Friends, I apologize for the delay in this information. With the passing of my father and summer doing exactly what we've waited for it to do all year, my mind has been elsewhere. Nonetheless we're halfway through the year and if you've been here month after month, THANK YOU. If you're new here, THANK YOU.
July is always exciting because this is when you visit the places I've spoken about on our social media in realtime. No matter if it's Napa, Grenada, Alaska or Aruba, I see the traffic increase always during the summer months. I'm excited for what the remainder of the year has in store for us, and without further ado, here's the list of things to do globally this July!
