Dear Reader, Within these pages you'll find recipes for a relaxing spring get-together, a heart-warming story about a little orphaned boy whose disability opened hearts across the world, and, inside our Getaway Guide, destinations near and far including our very own Brandon Daiker's personal reflections on his time in Japan. As someone who suffers from repeat bouts of wanderlust, I look forward to putting together this issue all year long: It's not only a treat for me to read about other writers' travels, but I also get to venture out beyond my office walls to contribute as well. Back in si/ April I took a truly epic trip to New Zealand's South Island that I have been impatient to share with you all. If s in here too. Not to be missed is this issue's special feature on the local medical field. Several years we launched LIVING'S Super Docs thinking it would be a great resource for the community, but had no idea how valuable it would become. We have requests for extra copies all through the year from people who misplaced their magazine and needed to "look up a doctor." So, put this issue in a safe place, but if it accidentally gets recycled, you can always go to LivingMagazine.net/ Editions to read current and past issues. Until Next Month,
