I don’t often tout my professional value on the blog, but I have a story I’d like to share. I am a travel agent and spend most of my time sending people on vacation and hearing about how fabulous it was, upon their return. But it doesn’t always go so smoothly. Continue reading Professional Help

 Tuna should not be grey around the edges, or anywhere else I hardly ever re-review someplace I have been. Why bother? You already know all about it, and how many times can I rave about the food at the same place? But there are times when I need to update.
