MINNESOTA: THE NORTH STAR
STATE

LARROY
The
preparation for a vacation is almost
as exhilarating as the vacation itself.
I love printing out the tickets and confirmations while thinking about how much
fun I will have on vacation. Now that summer is here I want
to discuss places to go on your summer vacations. I think that some of the best
destinations in the world are right here in our great country America. So I am
continuing my tour across America. When youwant to plan a vacation contact me!
