Q: What are some of your favorite travel memories or experiences?
A: My favorite travel experience was during my honeymoon in Longboat Key, Florida. It was in September. There were no crowds at all and we had the beach to ourselves. The water temperature was a perfect 86 degrees. We ate tons of grouper that trip! We also visited Siesta Key which is rated one of the top beaches in the USA. We loved the beautiful white flour sand!

Q: What advice can you offer to travelers who want to make their travel dreams a reality?
A: Save a certain amount each paycheck. Even if it takes a couple years to save, it would be worth it. Go now if you can! You don’t know about tomorrow.
