I talk about special days on here all the time--there are just some days and experiences that are so awe-inspiring that they stay etched in your memory like a beautiful poem. One of those experiences for me was being given the opportunity to experience a Red Bus Tour on the Going to the Sun Road in Montana. It was the first day of our FAM, the weather was picture-perfect gorgeous, and we had the final red bus tour of the season. It was such an ideal way to explore Glacier National Park. We ... Read More
TBEX
A Guide to Bighorn Canyon, Montana
Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area, located in southern Montana, sees 200,000 visitors each year. Drawn to the water activities on the Montana Side and land activities on the Wyoming side, it is a popular travel destination for outdoor adventurers.

The national park was established in the late 1960s after the ... Read More

Even if you're not a crafter, it's worth it to Visit the Home of Beaded Christmas Ornaments in Poniklá Czech Republic ... Read More
A Day on the Dingle Peninsula
I don't know anyone who doesn't have Ireland on their wishlist for travel (and if it isn't, it should be!). I've had Ireland on my list for many (many!) years, so when it was announced that TBEX would be in Killarney, I knew I was going. As part of the conference ticket, we were given a choice of tours. There were so many fun sounding options and I ended up choosing to spend a day on the Dingle Peninsula. The Dingle Peninsula is the most northern of the peninsulas in County Kerry and is named ...
