As the Sun sets on 2007, I’d like to just take a few moments to talk about The Toronto Traveler.  As many of you know, I actually started this blog in late October and it officially went live as part of the Travel & Culture channel of b5media in November.  So, I haven’t been around that long, especially compared to the blogs that have been here for the whole year but I still feel that 2007 was a landmark year for The Toronto Traveler.
I guess if something is created in a certain year then that year automatically …read more
