Now I have traveled all over the world and even lived in Italy for a year (1974). My love of travel continues to grow and I am taking a cruise with my children in August (Carribbean) and then going to Italy for a couple of weeks in September. I even bought my own travel site! Now I can travel as much as I want and it becomes a business expense, I get free upgrades, and I get all the commissions that would otherwise be paid to someone else! If you're interested in getting your own travel site, just go to mine, http://www.cashfamilytravel.com/, or go to www.ytb.com/chantdoc and click on "view the presentation."
Hope your summer travels have been fun! Let me know!
