My husband Glenn and I have been married for 24 years, and are the best of friends and travel companions. We operate under the creed that "you can't take it with you", and we're always on the lookout for the next adventure. We love to travel around the great state of Texas with our 27' Flying Cloud Airstream that we've optimistically dubbed "Cloud Nine".
