Is Your Travelogue A Household Name?
I was at a party last night listening to my friends talk about their upcoming trip to Russia. The husband was telling us about where they were going and included the advice, “Lars and Jacqui said…XXX about Russia.” Right then, his wife interjected the way couples do in telling a story.
