A Million Thanks to Million Mile Secrets

I want to thank Daraius from Million Mile Secrets for featuring me on his Friday morning “Big Travel with Small Money” series.  I have been a long time reader of his site and enjoy reading his articles every day.  I have had the pleasure to speak with Emily a few times and get a picture with her at the Frequent Traveler University in Tyson’s Corner, VA a few months back.  I highly recommend you guys check it out.  The next event is in Tampa, FL from September 27-29 (details here).
