I scour the travel feeds all week so you don’t have to!  And while I can’t possibly include all of the great blog posts from this week, I offer up this assortment of information and adventure to keep you entertained.  Grab a cup of coffee and settle in, and if you enjoy any of these posts, please let them know that you heard about it at Flyaway Cafe.
