Travel Journals – How to Travel and Make Money
Yesterday as we toured the Smokey Mountains, my son quipped, “Wish I could just travel and make money…” I smiled as I kept taking pictures and noting details about the trip.

We laughed for almost an hour as we drove back across town through the city streets to arrive at our destination.
Maybe we should call this post – Lost in Charlotte? New possibilities for a romance novel. And the hero could be…
