A New Plan

Well, it’s the beginning of 2012, and it’s the time for reflection on the past year and looking forward to the new.

Ask and You Might Receive – Marsha Moore

I’m lucky enough to be friends with Marsha Moore, author of the new travel book “24 Hours London” (Available from Amazon USA or in the UK). I love the concept of this book, because Marsha talks includes hidden gems that other guidebooks won’t tell you about. About the book: An around-the-clock guide from 5 a.m. fishing to midnight swimming. Fancy a hearty English breakfast...
