From Kim Knox Beckius, your About Travel Editor
Greetings, Travelers! This week's newsletter is all about me: my favorite places I've visited and the ones on my bucket list. Why? I'll explain next week. ~Kim

Mi Corazón Pertenece a España
I hope my Spanish is correct! The first time I boarded a plane, I flew all the way from New York to... Spain! I was a high school junior with four years of Spanish study under my belt and zero international travel experience. That trip with classmates boosted my confidence and ignited my wanderlust. I kept a journal... not realizing it was the first of many travel accounts I would one day write. My colleague Damian Corrigan's heart is in Spain, too, and he'll tell you about all of Spain's best things to do.

I Should Have Moved to Maui
I spent a week in Hawaii when I was 19, and I distinctly remember picking up a newspaper and scanning the Help Wanted ads because I did not want to leave. Maui was the island that most enchanted me, and whenever I miss paradise, I look through Hawaii Expert John Fischer's wonderful photos taken along the Haleakala Highway and on the Road to Hana.

My Last Trip Before Travel Changed Forever
I honeymooned on Belize's largest island, Ambergris Caye, and flew back to the U.S. on September 10, 2001. It was such an easy, carefree trip. But if we had stayed one more day, we would have been stuck in Central America for a week. Travel is forever more complex post-9/11, but these Ambergris Caye photos collected by Central America Expert Kirsten Hubbard will remind you why the hassles are worthwhile.

I've Got a Thing for the Witchy City
I've been producing About.com's New England Travel site since 1998: before anyone knew if the Internet was going to be a thing! Back then, people used to look at me funny when I told them I wrote for the Internet... the same way you might look at me funny when I confess Salem, Massachusetts, has always been one of my favorite New England places. And I share my home with a black cat!
