It is our job at Absolute Travel to see and do as much as we can on our journeys so that we can share the valuable information we learn with you. When we travel, our itineraries are packed: we try the latest restaurants, scout new boutiques, conduct countless site inspections, head out on new touring possibilities and generally try to cram as much into each day as possible. It’s a tough job but somebody has to do it! We thought it would be fun to share a little more of what we see on these trips in this forum, as well as news, thoughts, and general musings on the travel industry. We hope you enjoy it! – Ken Fish
