| 0:03.4 | and you don't want to spend a ton of money |
| 0:05.2 | and you don't want to take a ton of time away |
| 0:07.0 | from working family, I highly encourage you |
| 0:09.6 | to check out lost travel company. |
| 0:11.7 | They do trips all over the country, |
| 0:13.9 | everything from biking to rafting to kayaking, |
