Las Vegas, for me, is one of the most fun destinations I know. My first visit was for my husband’s 40th birthday. We’d booked a great room at Treasure Island and my husband’s family from Arizona joined us as a surprise to him.

I have been in and out lots of airports in my time and my favorite happens to be my home airport. Even though I live in Massachusetts, this airport in Rhode Island is closer and easier to get to than Logan Airport in Boston. As a travel agent, it is also my first choice for […]
