David and I have traveled our fair share, and as a result, we've created some guidelines we adhere to for every trip. For example, we only take a carry-on suitcase and try to come home with at least one day to recover before going back to work. But if there is one rule that is…
I have dubbed myself "Queen of Summer" (I'm a July baby after all), but that doesn't mean I can't be excited for fall.
