What a Year So Far!

It’s late 2025, and I can’t believe it’s been over a year since I last posted. But hey, life does get in the way sometimes.

Let’s do a quick recap since my last post.

ASTA Conference 

Ilene and I attended the annual American Society of Travel Agents Conference in Dallas, Texas. This was our opportunity to rub elbows with friends, colleagues, and suppliers for our travel business.
