken during our hike along #Switzerland’s @montreuxriviera, where we walked from #Montreaux to #Vevey spending as much time as we could along Lake Geneva. While the weather did not exactly cooperate - it was misty and rainy, and why are museums closed in Mondays? - we nevertheless found many more reasons to fall #inlovewithswitzerland. .

Much of the #energy of large cities like #NYC and #HongKong come from the diversity of the sheer volume of people that ensure that their city "never sleeps." .
Pausing at a crossing light on #NYC's #ParkAvenue malls provided a brief momentary break from the seemingly non-stop world of the workplace. While on this #COVID19 work from home "pause," we have to and urge others to make sure to stop and smell the coffee - or #flowers - and remember to #stayhealthy and #staysafe as we #stayhome.

We had plenty of room to qualify for #socialdistancing standards when #hiking through @brycecanyonnps back in September following @imex_group’s #IMEX19 in @vegas’ @sandsexpo.
. .
(Not too long ago, pre-#covid19 and when #wewillmeetagain,) a destination is often assessed on its nearby sites and attractions, in order to increase attendance. #eventprofs/ #meetingprofs will find a plethora of activities in #LasVegas and lots of #nature’s bounty within a few hours for those that can extend their stay. Just be in shape if you plan to trek through into the canyons... Getting back up (image 4) can take the wind out of you!

As we #stayathome, we can't help looking back both

As we #stayathome, we can't help looking back both at a peak peering out into the #Pacific Ocean and one of the scariest, most difficult drives of our lives...
.
In April 2018, during #FandDmag's @mauivisit, @googlemaps led us to the @hyattmaui via #Maui's Northern Loop Kahekili Highway 340, due to construction on the main road from the airport. The sites we saw will always be etched in our memories - from small villages surrounded by lush greenery to the #blue #ocean crashing into rocky beaches - however, the drive along the twisting "highway" was difficult, at times but one lane with oncoming traffic and no guard rails. A passing rainstorm made sections of the road slippery with mud sliding from the hillsides adding to the ride's degree of difficulty. (Ironically, we wished we had more time to #hike in some of the areas that provided us such a frightening experience in the car.) .
.
Eventually the road became more manageable; this lagoon and serene #beach were our first real sense of the #tropical #paradise that awaited us following the flight from the mainland. Maui is featured in the @imex_group section of the #Fall 2018 issue of Facilities & Destinations Magazine.

With #gmid20 @gmidgoesvirtual approaching tomorrow

With #gmid20 @gmidgoesvirtual approaching tomorrow, the #COVID19 #stayathome order gives one a chance to recall how large the world is and the amazing sites there are to see.
.
After concluding a story assignment to @visitzurich for #FandDmag, we headed to the @jungfrauregion. There, following an excursion to the #Alpine peaks of @jungfraujochtopofeurope, we departed the train at, and hiked along trails outside of Kleine Scheidegg, taking in views and experiences that will be remembered for a lifetime. Wild flowers, flowing #greenery contrasted by towering mountains were expected as advertised, but one memory viewed from a safe distance was not something we read about: the sound of rumbling snowmelt from atop a the #mountain crashing into the valley below. .

As we #StayAtHome and away from the office we recall a few of the sites, sounds and tastes of #NewYorkCity this time of year that we have taken for granted....
.
The malls of #NYC's #ParkAvenue, lined seasonally with #tulips to welcome the #Spring.
.
Traditional foods and treats fill shelves in #Midtown #Manhattan's groceries and pharmacies, stocked with a large selection of #Easter-themed #chocolate and #Peeps. Matzah seems to find its way into many non-traditional places as well.
.
Wishing all our friends and family a joyous holiday season!

April showers bring May flowers... #flashbackfrida

April showers bring May flowers... #flashbackfriday to April 3, 2018 to a tabletop #event and dinner for @koreamice Bureau at @robertrestaurant.
A prime site for #NYC's #eventprofs/#meetingprofs community, the Robert's function space atop the @madmuseum overlooks #ColumbusCircle & #CentralPark. We look forward to getting back to the #venue in the near future.

Innovative solution: This #bride was determined no

Innovative solution: This #bride was determined not to allow a #NYC #COVID19 shelter in place order to prevent her canceled #wedding-day reception to be shared with beloved neighbors in the close-knit community she grew up. Earlier in the day, she sent a blast out to #community WhatsApp groups asking people to cheer on the newlyweds from their lawns and terraces as a motorcade led by the young couple in a white #convertible drove up and down neighborhood streets.

Resounding success. מזל טוב

Recalling the views from a terrace at the @westinloscabos, #Mexico; looking back - and forward - to a time when @corona was associated with #beaches and resorts instead of #COVID19.
.
The @westin flagged #resort is ideal for #meeting and #incentive #travel groups - as well as a #destinationwedding venue - with 9,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor function space not to mention the #beach. While new properties are appearing throughout the region, the #hotel remains a favorite among #eventprofs & #meetingprofs.

#Travel for #business #meetings & #incentive groups afford attendees experiences that will last a lifetime. Visitors to #Florida's Keys have a plethora of activities @bylandersea - pardon the pun, Debi - with #museums, #art galleries and #restaurants to #fishing, #snorkeling & #scuba and viewing local #marine life.

As we get ready for Spring, the @hotelnewotanitokyo's #JapaneseGarden - one of the sites visited by @bylandersea during #FandDmag's last visit to #Japan - came to mind. Debi spent some time in #Tokyo prior to heading north for her feature on #hakkaido which appeared in the #IMEX Supplement of the Fall 2018 issue.
