Number 9!

Back in the summer of 2008, I was astonished when the New York Times accepted my pitch for a Velib spree through Paris that targeted the city's best chocolatiers. Then the Tour du Chocolat went on to become a Top 10 travel story for the year.

This morning I found out it happened again: A Paris Farewell came in at Number 9 on the list of top travel articles for 2011. Hooray!

I couldn't be happier—not only for the insane honor, but because that piece was indeed a love letter to Paris. I loved researching and writing it, I loved sharing it and hearing all the wonderful responses, and I still love all the memories I carry with me as a result. Especially since I've been missing Paris like mad lately. (Paris, je t'aime. Encore et toujours.)

    Congratulations! It was a wonderful article. I can certainly understand how you can miss that city. I am counting the days until I head there in May. It will be my first time in the spring and I can't wait to see the city in bloom:)

    Well done and well deserved. Keep hitting top tens and maybe the NYT will be forced to afford you repeat trips back for repeat adventures.

    And let's not forget the triumphant Parisian book tour you'll have to do.
