Bonjour! I made it here…after missing the first flight, ha! There were two dates on my ticket, the one in black bold writing was actually the arrival date in Frankfurt. Which meant the little white date in the left hand corner was the departure date. Aunty Chris and I both missed it. So I paid [...]

The guy’s who ran the dot com company Govworks may have had a personality clash but damn they had passion. They got their team cranking in the mornings with a chant yelled out over a sound sea of clapping: “What are we gonna do? Rock ‘em! When are we gonna do it? Every day! How are we [...]
