Oops, I Did it Again…

Dear MGF Faithful,

Go ahead…call me crazy. Call me nuts. Call me certifiable. What other labels can you brand on a woman who has decided to expand her little piece internet real estate to A BRAND NEW BLOG? Yes, you read that right. A new branch on the MGF tree! Tonight is the first post of The Modern Girl Friday Travels.

Why the new blog? Well, as any writer at heart knows, we’re always in search of new dragons to slay. In my case, I started to vent out what was in my twisted little mind. While I still love writing for our little original MGF Blog, the last few months has thrown me for a loop creatively. Worried that the well had run dry, I started hunting for the next dragon. It was actually on our recent vacation to Toronto that Lenny threw out the idea for a travel blog. The kernel has been growing and I finally found the time to get rolling.

What does this mean for this blog? All it means is that it now has a little sister. I (and hopefully some of my contributors) will be splitting time between this The Modern Girl Friday and The Modern Girl Friday Travels. I’m far too attached to our brand of sarcasm, gossip, and fun to give it up! Personally, I’ll post when I can on either blog.

And what exactly is the purpose of MGF Travels? Simple: To inform, suggest, and provide information. While I can’t claim to be a jet-setter who has been to exotic locales, I love me some travel! Thanks to business trips and my own leisure trips, I feel I have information to share in making things easier in this day and age of DYI Vacations.

MGF Travel isn’t like Fodors or Frommers. We don’t get freebies to go places (…yet. But you never know what the future brings, right?), so we’ll write about the places we can go to. We won’t be able to give you the 360-degree view of our destinations, along with list up list of where to shop and eat. But I think it will do something far more important. We’ll give you the view regular travelers like yourself want to hear. A majority of us don’t have the time to see EVERYTHING…so hopefully we can tell you about what we did have time to explore.

MGF Travel is the personal experience of its contributors in the places they want to visit. It’s the tips we personally use to get through vacations and business trips. Its information YOU want all in one place.

So – tonight, we start off with a little how to. And in the coming week, we explore our first destination, Toronto, Canada.

Hope you’re all in for the ride!
