I never envisioned myself traveling to Arkansas and coming away thinking, "Wow, this place is beautiful." You can imagine my surprise, then, when I arrived in Little Rock and saw the surrounding mountains, craggy peaks and a river flowing through it all.

I’ve been to restaurant openings before, but I have never been to a Disney restaurant opening. That is until I was invited to the “Opa”ning of Cat Cora’s new restaurant Kouzzina, and I'm pretty sure that I am ruined for all other lackluster openings. OK, perhaps I am being a bit dramatic. But there is something about the Disney magic that ignites everything it touches, a 27-year-old magazine editor not to be excluded.

Weeks ago, I wrote about my training for a half-marathon. Well, I did it, and I didn’t collapse in a puddle of sweat and banana peels. I may have slightly embarrassed myself, in fact, by sprinting across the finish line as if any of the spectators were paying the least bit of attention to me and my triumphant two-hour journey through the streets of Montreal.

About Sarah Elbert
As executive editor of Delta Sky, Sarah Elbert lassos the best writers she can find to cover the world—as well as contributing some prose of her own. Before coming to Sky, Sarah was editorial director of magazines including Northwest WorldTraveler and Carlson Wagonlit Travel's Postcards. She has been a newspaper editor, a freelance writer and an Associated Press reporter, riding with the White House travel pool (back in the Clinton days) and covering everything from natural disasters to a cat kidney transplant. Sarah has written for The New York Times, the New York Post, the New York Sun—but not the NY Daily News. She now lives in Minneapolis, which she finds lovely and underrated, but does occasionally miss Manhattan and the Staten Island Ferry. Sarah would like to think she could again go backpacking across Europe, and she still loves to travel, but she knows that train has left the station. It's just so much quicker to fly.
About Deborah Caulfield Rybak
Senior editor Deborah Caulfield Rybak interviewed the Who’s Who of Hollywood during her years as an entertainment industry reporter at the Los Angeles Times. She still prefers writing about the arts to almost any other journalistic activity, so it’s a good thing we’ve got her on that beat at Sky. She’s pocketed numerous journalism awards and co-written three books.
But that’s just her journalistic cred: she’s also worked as an FM deejay in Aspen, a speechwriter in Washington and an environmental film festival director in Colorado. She considers herself happiest when she’s out of town—and out of cellphone range. She’s hitchhiked across Kenya, spent the night atop a pyramid in Central America, hovered face-to-mandible with giant manta rays during a night dive in Hawaii and hiked the High Atlas mountains in Morocco. Still left on her to do list: Bhutan and marlin fishing.

When she isn't scouting the latest trends in fashion and travel, she moonlights at a local Parisian brasserie where she says "welcome" and "enjoy" a lot and occasionally tries to improve her French. Though her foray to the editorial side of the magazine industry is a new one, she welcomes the challenge and can't wait to see what this new adventure holds.
