New York City — I apologize for the long pause in my blog posting. But truly, the first six months of 2011 has brought on a series of incredible non-stop assignments for our entire ESCAPESEEKER team!
In accordance with our show’s closing tag line, “ESCAPESEEKER, proving once again that there’s no destination too far, or too difficult to reach”–I’ve managed to make sure the we up the ante for 2011–from heli-skiing the snow-covered mountain tops of Utah’s Wasatch Mountains to prove their claim of having “The Greatest Snow on Earth”; to hydro-speeding the chilly white waters of Patagonia’s raging rivers; to climbing the incredibly steep volcanic peaks of Chile’s barren Northern dessert; to experiencing the mystical culture of the world’s most remote island. I never imagined just how much it would magnify every aspect of our ESCAPESEEKER program in every regard. To make a long story, short, I am now in New York City where the campaign to take ESCAPESEEKER global has officially begun under the skilled guidance of seasoned Entertainment Attorney, Steven Beer, (www.stevenbeer.com). Please stay tuned. I will be providing the exciting details as they become available.
In the meantime, please highlight August 27, 2011 on your calendars. It’s the date that has been set for the ESCAPESEEKER Fall Season to officially begin on PBS SoCal. Check local listings for further details, or you can check on this ESCAPESEEKER blog, ESCAPESEEKER Facebook, ESCAPESEEKER twitter, and even ESCAPESEEKER tumblr. I think we’re covering all of our social media bases!

ESCAPESEEKER…”Where in the World is my Grandma?”
Straight Talk from Mel: “I LOVE TO TRAVEL because I have an “addiction to wonderment”…I’ve discovered a plane ticket is the best prescription for the blues…the excitement, the enrichment, the friendships I derive fill me with overflowing gratitude for the life I have been given. Nothing makes me feel more alive like traveling, and when I share these travel experiences with those I love, my JOY is multiplied ten-fold! And, as you can see from this family pic, I have no shortage of willing travel companions.”
My lovely Family, Jumping for Joy after learning about our next exciting family adventure!
