Hello Family Travelers and Travel Professionals,

We know how busy you are, but we want to remind you, your friends and family, and anyone you know between the ages of 13 and 18 that it's time to apply for the FTF Teen Travel Writing Scholarship. September 22nd is the deadline for teens to submit their travel journals to FTF's www.travelBIGO.com community for scholarship consideration.

And on another happy note, FTF is pleased to receive a silver Magellan Award by Travel Weekly, in the online travel guides category.  Being in the company of Frommers.com (Kyle's old alma mater), Kayak.com and other great trip planning resources makes us very proud. 

Log on for autumn festivals, foliage tours, apple picking features, and inspirational deals for those dreaming beyond the Wall Street meltdown and upcoming elections. Stay in touch, and wherever you're off to, safe there and safe home!
