GOING PLACES -- Editor’s Note
-- The Editors
In the mid 1990s, the Daily Pilot began a feature called On Vacation,
in which readers take their hometown newspaper with them on trips, snap
photos with it and send the pictures to the newsroom for publication.
The feature, which runs about once a week and sometimes twice, has
taken on a life of its own, even prompting us to spin off a related
feature called Travel Tales, which runs in our Sunday edition.
The success of the vacation photos is evident in several ways. Readers
have sent thousands of pictures of themselves and the Daily Pilot from
around the globe -- Bali, China, Rome, Paris, Machu Picchu, the Bahamas
and Africa, to name a few. There’s also the shorter and more typical
trips such as Hawaii, Yosemite and even Catalina Island and Big Bear
Lake.
The loud and clear message is that our readers love to travel, and
we’d like to think they love their hometown paper just as much.
Because of that, we are launching a new and -- we hope -- annual
travel section called Going Places. We hope this section provides tips,
ideas and, best of all, locations that our readers will find useful for
their vagabond ways.
Enjoy and bon voyage.
