VirtuosoLife - January/February 2008 - (Page 33) CONTRIBUTORS “Before touring Great Britain aboard the OrientExpress Northern Belle, I had no idea how well champagne goes with everything, and that oatmeal is so much better with a little spot of whiskey on top,” says CHARLES RUNNETTE (“Training Ground,” page 120). Now back in Los Angeles, he misses the extravagant meals and suffers from serious scone withdrawal while going about his daily life as a documentary TV producer and freelance writer. Runnette contributes to publications such as The New York Times, New York magazine, Variety, and Hollywood Life. Announcing the 2008 presented by Toyota Turn to page 27 for details. Senior editor MARIKA MCELROY CAIN arrived in Portugal for her story on the Lisbon area (“Pink Dreams and Port Wine,” page 94) with a few fond memories. It had been 12 years since she last visited the country, and she was glad to find that its key attributes haven’t changed. “The unhurried pace and the feeling of having discovered a well-kept secret are still there,” she says. “It’s a destination I’ve recommended to friends for years. After this trip, I’m still singing its praises.” TELL US YOUR TRAVEL AND YOU COULD DREAMS, WIN A DREAM RIDE. “I always sample and photograph local food when I travel,” says KEVIN J. MIYAZAKI (“Pink Dreams and Port Wine,” page 94). During his recent trip to Portugal, Miyazaki found a muse in bacalhau (salted, dried cod), a staple on menus there. “The Portuguese say there are 1,000 ways to prepare it,” he says, “but I only had time to try four, so I figure that’s my excuse to go back.” Miyazaki’s images have appeared in publications such as Travel + Leisure, ESPN The Magazine, and The New York Times.

We often find ourselves in the kitchens of great restaurants instead of the dining rooms, on top of cathedrals instead of inside them.” The two live in New York with their children, Lula and Sam, and frequently contribute to Condé Nast Traveler, Town & Country, and O, The Oprah Magazine.
