Gosh there are so many newbies popping up every day, my fingers are getting sore just from replying and welcoming all of you.

So, here is one big hug and welcome to all you who have recently joined this unique family.

Just so you  know, I have been on this site  almost from the beginning.  I learned a lot, asked questions and always got answers. I am racking up many more PC points because of   short cuts and the how to's from members. I became an ambassador becasue it's a good deal.and have renewed  for the past 4 years.

I am an active participant, blog weekly and travel for fun throughout the year..  Sometimes it  is a staycation at a nearby  IHG hotel, other times, it may be around the country or around the world.

  I can do this because  I am retired and whenever the wanderlust calls I'm ready to pull out my passport and go.

Once again. Glad you are here.
