Off-Season Travel

There’s something to be said for going to a hot-spot when it’s a cool spot. ‘Cool,’ being the operative term to take away. Some destinations have it going on all-year-round, or at minimum, after Leo has left the dance floor, and Jeff’s boat has sailed off into the sunset beyond the borders of the Med.
