I recently booked a family traveling to Disney World during Spring Break week which also happened to be the week prior to Easter.  According to my sources the crowds were going to be crazy that week.  So, what do you do?  If you must go, then you need to be prepared. Here are a few … Read More

Vail, Colorado

October 18, 2012 by admin

I have only been snow skiing a couple of times; once in Wisconsin as a child and once in high school in North Carolina.
