A Seattle Bomb Cyclone? Before I get to the outrageous title, I want to say, for the record, that I am a very prompt person. I am always on time but cannot publish a newsletter by the first of the month to save my life. It seems that we are always traveling the first week […]
Fall travel to the end of the Earth? That is kind of a dramatic statement, don’t you think? But seriously, that is exactly where we just returned from – the end of the Earth. We traveled with Collette on the Patagonia – Edge of the World Tour. Which was EPIC! Our Locator – Look How […]
