Spend a Week in Paradise with Zac Brown (sort of)
02/24/2014 by
When I bought my new vehicle, I was given a free six-month subscription to Sirius XM. Well, those folks sure know what they’re doing because I’m currently hooked on Radio Margaritaville.

07/09/2013 by
As much as I love beach and resort getaways, I don’t relish packing bulky towels and other water-related necessities. Yes, hotels usually provide pool towels, but they don’t generally allow guests to take those towels to the beach. If you know of anybody that does, please let me know. I recently read about the Travel […]
