opening the floodgates…

Tuesday, October 20th, 2009

Wednesday, July 22nd, 2009

Last week I asked if you had any tips or tricks that help keep you focused on planning your travels, as I believe that staying focused on what really matters, time with friends, family, travels, etc., is most important.
