We have been working on a list for you of various topics that are both useful and fun. Each month we’ll share with you a list of 5-10 places to eat, sleep, hike, buy yarn, see lighthouses etc. Some lists will just be the name and location of a place while other lists will be [...]
As 2011 comes into its final days – the office is going on a stay-cation. We will be back in the first few days of 2012 well-rested and ready to go. But before we go we want to wish all you a very blessed Christmas and a ‘wicked good’ start to the New Year.
It’s the second day of December and Christmas cards have already started arriving in our inbox from passengers!
