The truth is, it is often our last one! On each episode I will take you through one of those trips, from home and back, and let you know what were some of our favorite experiences, which things we could have skipped, and what we regret not doing. My hope is that the listener will realize that travel, domestic or international, is doable. It can be affordable with the proper planning, and it's always worth it!
