Adirondacks help; Gregory Henderson in the Catskills; Julie Donovan in the Laurel High-lands; Nina Kelly in the Brandywine Valley; and Terri Dennison for Route 6 insight.

Paula HardyI’d like to thank the following for sharing the best of Connecticut and Rhode Island: Anne McAndrews, Dave Fairty, Pat and Wayne Brubaker, Rick Walker, Sanjeev Seereeram, Cinta Burgos, David King, Dave Helgerson, Harry Schwartz, Elizabeth MacAlister and the Preservation Society of Newport. Thanks also to the super Jennye Garibaldi and Mara Vorhees. Finally, thanks to Rob Smith for the laughs and letting me bring home Baggo.

Adam KarlinThank you to the Lonely Planet crew: Regis St Louis, Michael Grosberg, the fabulous in-house team of Suki Gear, Bruce Evans, Alison Lyall, Emily Wolman and Jennye Garibaldi. Thanks to Mom and Dad for raising me the way they did, and to Rachel Houge, my wife, greatest fan and best friend. And finally, thank you Lonely Planet. You let me wander the world and write about it. That’s a blessedly exciting and rewarding way to make a living.

Mariella KrauseThanks to Suki Gear for an amazing year full of Lonely Planet goodness, and to Jay Cooke for getting me involved in the first place. And thanks to all the amazing people I met on the road who served as a constant reminder of what traveling is all about.

Caroline SiegThanks to everyone who shared their tips with me and for the friendly conversations at lobster shacks, ski resorts and brewpubs. A very special thank you to the Schmidt family who keep me coming back to New England year after year.

Adam SkolnickThanks to Stephanie Greene, Dana McMa-han, Carla Carlton, Phoebe Lipkis, Kristin Schofield and Louisville Basketball in Louis-ville; Jennifer Bohler and Shanna Henderson in Nashville; Nealy Dozier, Walter Thompson, Chloe Friedman, Lydia Hardy and Chi Bui in Atlanta; and Keith, Peggy and Melissa in Natchez. My love and appreciation go out to best Savannah buds Alicia Magee, Anna Cypris Jaubert, and (by proxy) Joe Bush. Thanks also to Suki Gear, Regis St Louis and the whole Lonely Planet team. It’s a joy and privilege to work with and know you all!

Mara VorheesMy heart goes out to all the victims of the Boston Marathon bombings, all of the run-ners and the city as a whole. Patriots’ Day has always been about facing challenges with courage – it’s now true more than ever. Bos-tonians love their city. Love will prevail.
