If you’re looking for a new adventure, then Competitours might be right up your alley. Someone I know has started company that conducts Amazing Race contests for regular people. He’s a pretty smart guy, and an avid traveler, so I have no doubt this…
I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! Ours was an enjoyable one spent with lots of family. Michelle and I are off to Barcelona tomorrow afternoon. So, next blog post will be from a tapas restaurant while we’re sipping intriguing Spanish wines. Stay tuned…
