Foreward
A couple of days ago I had a conversation with a family member that went something like this:
- MEAB (in jest): Do you want to write a guest post for my blog?
- Family member: What kind of blog is it?
- MEAB: A travel hacking blog.
- Family member: Ok.
- MEAB (falls to the ground, floored): ….
Well, my family member came through without any further prompting, and it’s oddly appropriate for today, the busiest travel day of the year. Please enjoy and we’ll be back to our regularly scheduled programming tomorrow:
