Maybe you’ve already got a ticket for the Frequent Traveler University this November in Los Angeles. Maybe not. Either way, the next Frequent Traveler University has been announced for April 26-28th in Tysons Corner, VA. Registration is now open. I’ve helped out with the…
I took a few days off from blogging, though not totally voluntarily. Hurricane Sandy has affected millions of people, me included. Our family has a house on the Jersey Shore and my father has been up there trying to figure out if it’s okay. …
