Thank you again #NYTTS I loved media and trade day!
I enjoyed the speakers, keynotes and having time to reconnect with good friends. I look forward to traveling to many new places in 2019.
Who did I see? #NYTTravelShow

One Ocean Expeditions to explore the Arctic and Antarctic
PADI: Do you scuba dive? I love to go scuba diving!
