Hey all,
I appear to have discovered a glitch on the blog (mobile). I tried looking for an email address to send to the team here at OMAAT but couldn't find an email. If anyone knows the email, it would be appreciated.
Thanks
@ Dave -- You can send it to me at tiffany at onemileatatime dot com, and I'll forward it over to the tech team. Thank you!
I fly out of PHL on LUS routes to Europe and was on one of his flights in the past year.

Excellent advice!
I tell this to all clients as well. Don't worry about tomorrow. And I am a retirement counselor.
