Just when I was having so much fun blogging on First of all, I hate always and never. It brings out the teenager in me who says, "Oh yeah??? Just watch me!" Next thought, "Okay, the guy has a point." I would benefit by treating a business-type blog like the TV show Dragnet–"Just the facts, ma’am, just the facts!" However, that seems so, oh how do I say it???? BORING! What is a person like me who loves life, is passionate about travel, and occasionally digresses supposed to do? The solution: I will continue to blog here as I have been—focusing on unique vacations, exceptional values, great getaways (Oh! That’s us www.greatgetaways.travel ) AND I will occasionally digress into political, social, and family posts. I will also create new blogs that stick to the facts, just the facts, ma’am. So, fair warning: if you want to read a blog that’s sole purpose is to get you to invest in our services or convince you we are the BEST widget producer in the universe, stop reading this blog! Cease and desist at once! Okay, forget the “desist” part! I won’t press legal action because you like working with a person (and company) that treats our clients like friends and that wants only the very best experience for you that we can create! Heck, to deprive you of the best service and wonderful values we offer, well, that would be criminal!
