It wasn't a very good income, though and a lot of work - nursing paid so much better. I did start to sell cruises from home but, again, it didn't give me enough to support my family - it was just fun. But I love learning about travel...and I love to travel!RNSANEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02841873957894861725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35775558.post-21834832246072093412010-04-18T01:02:59.481-07:002010-04-18T01:02:59.481-07:00Tina - as you can see, that wicker basket is a sma...Tina - as you can see, that wicker basket is a small thing and open, whizzing down a regular street.
