NEWH - September 2004 - (Page 9)

from the editor long, lazy days of summer As the summer winds down and fall begins, discussions around the water cooler turn from “what are you planning to do this summer” to “what did you do on your summer vacation?” Visions of exotic travels, trips to Disney World and family campgrounds suddenly take over the break-room and everyone enjoys hearing about ones travels. But now that Labor Day has passed, the long lazy days of summer are officially over and the cool, crisp autumn days will soon begin. While I hope that everyone enjoyed a pleasant and relaxing summer break, the editorial staff at NEWH has been hard at work to bring you more exciting travels from around the world. First, our Editor from Canada, Sue Lamont, coordinated a sneak peek behind the scenes look at the exciting Queen Mary II which debuted this past spring/summer. Here you can read about what it took to put together this fascinating and beautiful new luxury liner. In addition, we take a look at America’s favorite pastime...food. Here you learn some new tricks from the trade to designing a smashing new restaurant to how the restaurants in Canada differ from the dining experience in the states. Needless to say, I think there is a little something for everyone. So sit back, relax and enjoy that last ray of sunshine as you enjoy this issue…from cover to cover… NEWH Magazine editorial staff Editorial Director: Lisa A.
