Coasting

Posted on September 24, 2008 by Amy

Since E.P.T. abruptly signaled a near end to the us-centered lives of Kyle and me, we decided that it would be wise, responsible and prudent to take a week off from work to spend money we don’t have on a little getaway. So that’s what we did. We took a cruise from L.A. and visited San [...]
