Summary
The summer travel season is officially upon us, and for the first time in a long time, it feels like millions of Americans will be hitting the roads and taking to the skies to enjoy their long awaited vacations. I know I'm Europe bound and Mark will be as well in August.

So sit back, relax, and enjoy!
